Setting the output characteristic
For the standard output characteristic of the basic SITOP PSU8600 device, the output
voltage is controlled to obtain a constant value independent of the output current. If the "soft"
output characteristic is selected, then the output voltage slightly decreases as the output
current increases. This output response can be used so that when two basic units are
connected in parallel to increase the power rating, the basic units are more uniformly utilized.
The switchover is made at the DIP switch with the designation "SOC1"
⑨.
When delivered, DIP switch "SOC1" is in position "OFF" (standard output characteristic).
Selecting the standard output characteristic
Bring DIP switch "SOC1" into the "OFF" (left), to select the standard output characteristic for
the output.
Selecting the soft output characteristic
Bring DIP switch "SOC1" into the "ON" (right), to select the "soft" output characteristic for the output.
Note
When the "soft" output characteristic is selected, at the full, rated output current, the highest
output v
oltage can no longer be reached. With increasing output current, in the range from
no
-load operation to rated output current, the output voltage linearly decreases by a value of
approximately 1.2
V.
