RK-80 series is a high-performance programmable DC power supply. The 3-digit digital meter is added newly. Needless to say, the innovative compact size, variable range feature and high operability are realized. RK-80 series is the suitable DC power supply for a variety of applications from laboratory experiments to line productions.

Useful NEW 3 Additional Functions
Output voltage and output current can be set speedily. NEW
When setting output voltage and output current by the rotary encoder on the front panel, every time the fine switch is pressed, the setting digit on the digital display will be switched. In the case, 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.)
When an output is OFF, the preset value can be displayed automatically by operating the rotary encoder on the front panel.
Various protections such as overvoltage/overcurrent protection (OVP, OCP) are equipped as standard.
The ripple applies from 10% to 100% of the rated output.
The value at local control. The unit setting will be changed by moving the decimal point as some carry occurs. (The decimal point of the voltage/current in RK-80L or of the voltage in RK-80M will be carried.)
Maximum output @115 Vac input
Functions
Three Position Preset Memory Function
Memorize three voltage and current settings in addition to the standard preset values.
There is no need to adjust the output when different settings, and convenient function for the production inspection process or testing which requires frequent data taking.

Delay Trigger Function
(Only one RK-80 is available when -LUs1, -LGob, or -LRmf 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
Master/slave is available only for the models with -LGmb option.
R4K-36 series, R4K-80 series, RK series and REK series For details, contact our sales office. They can be connected to up to 16 units.
Only for slave-local In the case of 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 which each slave unit follows the master unit setting.
* +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 the misoperation prevention, which can ensure "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.
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.
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 a load of the reverse voltage is equal to or higher than the rated voltage (inductive loads, regenerative motors, etc.)
Dual Tracking, Multiple Outputs
Dual tracking control which enables both positive and negative outputs simultaneously in master-slave operation is possible. Multi outputs and various versatile operations are also possible by combining the above dual tracking control and slave local mode. Positive and negative output (+V, -V) of dual tracking control and set output voltage of slave local mode can be output simultaneously by turning on the master unit. go to Operations as for connection details.

* Power supply is not included in the accessories.
RK-80 power supply of same model number can be connected in series or parallel to increase output voltage or current. In that case, local control or the control in the digital master/slave is recommended.
Because the common of the outside input/output control connector (TB1) is connected to the positive output, please do not connect common more than two.
Series operation
Total output voltage is to be up to 250 V. Therefore for models with output voltage of over 250 V, series operation cannot be conducted. Output current is to be the smallest current of those.
Parallel operation
Please keep all the settings of voltage the same. Output current will be the summation of each current. Please keep OVP level of power supply maximum to prevent any damage.
