Models
Functions
Multi-Set Memories
Store and recall up to three voltage and current presets in addition to standard settings. This function eliminates the need for repetitive manual adjustments, significantly improving efficiency for recurring test patterns or production line inspections.
Backflow Current Prevention
An integrated diode prevents reverse current from flowing from the load back into the power supply. This protection is essential when testing batteries, capacitors, or other capacitive loads that may retain a charge.
Note: This feature prevents backflow but does not stabilize or control reverse current. For inductive loads (e.g., regenerative motors) where reverse voltage may exceed the rated voltage, an external dummy resistor or reverse current protection diode is required.
2-Mode Lock
Two modes can be set: "Full LOCK" to lock all front panel operations, and "Normal LOCK" allows operation of the Output ON/OFF button while locking other settings. Set to "Full LOCK" mode if you want to prevent accidental operation without fail, or set to "Normal LOCK" mode if you want to prevent accidental operation but stop output locally.
* Emergency stop is possible in either mode with the power switch.
Analog Remote Control (The following master-slave control does not support this analog remote control.)
Voltage and Current Control
Output voltage and current can be set by an external control voltage (Vcon: 0 to 10 Vdc, Icon: 0 to 10 Vdc) or a potentiometer.
* -S is common. External control voltage must be referenced to -S to prevent malfunction.
| Vout/Iout | Vcon/Icon | Resistor |
|---|---|---|
| 0 to MAX | 0 to approx. 10Vdc | 0 to approx. 10kΩ |
*Common is almost at the same potential as -S. External control voltage should be input with reference to -S. Grounding common may cause failure or malfunction.
Remote output ON/OFF control
Output ON/OFF can be controlled by relay and TTL.
| Output | Relay | TTL |
|---|---|---|
| ON | Short | LOW |
| OFF | Open | HIGH |
Sink current 1mA
*LS- is almost at the same potential as common and -S. Input the control voltage with respect to -S. Grounding common may cause failure or malfunction.Remote sensing
Compensates for voltage drop (Vo-VL) due to output line resistance up to 3.7V*.
Master-Slave Control (Requires -LGmb or -LGob option)
Enables synchronized control where a designated master unit manages the output settings of connected slave units. This simplifies operation for higher power requirements.
* Individual slave settings are possible in "Slave Local Mode."* When connected in parallel to a single load, current sharing may not be perfectly equal.
* The -LGob (optical) option is recommended for electrically noisy environments.
Please contact us for master-slave configurations involving different models.
Delay Trigger (Requires -LGmb or -LGob option; multiple units can be configured)
The delay trigger function can delay start/stop output from the OUTPUT ON/OFF timing.
*Setting values for each power supply can also be set individually (slave local mode). It works with the R4K-36 series, R4K-80 series, RK-80 series, RK series, TB series, RKT series, REKJ/REK series, and PVCEJ/PVCE series. Detailed individual datasheets are available for each product, so please contact our sales representatives.
Dual Tracking and Multiple Outputs (available only when -LGmb or -LGob option is selected)
Dual tracking control is possible by connecting the power supplies as positive and negative outputs at the time of master-slave operation to control both positive and negative outputs at the same time.
In addition, the slave local mode, in which each power supply is set individually, and dual tracking operation can be combined to create a multi-output configuration.

- ON/OFF setting of Output
- Various status displays (output status, operating status, OVP, OCP, OTP, ACF, sense reverse connection, external output ON/OFF)

Pulse/Ramp Sequence and Master Follow Function (only with additional -LDe option)
Enhanced Pulse/Ramp Sequence Function
The P4KF-80 series features a significantly upgraded sequence function. Unlike previous models, the time duration for each step (a, b, and c) can be set individually, allowing for more complex and precise test patterns without an external PC.
The power supply alone can control the following output patterns/sequences (A to D).
- Controllable time and frequency
-
[Valid minimum setting time unit] 1 second (Less than 1 second is ignored)
[Maximum setting time] 999 hours, 59 minutes, 59.9 seconds
[Maximum repetition] 9999
A. Pulse Sequence
This function allows you to set up a sequence with the voltage and current values set by the memory function of the power supply. It can be used without a PC or other control device.
Sequence operation combined with a multi-set function is also possible.
B. Ramp
This function allows the user to set the rise time and fall time to a set voltage/current value. Voltage only, current only, or both voltage and current values can be set.
C. Pulse Sequence with Ramp
This function can be used in combination with the pulse sequence function. Sequence operation combined with a multi-set function is also possible.
D. Master Follow
(This operation requires a master-slave connection with the -Lde option and the -LGmb or -LGob option.)
This function allows the master and slave units to output different voltage and current values by sending output signals to the slave unit during pulse sequence operation and ramp-rate control at the time of master-slave operation.
Note: The accuracy of timer operation for sequence is ±0.5%. Please use caution when using the product in long-term running operations.
