SECTION 1
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 PURPOSE
This manual contains operation and maintenance instructions for
the 6000 Series of high performance laboratory power supplies.
The series consists of six basic models which can be combined
into dual, triple, and quadruple configurations in any
combination of models. The basic models are designated by a 6
prefix, followed by the voltage rating, followed by an S for a
single supply, D for a dual supply, T for a triple supply, or Q
for a quadruple supply. For example, the 6007S model number
signifies that this is a single supply rated at 0 to 7 Vdc
output. Similarly, a 6015D is a dual supply rated at 0 to 15 Vdc
per individual unit.
Five major sections form the manual divisions:
Section 1 - Description of series features and specifications.
Section 2 - Installation and operating instructions.
Section 3 - Theory of operation.
Section 4 - Maintenance and service procedures.
Section 5 - Drawings, schematics, and parts lists.
1.2 DESCRIPTION
The 6000 Series of laboratory power supplies are designed to
provide high stability, continuously variable output voltage and
current for a broad range of development and system requirements.
The 6000 Series employs precision linear regulator technology to
achieve precise regulation and low output noise levels.
1.3 OPERATING MODES
The 6000 Series has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage
and Constant Current. In the former, the output voltage is
regulated at the front panel selected value, and the output
current varies with the load. In constant current operation, the
output current is regulated at the selected value and the output
voltage varies as a function of the output load.
1.3.1 Automatic Crossover
The automatic crossover system enables the unit to transfer
operating modes as a function of load requirements. If, for
example, the load current attempts to increase above the setting
of the current adjust control, the unit will switch automatically
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATION 1-1 Rev - (1/87

XANTREX TECHNOLOGY INC. 6000 SERIES MANUAL
from the voltage to the current regulating mode. If the load
requirements are lowered, return to the voltage mode will occur
automatically.
1.3.2 Sense Connections
To compensate for losses in power leads connected to the output,
sense connections are provided beside the output binding posts.
Connecting the positive and negative sense lines to the point
where the metered output voltage is desired will automatically
compensate for the voltage losses in the main power leads
(provided the sum of these losses do not exceed 0.5 volts). With
the voltmeter reading 10.0 volts, for example, and having the
sense lines connected directly to the load, the load voltage will
stay at exactly 10.0 volts regardless of the voltage drops in
the power leads, no matter how much current is drawn. Do not use
the sense connections without the normal power lead connections
to the output terminals, and avoid reversing positive and
negative lead connections.
1.4 EQUIPMENT FEATURES
o Simultaneous digital display of both voltage and current.
o Unique analog bar graph displays of both voltage and current
for ease of mon-itoring transient changes under varying loads.
o Ten tur^i potentiometer voltage control allowing high
resolution setting of the output voltage.
o Current adjust potentiometer allowing current limiting which
is fully adjustable from zero to the rated output.
o Automatic mode crossover into current or voltage mode.
o Impedance-switched remote sensing allowing the voltage at the
load to be displayed without switch ambiguity.
o Optimized output connections: 5-way binding posts on 0.75
inch centers - dual banana plug, with or without safety
ground.
o Flexible output configuration: Multiple units can be
connected in parallel or series without damage and are short
circuit proof.
o Modular design allowing easy replacement or repair of plug
connected sub-assemblies.
A broad range of optional features:
- Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
- External TTL Shutdown
- Remote Voltage & Current Programming
- Audible Mode Indication
