Ultra Slim Sophisticated Benchtop Power Supply

R4K-80 series is a high-performance programmable DC power supply. The 4-digit digital meter and high-resolution D/A, and A/D converters are added newly for more precise settings and reading. Needless to say, the innovative compact size, variable range feature, and high operability are remaining the same as the conventional RK-80 series.

The series is the best DC power supply for a variety of applications from laboratory experiments to automated line productions.

Features and Benefits

  • Compact and light-weight space-saving design
  • Very quiet due to the adopting naturally-cooled system without a cooling fan
  • Wide output range
    R4K-80L:16 V/10 A, R4K-80: 36 V/5 A , R4K-80M: 110 V/1.3 A, R4K-80H: 320 V/0.5 A
  • Unique low noise power conversion technology for research application
  • Power factor correction and universal input
  • Multiple units operation with master/slave and digital interface

Useful New Five Additional Functions

  • 4-digit digital meter (output voltage and current)

  • High-resolution D/A, A/D converter integrated
    As one click of the rotary encoder is one count, the fine setting is possible.

  • Digital interface as standard function
    Digital interface shall make data logging and automatic measurement easier.
    * Conversion adapters suitable for RS-232C, RS-485 or GPIB is separately required.

  • Various waveforms with pulse and ramp sequence function at will
    With pulse/ramp sequence function (optional), various test patterns can be set without a computer.

  • Output voltage and output current can be set speedily.
    When setting output voltage and output current by the rotary encoder on the front panel, every time a fine switch is pressed, the setting digit on the digital display will be switched. In the case, of setting a small output value or changing the setting value widely, the setting can be done speedily. (Fine switch cannot be used when output value is set by remotely.)

Sink Current Suppression

When supplying power to loads with capacities like batteries and capacitors, the sink current suppression is used to reduce the reverse current flowing from the load to the unit in order to prevent a voltage drop on the load as the output is OFF or the set voltage is lowered.

Note:
Reverse current cannot be controlled and stabilized. Connect a dummy resistor or reverse current prevention diode when the load of the reverse voltage is equal to or higher than the rated voltage (inductive loads, regenerative motors, etc.)
Prevention of reverse current

Delay Trigger Function

Only one R4K-80 is available when -LUs1, -LGob, or -LEt option is selected.

When turning OUTPUT ON/OFF, you can start or stop the output operation with some delay. The function is available not only for a single power supply but also for multiple units of Matsusada Precision DC power supplies in the digital interface *1 which are individually set values of output voltage/current in addition to a single power supply. *2

  1. R4K-36 series, RK-80 series, RK series, and REK series
    For details, contact our sales office. They can be connected to up to 16 units.
  2. Can be connected to up to 16 units.
  3. Only for slave-local
    In the case of the slave remote control, exact same model of power supply needs to be used. Also, in the case of slave-local, each output voltage and current can be set individually. In the case of slave-remote, output voltage, and current can be set with a one-control function in which each slave unit follows the master unit setting.
Delay Trigger Function

* +1 and +8 can be set respectively in 0.0 s to 99.9 s.

Two-level Lock Function

Two-level lock is selectable: "Full Lock" for locking all the switch operations and "Standard lock" for locking except for the output ON/OFF.
"Full lock" is used to prevent all erroneous operations, and "Standard lock" is for readily applying the emergency
stop along with misoperation prevention, which can ensure a "safe" operation.
(Emergency stop by the power switch is available in both two lockings. )

Full LOCK

Locks all the switch operations except canceling the lock function.
It is especially suited to prevent misoperations in the remote control.

Full LOCK function image

Standard LOCK

Locks the voltage/current setting switches.
It can prevent mistakenly changing the output setting in local control and immediately applying an emergency stop.

* +S is common. So external control voltage shall be input with +S as reference. Otherwise, it can cause failure.

Remote sensing

Remote sensing

The function ensures the prevention of stability deterioration which could be caused by the voltage drop (V0-VL) due to the resistance (R) of the output wire or contact resistance.

Digital Interface (sold separately)

Dual Tracking, Multiple Outputs

Dual tracking control enables both positive and negative outputs simultaneously in master/slave control. In addition, using the slave local mode, the dual tracking operation can consist of multiple outputs. The positive and negative output voltages (+V and -V) in dual output will output in synchronization with turning on the power of the master machine.
* The function is unavailable for -LUs1 and -LEt options.

Example of Connection and Operation

Using the same multiple units of the R4K-80 series, the output voltage and output current can be increased by connecting the outputs in series or parallel.
Local control or digital master/slave control is recommended for control.
The external output ON/OFF terminal LS- is connected to the + output, so do not connect it to the commons of other power supplies.

Series operation

The total output voltage is up to 250 V. The output voltage exceeding 250 V is unavailable in a series connection. The output current will be the smallest value.

Series operation

Parallel operation

Use the same value for voltage setting in parallel connection. The output current is the sum of each current. In order to prevent damage, set the OVP level of all the power supplies to the maximum.

Parallel operation

Split operation

+output and -output are available.

Two Features in -LDe Option

(1) Function for Pulse/Ramp and Master Follow

A. Pulse

Sequential operation is possible by using voltage and current set on each memory a, b, and c in combination with a multi-set function. Not only continuous operation, but also it is possible to specify the times. It is best to fit evaluation tests for products as various operations, like a repeat of a and b only or a repeat of b, c, and off only, are enabled by setting the time of memory a, b, c, and off to 0.0.

A. PULSE SEQUENCE | R4K-80 series | DC power supply Benchtop | Matsusada Precision

ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set to 0.0 s, 1.0 s to 99.9 h, respectively

B. Ramp

It enables to make ramp action up to the set voltage or current (or from the set voltage or current to 0 V or 0 A). It is useful to like to increase/decrease voltage or current slowly.

* As for ramp operation, you can select “Both of set voltage and current", “Voltage setting only”, or “current setting only”.

B. RAMP SEQUENCE | R4K-80 series | DC power supply Benchtop | Matsusada Precision

t1 and t2 can be set to 0 to 999 s, respectively

C. Pulse + Ramp

It is also possible to use pulse combined with ramp action. If the multi-set function is combined with the too, it is able to make pulse action by using voltage or current set on memory a, b, and c. Not only continuous operation, but also it is possible to specify the times. It is useful in various aspects as it is possible to increase/decrease voltage or current slowly up to 3 set values.

C. COMBINATION of PULSE and RAMP SEQUENCE | R4K-80 series | DC power supply Benchtop | Matsusada Precision

Range of 0 to 999 s for t1 to t4 and range of 0.0 s,
1.0 s to 99.9 h for ta to tc and toff can be set respectively.

D. Master Follow

Pulse sequence actions at master-slave and output signal to slave units at ramp action are transmitted. By this function, it is possible to make slave units to output on different output conditions from the master unit.

* The master follow function is only available with the standard interface.

D. MASTER FOLLOW | R4K-80 series | DC power supply Benchtop | Matsusada Precision
Note; Accuracy of the timer at sequence action ±0.5%. Please take care usage at long-running.

(2) Sweep Control Programming

Easy programming of sweep operation!

With the -LDe option, the available sweep commands are adapted by setting the arrival time and arrival conditions (voltage/current). Since there is no need to set commands that are repeated step by step, it is easier to create new programs and change conditions, saving a great deal of operation time. It also contributes to securing time for development, research, etc.

Example of usage that sweeps from constant value to undo it after attainment
