BEFORE USING THE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
Pay attention to all warnings and cautions before using the unit. Incorrect usage could 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, they may have high voltage or high temperature. You may get
electrical shock or burned.
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. Insulation failure, burning, smoke or other damages may occur.
zConfirm connections to input/output terminals are correct as indicated in the instruction manual.
zThis power supply has a possibility for hazardous voltage to appear at output terminal 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.

3. Explanation of Functions and Precautions
3-1. Input Voltage Range
Input voltage range is single phase 88 ~ 264VAC (47 ~ 63Hz) or 125 ~ 373VDC for LS25 ~ LS100.
For LS150, selectable switch 115/230VAC will decide the input voltage range as mentioned in the table below.
Input voltage which is out of specification, may damage the unit. For cases where conformance to various
safety specs(UL,CSA,EN) are required, input voltage range will be 100~240VAC (50/60Hz ).
Note : LS series able to withstand Input Surge of 300VAC for 5 seconds.
LS150 – Selectable voltage range
Selected Range Applicable Input Voltage Range in VAC Applicable Input Voltage Range in VDC
115 88 ~ 132 NA
230 176 ~ 264 248 ~ 373
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. Note over voltage protection ( OVP ) function may trigger if the output voltage is increased
excessively.
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 except for LS25. The input need to be removed for a few minutes, and then
re-input for recovery of the output. OVP setting is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally.
Note : For LS25, OVP function will cause the output into ”hiccup” mode and damage the unit.
3-5. Over Current Protection (OCP)
OCP function operates when the output current exceeds OCP specifications. The output will automatically recover when
the overload condition is removed. Do not operate overload or dead short conditions for more than 30 seconds, which
could result in damage or insulation failure.
3-6. Output Ripple & Noise
Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 300mm twisted pair of load wires terminated with a 0.1uF film ca-
pacitor & 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 Electrolytic Capacitors especially at -25degC. Output voltage rise may
not be smooth during initial turn on at low temperature.

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 withstand voltage, set current limit of with-
stand 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, 1min (100mA)

5-2 Mounting Method
1) This is convection cooling type power supply. In consideration of the heat radiation and safety, please keep a dis-
tance of more than 15mm between the power supply and the peripheral parts. When lining up multiple units, please
make sure to place them 15mm or more apart from each other.
2) Maximum allowable penetration of mounting screws into the power-supply is 5mm except LS25 (4mm).
3) Recommended torque for mounting screws of LS25 ~ LS150 (M3 screw) : 0.49 N⋅m (5.0 kgf⋅cm).
6. Wiring Method
zThe input and output load wires shall be separated and twisted to improve noise immunity.
zBoth wires must be as thick and short as possible to make lower impedance.
zNoise can be reduced by connecting a film capacitor with 0.1uF capacitance across the load terminals.
zFor safety and EMI considerations, connect the FG terminal of LS series to mounting set ground terminal.
zThe recommended wire type :

7. External Fuse Rating
Refer to the following fuse rating when selecting the external input fuse. Surge current flows when input turns on.
Fuse rating is specified by Inrush Current value at input turn on. Do not select the fuse according to input current (rms)
values under the actual load condition.
LS25 : F1.6A , 250V
LS35, LS50 : T2A , 250V
LS75 : T2.5A , 250V
LS100 : F4A , 250V
LS150 : F5A , 250V
8. Before concluding that the unit is at fault, make the following checks.
zCheck if the rated input voltage is connected.
zCheck if the wiring of input and output is correct.
zCheck if the wire size is correct.
zCheck if the output voltage trimmer (V.ADJ) is properly adjusted.
zCheck if the output current and output wattage does not exceed the specification.
