Warnings
and
Cautions
Warnings and cautions are defined and formatted in this manual as shown below.
Power
Supply
Safety
WARNING
Describes a potential hazard which could result in injury or death, or, a procedure
which, if not performed correctly, could result in injury or death.
!
CAUTION
Describes a procedure which, if not performed correctly, could result in damage
to data, equipment, or systems.
WARNING—High Energy and High Voltage
Exercise caution when using and calibrating a power supply. High energy levels
can be stored at the output voltage terminals on a power supply in normal
operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and on
the output and sense connectors of a power supply with a rated output greater
than 40 V. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time after
power is removed.
!
CAUTION
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or fumes. To
ensure that the power supply’s safety features are not compromised, use the
power supply as specified in this manual and do not substitute parts or make any
unauthorized modifications. Contact the service technician for service and repair
help. Repairs must be made by experienced service technicians only.
!
CAUTION
For Use as a Battery Charger
When you are using any of these power supplies for battery charging applications,
it is essential to provide an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in series
between the power supply output and the battery.
Installation of a protector (fuse or DC circuit breaker) rated for about 115% of the
maximum current rating of the power supply and designed specifically to interrupt
the DC voltage of the battery, will provide adequate reverse polarity current
protection. Where several power supplies are in parallel, it is best to fuse each one,
rather than one large fuse for all.

About This Manual
This Operating Manual contains operating instructions for the XDC Series Slave
power supplies. This power supply is based on the XDC Series of digital,
programmable power supplies, with the same high level of accuracy and reliability,
but specifically designed with no front panel interface for use as a slave unit
controlled via CANbus (Control Area Network bus).
Who Should Use This Manual
This manual is designed for users who understand basic electrical theory, especially
as applied to the operation of power supplies. This implies a recognition of constant
voltage and constant current operating modes and the control of input and output
power, as well as the observance of safe techniques while making connections to the
supply and any changes in settings.
This manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the full digital front panel
XDC Series Operating manual. If you do not plan to use this power supply in a
system with a full digital front panel XDC Series power supply, please contact the
manufacturer for additional application data.

Release 1.0 13
Section 1. Overview
The XDC series Slave power supply is designed for use in current sharing systems
as a slave module connected in parallel with an XDC 6000 Watt series full digital
controlled front panel unit. In such a configuration, the XDC full digital controlled
front panel unit is acting as the master of the current sharing system. The
communication between the master and slave is made via a CANbus digital interface
to control all the parameters needed for proper current sharing.
The XDC 6000 Watt series full digital controlled front panel unit used as a master
needs to be the same model as the slave module (i.e. Voltage-Current), and be
equipped with the CANbus digital interface (optional on the XDC 6000 Watt series).
It also needs the proper firmware version for the control mother board (see page 19).
Features
•Supports up to five XDC units in current sharing configuration (one master and
four slaves)
•Front panel with the standard rack mount brackets, handles, ON/OFF switch and
two status LEDs (one green for POWER ON and one red for OUTPUT OFF - lit
when the output is off)
•Standard CANbus and RS-232 digital remote control
•Auto Addressing in current share initialization
•Digital processing for accurate control
•CE mark, UL and CSA Approvals, FCC compliant

AC Input Connector
The AC input connector is a standard wire clamp terminal block with 3-phase
connectors and a chassis ground connector. The safety ground wire, alternatively,
may be connected to the chassis using a ring tongue on the ground stud as shown in
Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 AC Input Connector
AC Input Wire
The manufacturer recommends the AC input wire specified in Table 2.1. This must
be permanently connected to an approved AC distribution box with suitably rated
over-current protection. If you require a special cord, contact the manufacturer.

AC Wire Input Connection
See Figure 2.2, on page 18.
To connect the AC input wires:
1. Ensure that the AC input cord is de-energized, and that the power switch on the
front of the power supply is OFF.
2. Strip approximately 6.25 in. (160 mm) from the jacket of the AC wire. Strip
0.55 in. (14 mm) at the end of each wire.
3. Undo the 2 screws for the AC wiring strain relief/cover on the rear panel.
Remove the cover.
4. Undo the strain relief screws. Insert the AC input cable through the strain relief
until the outer cable jacket is flush with the inside of the strain relief. Tighten the
strain relief cable clamp screws.
5. Insert the ground wire (green) 0.55 in. (14 mm) into the left-most terminal
location, and tighten securely1. (The safety ground wire may alternatively be
connected to the chassis ground stud next to the terminal block, using a suitably
sized ring terminal).
6. Route the AC wires to the input terminal block by connecting the red, black, and
white wires to the remaining 3 cable clamp connectors. There is no set order for
connecting the wires. Any of the 3-phase wires can be connected to any of the 3
line input connectors. To connect each wire, loosen the terminal screw, insert the
stripped wire 0.55 in. (14 mm) into the terminal, and tighten the screw securely1.
7. Reinstall the AC input strain relief/cover, routing wires inside the cover to
prevent pinching.
8. Connect the free end of the cable to the AC source, checking that the voltage is
within the approved input range for the supply.
9. Energize the AC input.
It is now safe to turn the power supply on.
1. Torque maximum 2 Nm/16 lb. in.
