Functions
Multi Setting Function
Memorize three voltage and current settings in addition to the standard preset values.
There is no need to adjust the output when different setting, and convenient function for production inspection process or testing which require frequent data taking.
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 load of the reverse voltage is equal to or higher than the rated voltage (inductive loads, regenerative motors, etc.)
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 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
- R4K-36 series, RK-80 series, RK series and REK series
For details, contact our sales office. They can be connected up to 16 units. - Can be connected up to 16 units.
- Only for slave-local
In case of slave remote control, exact same model of power supply need to be used. Also, in case of slave-local, each output voltage and current can be set individually. In case of slave-remote, output voltage and current can be set with 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 Mode Lock Function
Two modes can be selected; "Full Lock" which locks all front panel operations, "Standard Lock" which locks all operation except for OUTPUT ON/OFF.
"Full Lock" mode shall be good in case mis-operation have to be completely avoided, and "Standard Lock" mode shall be good in case to avoid mis-operation but secure the way for emergency stop of 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 function other than reset lock mode, and effective for purpose to avoid mis-operation when controlled.
Standard LOCK
Lock voltage and current setting dial, and effective for purpose to avoid changing output setting by mistake or when easy emergency stop is required.
Remote Function
Remote switch ON/OFF
| Output | Relay | Open collector |
|---|---|---|
| ON | SHORT | VCE ≤ 0.4 V |
| OFF | OPEN | VCE ≥ 2 V |
Sink current 1 mA
* +S is common. So external control voltage shall be input with +S as reference. Otherwise it can cause failure.
Remote sensing
The function ensures the prevention of stability deterioration which could be caused by the voltage drop (V0-VL) due to resistance (R) of the output wire or contact resistance.
Digital Interface
Enables digital control of USB/RS-232C/RS485/GPIB and one-control on master/slave operation.

- A two-meter cable is provided in each model without interface options. If you need a longer cable, please consult with our sales staff.
This is not a function for parallelly connected power supplies to give out average output current.
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.

Specifications
Options
-LDe: Pulse Ramp Sequence
Below output control, between A to D are available.
A. PULSE SEQUENCE
Sequential operation is possible by using voltage and current set on each memory a, b and c in combination with multi-set function. Not only continuous operation, but also it is possible to specify the times. It is suitable to evaluation tests for products as various operations, like as repeat of a and b only or 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 with range 0.0 s, 1.0 s to 99.9 h respectively.
B. RAMP SEQUENCE
It enables to make ramp action up to set voltage or current (or from the set voltage or current to 0 V or 0 A). It is useful to like to rise (reduce) voltage or current slowly. It helps sensitive electrical load not to get damaged by overshoot.
* For ramp action, it is possible to select "both of set voltage and current", "only set voltage", or "only set current".
t1 and t2 can be set with range 0 s to 999 s respectively.
C. COMBINATION of PULSE and RAMPSEQUENCE
It is also possible to use pulse sequence combined with ramp action. If multi-set function is combined with the too, it is able to make sequence 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 rise (reduce) voltage or current slowly up to three set value.
t1, t2, t3 and t4 can be set with range 0 s to 999 s respectively.
ta, tb, tc and toff can be set with range 0.0 s, 1.0 s to 99.9 h 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 condition from the master unit.
* The master follow function is unavailable with -LEt or -LUs1 option.
Note: The operation accuracy of the timer when sequensing is ±0.5%. Be careful when you use it by the long-term running operation.

Operation example
R4K-80 series, the output voltage and the output current can be increased by connecting the same models in series or parallel operation. As to the control, the use of local control or digital master/slave control is recommended.
External I/O control connector (LS- in the remote switch and GND in the remote multifunction) is connected to +output, so do not share the other commons.
