This chapter contains important safety
instructions that you must follow during
operation and storage. Read the following before
any operation to ensure your safety and to keep
the instrument in the best possible condition.

instrument was purchased.
Safety Guidelines
General
Guideline
CAUTION
Do not place any heavy object on the T3PS.
Avoid severe impact or rough handling that
leads to damaging the T3PS.
Do not discharge static electricity to the T3PS.
Use only mating connectors, not bare wires, for
the terminals.
Do not block the cooling fan opening.
Do not disassemble the T3PS unless you are
qualified.
Power Supply
WARNING
AC Input voltage rating: 100Vac-240Vac +/-10%
Frequency: 47Hz~63Hz
To avoid electrical shock connect the protective
grounding conductor of the AC power cord to
an earth ground.
Cleaning the
T3PS
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild
detergent and water. Do not spray any liquid.
Do not use chemicals containing harsh material
such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and acetone.
Operation
Environment
Location: Indoor, no direct sunlight, dust free,
almost non-conductive pollution (Note below)
Relative Humidity: 20%~ 85%
Altitude: < 2000m
Temperature: 0°C to 50°C

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
7
Mains supply voltage fluctuations: +/-10 %
Overvoltage category: OVC II
If the equipment is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
LAN, RS232/RS485 and USB ports are only to
be connected to the circuits which are separated
from mains supply by double / reinforce
insulation.
(Pollution Degree) EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-030 specify the
pollution degrees and their requirements as follows. The T3PS falls
under degree 2.
Pollution refers to “addition of foreign matter, solid, liquid, or
gaseous (ionized gases), that may produce a reduction of dielectric
strength or surface resistivity”.
Pollution degree 1: No pollution or only dry, non-conductive
pollution occurs. The pollution has no influence.
Pollution degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs. Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused
by condensation must be expected.
Pollution degree 3: Conductive pollution occurs, or dry, non-
conductive pollution occurs which becomes conductive due to
condensation which is expected. In such conditions, equipment
is normally protected against exposure to direct sunlight,
precipitation, and full wind pressure, but neither temperature
nor humidity is controlled.
Storage
environment
Location: Indoor
Temperature: -25°C to 70°C
Relative Humidity: <90%, no condensation
Disposal
Do not dispose this instrument as unsorted
municipal waste. Please use a separate collection
facility or contact the supplier from which this
instrument was purchased. Please make sure
discarded electrical waste is properly recycled to
reduce environmental impact.
All hazardous wiring must be immediately destroyed and replaced
in accordance to the above standard.

Theory of Operation
The theory of operation chapter describes the basic principles of
operation, protection modes and important considerations that
must be taken into account before use.
Operating Area Description
Background
The power supplies are regulated DC power
supplies with a high voltage and current output.
These operate in CC or CV mode within a wide
operating range limited only by the output power.
The operating area of each power supply is
determined by the rated output power as well as
the voltage and current rating. For example the
operating area and rated power output for the
T3PS30721P is shown below.
Voltage
Current

360W rated power

T3PS30721P Operating Area
When the power supply is configured so that the
total output (current x voltage output) is less than
the rated power output, the power supply
functions as a typical constant current, constant
voltage power supply.
If however, the power supply is configured such
that the total output (current x voltage output)
exceeds the rated power output, the effective
output is actually limited to the power limit of the

GETTING STARTED
19
unit. In this case the output current and voltage
then depend purely on the load value.
Below is a comparison of the operating areas of
each power supply.
