Benchtop DC Power Supplies R4K-36 series

1. The ripple applies from 10% to 100% of the rated output.
2. The minimum setting unit of the instrument panel. With the remote control, more detailed settings are available. Go to "Various Digital Control Functions".
3. -L(230V) option

Multi Setting Function

Function to memorize three different voltage and current settings in addition to standard preset function. There is no need to adjust the output when different settings and convenient functions for the production inspection process or testing require frequent data sampling.

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

IReverse 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.)

Delay Trigger Function

Function to delay the OUTPUT ON/OFF time. It is possible to use in case a single unit of R4K-36 series is used, and also when connecting several Matsusada Precision power supplies using master/slave connection terminal and output voltage/output current are set individually, delay trigger function can be used.

(When -LUs1 or -LRmf option is selected, only one unit of R4K-36 series can be used.)

Two Mode Lock Function

Function to select two different lock functions for two different purposes. "Full Lock" locks all the function on front panel, and "Normal Lock" locks all the function except for ON/OFF. "Full Lock" mode shall be good in case misoperation has to be completely avoided, and "Normal Lock" mode shall be good in case to avoid misoperation but secure the way for emergency stop of the power supply. You can select the best mode according to your level of "Security".
(In both modes, emergency stop is possible with Power Switch.)

Full LOCK

Lock all the functions other than reset lock mode, and effective for the purpose to avoid misoperation when controlled.

Normal LOCK

Lock voltage and current setting dial, and effective for the purpose of avoiding changing output setting by mistake or when an easy emergency stop is required.

Remote Control Functions

External output ON/OFF

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

Remote sensing

Compensate the voltage drop (V₀-V_L) due to resistance of output lead or drop of stability by contact resistance.
(maximum 0.5 V)

Digital interface

Enable digit control via LAN/USB/RS-232C/RS-485/GPIB as well as one control with Master/Slave.

Dual Tracking, Multiple Outputs

Dual tracking control enables both positive and negative outputs simultaneously in master/slave operation.

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 for connection details.

Dual Tracking

Multiple Outputs

Example of Connection and Operation

Using the same multiple units of the R4K-36 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 connection

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.

Parallel connection

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.

Split connection

Positive and negative outputs are available, respectively.

Two Features in -LDe Option

Pulse/Ramp sequence, Master follow function

Using a single power supply unit, the following functions in output control A to D are available.

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 fit to evaluation tests for products as various operations, like as repeat of a and b only or a repeat of b, c and off only, are enabled by setting time of memory a, b, c and off to 0.0.

ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set respectively with the range of 0.0 seconds, 1.0 seconds to 99.9 hours.

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".

t1 and t2 can be set range of 0.0 seconds to 999 seconds.

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.

t1 to t4 can be set range of 0 to 999 seconds.
ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set range of 0.0 seconds to 99.9 hours.

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.

Note: The operation accuracy of the timer when sequencing is 0.5%. Be careful when you use it by the long-term running operation.

Sweep control programmng

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.
