Important Safety Instructions
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.

Changing Internal Jumpers
Some of the settings on the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card are user
selectable by way of jumpers on the printed circuit board. The procedure
for changing the jumpers varies depending on if you have a 1.2kW XFR,
or a 2.8kW XFR.
CAUTION
If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control
techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on
the printed circuit board.
Procedure for 1.2kW XFR
Ensure that the input power connection has been disconnected and the
unit is powered off before you attempt to remove the top cover. Remove
all the screws holding down the top cover and then remove the cover. The
printed circuit board that you need access to is upside down (component
side down), so you must remove all the screws that are holding it in place.
Refer to Figure 2-4 to see which screws should not be removed.

Installation and Configuration
Configuring for Ethernet or RS-232
This interface card can be configured for Ethernet communication, or for
RS-232 communication, but not both simultaneously. From the factory,
the instrument will be configured for Ethernet communication. Therefore
you should only need to follow these instructions if you are switching
over to RS-232, or back to Ethernet. To switch between the two
configurations, you must change internal jumpers on the interface card.
See “Changing Internal Jumpers” on page 2–8. Also refer to Table 2-2
and Figure 2-3 on page 2–6 to locate the corresponding jumpers.

When you have finished changing the jumper positions, ensure that the
baud rate, flow control, and power-on state are configured properly for
your new setup. These settings are also changed by adding or removing
jumpers, so it is best to perform this adjustment, if necessary, while the
interface card is accessible. Refer to “Baud Rate Selection” on page 2–18,
“Flow Control Selection” on page 2–19 and “Remote/Local Mode
Startup” on page 2–20 for more detailed information on how to
reconfigure these settings.
Note: If you are switching the interface card back to Ethernet it is
recommended to set the baud rate to 9600, turn flow control off, and
have the unit power-on in remote mode (these are the default settings).

Ethernet Communications
Ethernet Communications
Ethernet Connection
There are two options for controlling your XFR power supply via
Ethernet - "Connecting to a Network" or "Connecting Directly to your
Computer." The first option is to connect the power supply to a network,
and control the unit from your computer which is also connected to the
network. The second option is to connect the XFR directly to your
computer's network interface card (NIC). This bypasses the need for an
existing network.
Connecting to a Network
All that is required to connect your XFR to a network is a straight through
CAT 5 network cable and an available network port.
Connecting Directly to your Computer
To connect your XFR directly to your computer you will need a cross-
over CAT 5 network cable. You will also need to check your network
settings on your computer to ensure that you are using a static IP address.
Check with your IT department for assistance.

Installation and Configuration
Locating the Power Supply on Your Network
1. Record the MAC address for your power supply. This will be visible
at the back of the XFR, on the interface card subplate. For example,
MAC Address
00429D 22EF45
MAC Address:
______________________________
2. Insert the Xantrex XFR Ethernet Software Utilities CD into your CD
drive.
3. If the CD does not start automatically, double-click the My Computer
icon, double-click the CD icon and then double-click
autorun_main.htm.
4. When the menu appears, click Xantrex Device Discovery to install
and run the application. This application will find and list all XFR’s
with an Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card on your network.
5. You can now scan the list and locate your new XFR by its MAC
address.
6. If your network uses a DHCP server and DHCP was enabled on the
XFR, your new instrument will already have an IP address. If not, you
will have to configure an IP address manually. Refer to steps 2 and 3
in “Configuring Ethernet Bridge” on page 2–15 for more information.
7. Write down the IP address so that you can access the instrument via
its web server, and for when you start communicating with the power
supply.

Ethernet Communications
Configuring Ethernet Bridge
The Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card has an Ethernet Bridge that converts
the ethernet packets to serial data signals for processing by the embedded
microcontroller. The Ethernet Bridge must be properly configured for
serial communications with the microcontroller. For example, settings on
the Bridge, such as Baud Rate and Flow Control, must match the jumper
settings on the interface board.
There are two ways to gain access to the configuration menu for the
Ethernet Bridge. One is to run the Setup program that is available on the
Software CD. This program will find your instrument and allow you to
configure it by clicking on the instrument’s IP address. You will then need
to enter the correct username and password to be able to configure the
device.
Default Username: root
Default Password: dbps
The other method is to open up a web browser like Internet Explorer, and
type in the IP address for the instrument. Again, you will be asked for the
username and password. Once you have accessed the configuration page,
follow these steps for proper setup.
1. Click Configuration > Serial Port, and ensure that the following
settings have been selected:
•
•
•
•
•
Baud Rate:
Data Bits:
Parity:
Stop Bits:
Flow Control:
9600

None
Click Apply once you have finished adjusting the above settings.
2. Now click Configuration > Network. If your network uses a DHCP
server (ask your IT department) you should select Obtain IP address
automatically using DHCP and then click Apply. If your network
doesn’t use a DHCP server, select Use the following IP address: and
enter an appropriate IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. .
3. Ask for assistance from your IT department to obtain an appropriate
IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Name Server, and
Domain. Once you have made the appropriate changes, click Apply. If
this changed the setting, the device will reboot, so you will have to
renew your connection to its configuration webpage for any further
configuration changes.

Installing and Using RealPort®
Background
RealPort® software allows you to keep using your existing applications
that rely on COM ports and RS-232 links for communication purposes,
instead of having to develop TCP/IP based network applications. Installed
on a network-enabled PC, RealPort® creates a virtual COM port. As
such, your application still thinks it is working with a real serial port, such
as COM1. When the application sends data to this serial port, RealPort®
ships the data across the network to the Ethernet Bridge in your power
supply. By doing this, the network is transparent to your existing
application.
Installation
RealPort® can be installed on any PC running Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
1. Insert the Xantrex XFR Ethernet Software Utilities CD into your CD
drive
2. If the CD does not start automatically, double-click the My Computer
icon, double-click the CD icon and then double-click
autorun_main.htm.
3. When the menu appears, click Digi RealPort®.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions for proper installation.
Note: RealPort® drivers for UNIX systems are available. Contact your
Xantrex representative to obtain these drivers if necessary.
Using RealPort®
Once you have installed the RealPort® driver for your power supply,
using it is as simple as running your existing application (such as
HyperTerminal, or a custom RS-232 application) and setting the COM
port to be the one created by the RealPort® driver for your instrument.

signaling that the power supply is under the control of the digital interface
card. The output of the power supply is active on startup. To promote load
safety, power ON defaults are zero for the output voltage and current
limit, and 110% of maximum output voltage for the OVP trip point. See
Table 2-10. Refer to “Operation” for more information about the interface
commands listed in the table.
If the PON REM jumper is closed, the power supply will power up in
local mode. Power supply control is at the front panel. During an
operating session, you can toggle between local mode and remote mode
by using the front panel LOCAL button or sending commands as
described in Table 2-10.
Note: The default setting for this jumper is open. If you require it to be closed
(PON in local mode) you can obtain a spare jumper by removing the one that

of device-dependent commands available with this interface.
From remote mode, change to local mode operation by pressing the front
panel LOCAL button or by sending either the GTL command or the
REN OFF command. You can disable the LOCAL button by using the
LLO command. For an example of how to use Local Lockout, see “Local
Lockout (LLO) Command” on page 2–23.
To return to remote mode, ensure that the REN command is set to ON and
then send any valid device-dependent command. Since the remote mode
output settings may be different from the local mode settings, the output is
programmed to protect the load by turning off when you toggle from local
to remote mode during a session. Check your remote settings and then
send OUT ON to restore the output.

Installation and Configuration
Local Mode Operation
In local mode operation, you set the voltage and current output levels and
the OVP trip level with controls located on the front panel. Refer to the
operating manual for a description of the functions available at the front
panel.
While in local mode operation, you can change power supply control to
remote mode by ensuring that REN is ON, then sending any software
command and OUT ON to restore the output. Return to local mode by
pressing the front panel LOCAL button, unless Local Lockout is in effect.
If LLO is in effect, use the GTL command to send the power supply into
local mode, or use the REN OFF command to turn off LLO and return the
power supply to local mode.
Example:
Press the LOCAL button
Id?
Set unit to local mode
Put the unit into remote mode
(Use any command to do this.)
Press the LOCAL button
Return to local mode.
Remote Enable (REN) Command
You can use the Remote Enable command to toggle between local mode
and remote mode. The default setting at startup is REN ON. With the
remote enable command set at REN ON, you can return the power supply
to remote mode whenever you send any command from the computer.
Any time that you change from local to remote mode during a session, the
output is programmed to turn off, since the remote mode settings may be
different from the local mode settings. Send the OUT ON command to
restore the output.
You can turn off Remote Enable and move power supply control to the
front panel by sending the REN OFF command. If the Local Lockout
condition is in effect, sending the REN OFF command will turn off the
LLO condition before sending the unit into local mode.
To check whether the power supply is remote enabled, use the REN?
query command.
Example:
REN ON
Enable the power supply to be sent into
remote mode
VSET 10;ISET 2
Put the unit into remote operation mode
(Use any command to do this.)

Power Supply Settings
Local Lockout (LLO) Command
Use the Local Lockout command to disable the LOCAL button on the
power supply front panel. With LLO in effect, you cannot return to local
control by pressing the front panel LOCAL switch. You can still return to
local mode by sending the Go to Local (GTL) command. However, to turn
off LLO and return the power supply to local mode, send the REN OFF
command. Only the REN OFF command will remove the LLO condition.
Example:
LLO
GTL
Set Local Lockout
Return the power supply to local mode.
Local Lockout is still in effect
REN OFF
Turn off Local Lockout and return the
power supply to local mode

Installation and Configuration
Additional User Options and Settings
You can customize remote operation settings for OVP (over voltage
protection) control and TTL shutdown by changing jumper positions on
the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card. Refer to the operating manual for
information on how to use over voltage protection and TTL shutdown.
OVP Selection
Over voltage protection (OVP) on the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface is set at
the factory for remote software operation. When operating the power
supply in remote mode, you control the OVP trip level using the OVSET
software command. If you return the power supply to local operation by
using the REN software command or the front panel LOCAL switch,
control of the OVP trip level changes from software control to the front
panel OVP potentiometer. The default OVP trip level is set as 110% of the
power supply's rated output voltage. See Table 2-10 on page 2–21 for a
complete list of remote power ON default settings.
You can isolate the location of OVP control by changing the positions of
the Local OVP Control jumper J65 and the Remote OVP Control jumper
J103, both on the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface PCB. The default jumper
settings allow control of OVP to depend on the operating state of the
power supply. By physically changing the jumper settings, you can isolate
the location of OVP control to software control only or front panel control
only. Table 2-12, “OVP Control Mode Selection” on page 2–24 shows a
table of jumper settings and OVP programming selection. Refer to Figure
2-3 on page 2–6 for the location of the jumpers on the Ethernet/RS-232
Interface PCB. You will need to remove the cover to change any jumpers.
See “Changing Internal Jumpers” on page 2–8.

Additional User Options and Settings
TTL Shutdown Polarity
You can use the Shutdown function to disable or enable the supply's
output. Disabling the supply using TTL shutdown allows you to make
adjustments to the load or to the power supply without shutting down the
power supply. With the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface installed, TTL
shutdown is activated by a TTL signal to Pin 1 of the user lines connector
on the interface subplate. The shutdown user line uses a 0-5Vdc TTL
input with a high signal range of 2.2-5.0Vdc. The current range of the
shutdown line is 1-10mA. See Figure 2-6, “User Lines Signal Connector
Circuit Block Diagram” on page 2–27 for a schematic of the user lines
connector containing the shutdown user line.
You can select the logic level of the TTL input by changing the J93
connector on the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface PCB. Table 2-13 shows the
TTL signal levels for the J93 jumper settings. See Figure 2-3 for the
location of the J93 jumper on the printed circuit board. You will need to
remove the cover to change any jumpers. See “Changing Internal
Jumpers” on page 2–8.

Installation and Configuration
User Signals
User Lines Connector
Auxiliary User Lines connector, located on the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface
rear panel, provides several signals to increase your operating control of
the supply. These signals are dependent on the operator's design and uses.
The operation of the user lines connector signal requires that you provide
external Vcc and ground. Use a standard 8-position telephone jack and
data cable to connect to the user lines connector. To locate the connector,
refer to the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface subplate drawing in Figure 2-2 on
page 2–5. See Table 2-14 for pin descriptions. The user lines connector
outputs can sink a current of 5mA each. Figure 2-6 on page 2–27 shows
the portion of the option board schematic which contains the user line
connector. Use the schematic as a reference when making input or output
connections.

Installation and Configuration
User Lines Cable Connection
Use a standard 8-position telephone jack and data cable to connect to the
user line connector. Add a ferrite block to reduce radiated emission. The
one inch square ferrite block with built-in housing clip is packaged and
shipped with the power supply interface card.
To install the ferrite block:
1. Position the block no more than 5 cm (2 in.) from the power supply
end of the user line connector cable.
2. Open the ferrite block housing.
3. Loop the cable through the ferrite block. See Figure 2-7, “User Lines
Cable with Ferrite Block” on page 2–28.
4. Close the housing clip.
The ferrite block ensures that the power supply system meets radiated
emission requirement 89/336/EEC for CE mark approval. See the power
supply's operating manual for noise specifications.

Introduction
This section covers Ethernet/RS-232 Interface programming, including
an extensive set of device-dependent commands, error codes, and status
and fault register information.

Operation
RS-232 Operation
When the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card is configured for RS-232 you
can send and receive data between your power supply and computer,
relying on bit serial communication. You can use the computer controller
to issue commands to the power supply for programming, queries,
calibration, or status. The power supply responds to the complete
command set of device dependent software commands shown in
“Command Reference” on page 3–9.
Ethernet Operation
When the card is configured for Ethernet, you can send and receive data
between you power supply and computer via your network. The same
command set is used for RS-232 and Ethernet. The only difference is
medium and protocol used.
Command Syntax
Manual Conventions
The manual uses these conventions when displaying command
information. These characters are not part of the command but are used to
denote parameters used with the command.
< > (angle brackets)
Angle brackets enclose a parameter. Do not include
the angle brackets in the command line you send to
the computer.
/ (slash)
Separates two alternative parameters. When a slash
separates two parameters, you can use either
parameter to achieve the same result.
Example: <1/ON>
Entering 1 or ON will achieve the same result.

Command Syntax
Command Format and Parameters
The device-dependent language for the Ethernet/RS-232 Interface
consists of commands and parameters. A command is a one word code
which either gives instructions to the interface or asks for information
from the interface. A command may be followed by one or more
parameters, a short code that changes the state of the power supply or the
state of the bit register. Table 3-1, “Command Parameters” on page 3–4
lists the parameters that affect the command set.
Format:
COMMAND or
COMMAND <parameter> or
COMMAND <parameter>,<parameter>
•
•
You can enter commands in upper or lower case lettering.
Example: MASK FOLD = mask fold
Do not further abbreviate command names or parameters.
Example: MASK FOLD ≠ MK FOLD
MASK FOLD ≠ MASK FD
•
Use a space between the command and the first parameter. Any
number of consecutive spaces is treated as one space. Numeric data
may contain leading spaces. Embedded spaces between digits or
between a digit and a decimal point are not accepted.
Example: MASK FOLD = MASK
VOUT 3.4 = VOUT
FOLD
3.4
4
VOUT 3.4 ≠ VOUT 3.
•
Use commas between parameters in those commands with more than
one parameter, and between mnemonic parameters as in the MASK
and UNMASK commands. Only one comma is allowed and it may be
preceded or followed by any number of spaces.
Example: MASK CV, OV, FOLD

Command Syntax
Command Strings
If you send more than one command line, separate the commands with a
semicolon. The semicolon may be preceded or followed by spaces.
Example:
ISET 2.0A; VSET 5V
ISET 2.0A; VSET 5V
Command Terminators
Terminators indicate the end of a command string and tell the power
supply to execute the command. The termination character is CR
(Carriage Return).
Format:
COMMAND <parameter>; COMMAND <parameter>,
<parameter><CR>
Order
You may send commands in any order, keeping in mind that only those
commands received after a HOLD and before a TRG (trigger) will be
released by the TRG command. In addition, only these commands
received after a supply disable (OVP or foldback protection) and before a
RST (reset) or OUT ON command will be released by the RST command
or the OUT command. Commands are executed in the order they are
received.

Command Reference
Table 3-7 Command Reference
ASTS?
Asks for the supply’s accumulated status register. The accumulated status register
stores any bit that was entered in the status register since the accumulated status
query command (ASTS?) was last used, regardless of whether the condition still
exists. The accumulated status register has the same bits, weights, and conditions
as the status register. A bit in the accumulated status register will be set at 1 if the
corresponding bit in the status register has been 1 (TRUE) at any time since the
register was last read. See “Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on
page 3–17. The ASTS? query clears the status register.
Response: ASTS <status mask> where status mask is the decimal equivalent of the
total bit weights for the operating conditions as listed in the status register.
AUXA <1/ON>, Controls the AUXA output signal level at rear panel connector Pin 7. Active low.
<0/OFF>
Initial value: AUXA 0
AUXA?
Asks for the present set value of the AUXA output signal.

Operation
Table 3-7 Command Reference
DLY <seconds> Sets a programmable time delay employed by the supply before reporting fault
conditions. The power supply uses the time delay after receiving a new output
voltage or current setting via VSET or ISET, or after receiving RST, TRG, or OUT
ON commands. During the time delay, the power supply disables CV, CC, and
FOLD conditions from generating faults, preventing possible nuisance foldback if
the supply momentarily switches modes while changing an output setting.
Range: 0 to 32 seconds, with 32ms resolution
Initial value: 0.5 second
DLY?
ERR?
Asks for the setting of the programmable time delay before the supply reports fault
conditions.
Response: DLY <seconds>
Asks for the most recent remote programming error. When the power supply
detects a programming error, it lights the ERR LED and sets the ERR bit in the
accumulated status and fault registers. If the error bit has been masked using the
MASK command, then the ERR bit in the registers will not set. Once an error is
detected, the remaining portion of the command line is discarded. An error query
clears the ERR bit in the accumulated status register. See “Error Codes” on page 3–
19.
Response: ERR <error number> Example: ERR 0 (if no error)
FAULT?
Asks for the state of the fault register. A bit is set in the fault register when a fault
arises for that condition. Lists the conditions which activate a fault bit. You can use
the MASK command to disable bits from being set in the fault register.
When a bit is set in the fault register it also asserts a signal on the Pin 4 user signal
line. You can tie the Pin 4 fault line signal to the power supply's own External
Shutdown user line, Pin 1, so that the shutdown signal goes low (active) in the case
of a user-defined fault.
The FAULT? query clears bits in the supply's fault register and fault line.
Response: FAULT <fault mask> where fault mask is the decimal equivalent of the
total bit weights for the operating conditions as listed in the fault register. See
“Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers” on page 3–17.
FOLD
Sets foldback mode for the supply. Foldback protection disables the power supply
<2/CC>, <1/CV>, output when the output enters the fold condition. Reset with the RST command.
<0/OFF>
Example: Specify FOLD 1 or FOLD CV (Constant Voltage) when you want the
supply to operate in Constant Current mode and have foldback protection disable
the output if the supply switches to Constant Voltage mode.
Initial value: FOLD 0/OFF

GTL
Go to local. Returns the power supply to local control. See LLO (Local Lockout).
See also“Remote/Local Operation” on page 2–20.
HOLD <1/ON>, Enables or disables voltage/current setting hold mode for the supply. When
<0/OFF>
HOLD ON is specified, hold mode is enabled so that all voltage and current
settings which would normally be implemented by the supply are held until a TRG
(trigger) command is received. This feature allows you to synchronize the
operation of several supplies.
Initial value: HOLD OFF or HOLD 0
HOLD?
ID?
Asks for the present hold mode setting.
Response: HOLD 0 (OFF or disabled) or HOLD 1 (ON or enabled)
Asks for the power supply model and the master EPROM version.
Response: ID <model name><version>
IDATA
<Ilo>,<Ihi>
Calculates and records the slope and offset for programmed current using ILO and
IHI data. Set CMODE ON before using this command. See also the calibration
procedures in Chapter 4.
<Ilo> and <Ihi> are in <current> format.
IHI
In response to this command, the power supply sends a programmed current value
to the output terminal. This value is at the high end of the power supply’s current
range and is read by an external device connected as part of the calibration
procedure. Refer to this value as IHI and record it to use as input with the IDATA
command. Set CMODE ON before using this command. See also the calibration
procedures in Chapter 4.
ILO
In response to this command, the power supply sends a programmed current value
to the output terminal. This value is at the low end of the power supply’s current
range and is read by an external device connected as part of the calibration
procedure. Refer to this value as ILO and record it to use as input with the IDATA
command. Set CMODE ON before using this command. See also the calibration
procedures in Chapter 4 .

Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers
Accumulated Status, Status, and Fault Registers
The Ethernet/RS-232 Interface card uses three separate registers which
are always active. They are the accumulated status, status, and fault
registers. You can use the status commands shown in Table 3-6, “Status
Commands” on page 3–8 to activate the registers. The bit register has
twelve conditions, each assigned a bit weight. When querying a register,
the controller returns a response which is the sum of the weights of all
relevant conditions.
Example:
ASTS?
Query the Accumulated Status register.
Controller response.
ASTS 771
771 = 512 + 256 + 2 + 1 = PON + REM + CC + CV
The accumulated status register shows that PON, REM, CC and CV have
all been active since the last accumulated status register query.
Table 3-8 shows the mnemonics and bit weights which correspond to each
register condition. You can select conditions you want to monitor in the
fault and status register by using the MASK and UNMASK commands.

WARNING
Exercise caution when using and servicing power supplies.
High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals
on all power supplies in normal operation. In addition,
potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and the
output connector of power supplies which are rated at 40V and
over. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for
some time after power is removed.
Diagnostic LEDs
This section describes the diagnostic LEDs found on the Ethernet/RS-232
Interface.
Computer Operating Properly (COP) LEDs
The Ethernet/RS-232 Interface provides three diagnostic LEDs, located at
CR167, CR166, and CR89 on its PCB. Refer to Figure 2-3, “Ethernet/RS-
232 Interface PCB” on page 2–6, for their locations. At present, these
LEDs turn on to signal COP events for the interface's microprocessors.
Issue a RST (reset) command to turn off the diagnostic LEDs.
The green COP LED at circuit designation CR167 indicates that the
Ethernet/RS-232 Interface microprocessor successfully recovered from a
timeout error due to a communications bus error. The event is transparent
to the RS-232 communications line which continues to function normally.
The red COP LED at CR166 indicates that a transparent restart caused by
noise in the master processor circuitry has occurred.
The red COP LED at CR89 indicates that a transparent restart caused by
noise in the slave processor circuitry has occurred.

Introduction
WARNING
Exercise caution when using and servicing power supplies.
High energy levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals
on all power supplies in normal operation. In addition,
potentially lethal voltages exist in the power circuit and the
output connector of power supplies which are rated at 40V and
over. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for
some time after power is removed.
You can calibrate the interface in either Ethernet or RS-232 mode by
adjusting the signal levels on the interface card so that they correspond
to the expected signal levels on the power supply's main assembly. You
may need to recalibrate the interface if you replace parts either on the
interface board or on the main power supply board, or if the unit falls
out of specification due to component aging drifts.

Connecting a digital voltmeter as in “Voltage Calibration Setup” is
optional.
1. Disconnect all loads from the power supply.
2. Ensure that jumper J65 on the interface PCB is CLOSED to enable
remote OVP calibration (Jumper J65 is closed at the factory). See
Figure 2-3, “Ethernet/RS-232 Interface PCB” on page 2–6 for the
location on the PCB of jumper J65.
3. Activate calibration mode by sending command CMODE ON or
CMODE 1 to the power supply.
4. Send the command OVCAL to the power supply. The ADDR LED
will light during OVP calibration. Calibration is complete when the
ADDR LED turns off. This may take a few minutes.
5. Use the OVSET, OVSET?, and VSET commands to trip the OVP
level, confirming that the calibration was successful. When you trip
the OVP level, the red OVP LED will light and the voltage will drop
to zero. Send the command RST to clear the OVP condition. Refer to
the OVP program accuracy specification in Appendix A.
6. Turn off calibration mode by sending the command CMODE OFF or
CMODE 0 to the power supply.
