BEFORE USING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
Pay attention to all warnings and cautions before using the unit. Incorrect usage may lead to an electrical
shock, damage to the unit or a fire hazard.
WARNING and CAUTION
zDo not modify.
zDo not touch the internal components; it may have high voltage or high temperature. You may get electrical
shock or burn.
zWhen the unit is operating, keep your hands and face away from it as you may be injured by flying debris in
the event of a fault.
zThis power supply is designed for use within an end product. Stick the WARNING label for users on the
system equipment and notify in the system instruction manual.
zNever operate the unit under over current or short-circuit conditions for more than 30 seconds or outside its
specified Input Voltage Range, which could result in damage but there is no possibility of fire or burning.
zConfirm connections to input/output terminals are correct as indicated in the instruction manual.
zHazardous voltage may appear at output terminals depending on the type of failure. The outputs of these
products must be earthed in the end equipment to maintain SELV.
If the outputs are not earthed, they must be considered hazardous and must not be made user accessible.
Note: CE MARKING
CE marking, when applied to the LS series products, indicates compliance with the Low Voltage Directive
(2006/95/EC) in that it complies with EN60950-1 2nd edition.

3. Explanation of Functions and Precautions
3-1. Input Voltage Range
Input voltage range is single phase 85 ~ 264VAC (47 ~ 63Hz) or 120 ~ 373VDC.
Input voltage which is out of specification, may damage the unit. For cases where conformance to vari-
ous safety specifications (UL, CSA, EN) are required, input voltage range shall be 100~240VAC
(50/60Hz).
Note: LS200 series is able to withstand Input Surge of 300VAC for 5 seconds.
3-2. Output Voltage Range
V.ADJ trimmer is for output voltage adjustment within the range of specifications. Turning the trimmer
clockwise will increase the output voltage. Kindly note that Over Voltage Protection (OVP) function
may trigger if the output voltage is increased excessively. Please ensure that the output power is below
the rated output power, and output current is below the maximum output current (3.3V ~ 15V and 48V)
or below the peak output current (24V ~ 36V) when output voltage is raised.
3-3. Inrush Current
Power Thermistor is built in to protect the circuit from high Inrush Current. Please select suitable input
switch and fuse rating in case of re-input the power at high temperature.
3-4. Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The OVP function will shutdown the output. The input shall be removed for a few minutes, and then re-
input for recovery of the output. OVP setting is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally.
3-5. Over Current Protection (OCP)
OCP function activates when the output current exceeds the specified OCP limit. The output will auto-
matically recover when the overload condition is removed. Do not operate overload or dead short con-
ditions for more than 30 seconds, which could result in damage. There is no possibility of fire or burn-
ing.
3-6. Over Temperature Protection (OTP)
Over Temperature Protection function (manual reset type) is available. When ambient or internal tem-
perature rises abnormally, OTP function will shut down the output. To recover the unit, first shut down
the AC input and let the unit cool down before turning ON the AC input.
3-7. Remote Sensing (+S, -S terminal)
Remote sensing function is provided to compensate for voltage drop across the wiring from the power
supply output terminals to the load input terminals. Connect “+S” terminal to “+Vm” terminal of the
load and “-S” terminal to the “-Vm” terminal of the load with sensing wires. The total line voltage
drop (+Vm side line and –Vm side line) shall be less than 0.3V. In the case that sensing wires are too
long, it is necessary to put an electrolytic capacitor across the load terminals. Example of external ca-
pacitor is listed in the table below :
Minimum external capacitance at the load input terminal

F
When not using the remote sensing function, +S & -S terminal shall be connected to +Vm & –Vm
terminals of CN2 respectively. Please use the attached connector of CN2 for this purpose.
This is to ensure stability and accuracy of the output.
3-8. Remote ON/OFF Control
Remote ON/OFF control is available.
Output can be remotely switched OFF by connecting an external logic high signal to CNT+ terminal
versus CNT- terminal. And when the external signal is changed to logic low, the output will switched
ON immediately.
CNT+ Level versus CNT- terminal Output
0 ~ 0.8V ON
3 ~ 12V OFF
When not using the remote ON/OFF function, CNT+ terminal must be shorted to CNT- terminal with
the attached connector shown in 2-3.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
3-9. Output Ripple & Noise
Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz using a 300mm twisted pair of load wires terminated with a
0.1uF film capacitor & 47uF electrolytic capacitor. When load lines are longer, ripple becomes larger.
The output ripple cannot be measured accurately if the probe ground lead of oscilloscope is too long.
At low temperature, large ripple & noise may also be observed due to large ESR of the internal Electro-
lytic Capacitors especially at -25 oC. Output voltage rise may not be smooth during initial turn on at low
temperature.
3-10. Series Operation
For series operation, either method (A) or (B) is possible.
Method ( A ) Method ( B )
Note: In case of Method (A), please connect diodes to prevent the reverse voltage.
3-11. Parallel Operation
(A) (B)
(A) Operation to increase the Output Current is not possible.
(B) Operation as a Backup Power Supply is possible as follows.
(1) Set the power supply output voltage higher by the amount of forward voltage drop (VF) of
the diode.
(2) Please adjust the output voltage of each power supply to be the same.
(3) Please use within the specifications for output voltage and output current.
Connect “CNT+” terminal to “CNT-” terminal with wire CN2 connector.

4. Isolation / Withstand Voltage
4-1. Isolation Test
Isolation resistance between output and FG (chassis) shall be more than 100MΩat 500VDC. For safety,
voltage setting of DC isolation tester must be done before the test. Ensure that the unit is fully discharged
after the test.

4-2. Withstand Voltage
This series is designed to withstand 3.0kVAC between input and output, 1.5kVAC between input and FG
(chassis) and 500VAC between output and FG (chassis) each for 1 minute. When testing withstands volt-
age, set current limit of withstand voltage test equipment at 20mA (Output-FG (chassis): 100mA). The
applied voltage must be gradually increased from zero to testing value and then gradually decreased for
shut down. When timer is used, the power supply may be damaged by high impulse voltage at timer
switch on and off. Connect input and output as follows :
(a) Input ~ FG (chassis) : solid line (c) Output ~ FG (chassis) : 500VAC

9. Before concluding that the unit is at fault…
Please make the following checks.
(1) Check if the rated input voltage is connected and within specification.
(2) Check if the wiring of input and output is correct.
(3) Check if the I/O terminal connection is properly tighten by required torque.
(4) Check if the wire thickness is enough.
(5) Check if the output voltage trimmer (V.ADJ) is properly adjusted. OVP might be triggered and output is
shutdown.
