Service Manual
Service work should onLy be carried out by skilled engineers. Please note
that the tracks on the printed circuit board are very flne and may lift if
subjected to excessj-ve heat. Use only a miniature Lemperature controLled
soldering iron and remove all solder with sol-der wick or suction before
attempting to remove a component.
I{ARI{ITIG !
Openlng the instrument is likely to expose live parts. The instrumenl shal-1
be disconnected from alI voltage sources before any adjustment, replacement or
maintenance and repalr during which it shal-l be opened. If afterwards any
adjustment, maintenance or repair of Lhe opened instrument under volLage is
inevitable, it shall be carried out only by a skllled person who is aware of
the hazards invol-ved.

The relati-onship between the major circuit elements are showa in the block
diagram opposite.
The pass transistors are mounted on heatsinks at the rean of the instrunenL.
They are controlled by the emor anplifiens via the diode gate.
The diode gate provides automatic cnoss over of consbant voltage and consfant
current.
In the constant voltage node the error voltage amplifier mainbains the
constant output voltage, set by the coarse and fine controls, independent of
load; the voltage is sensed across the output terminals.
In the constant current mode, or when the presef current linit is neached, the
eurrent error arnplifier overrides the voltage error amplifier via the diode
gate and mainlains constant output cunrenf independent of load resistance; the
current is sensed across R27.
The output voltage is displayed by the digital voltmeter. This block also
incorporates the autorange circuitry and decinal point drive.
The digibal current meter block also incorporates the autonange circuitny, -
drive cincultry for the constant current annunicator and control logic which
allows the set current limit to be displayed.
The powen supply provides high voltage and power for the output (V2) and a
split low voltage supply for the control circuitry ( V 1) .

If a change is made, bhe operating voltage label and fuse shoul-d be changed.
If a change is made, the operati.ng volEage label and fuse should be changed.
The correct fuse type is: -
Plns 22 and 23 on the mains transformer of the 30V 2A supplies provide 34Vrms
of f load and this is recEif i.ed by the bridge rectif j.er Dl. to D4,' C1 is the
reservoir capacitor. The off load voltage across C1 is approximately 45V.
Pins 22 and 23 on the mains transformer of the 15V 4A supplies provide l9Vrms
off load and this is rectified by the bridge rect.ifier BRI-; C1 and C25 are the
reservoir capacitors. The off load voltage across CL/C26 is approximately
26V.
R14 discharges the reservoir capacitors when the unit is turned off with no
load connected; C5 and R1 form a damping network. The voltage across the
reservoir capacitors supplies the pass transistors.
Regulators ICl.0 and IC11 with diodes D22 and D23 provide regulated +/-5Y6
supplies for the error amplif iers and di.gital met.eri.ng.

Diode Gate
If the preset curnent limit is reached, IC4b overrides fhe voltage error
anplifier via Lhe diode gate. Output current is sensed by measuring the volt
drop across R27 and bhis is compared to the volLage on bhe wipen of VR3 by
IC4b. D17 linits t h e o u t p u t s w i n g o f I C 4 b b e l o w 0 V . V R 8 s e t s m a x i m u mo u t p u t
current and VR12 trims the offseb of IC4b so thaf fhe set current limit and
the output cunrent linit are equal. This is done at low output cunrent levels
(100nDA). D25 is a 2.45V volfage reference which is also used by the current
meter.
Output Sritch
SW2aswitches the +V sense connection between the supply output and the sense
terminal ibself. Thls is fo overcone SW2bts contacb neslstance with bhe
oubput on and to malntaln feedback when the oufput is off. D15 prevents fhe
feedback loop from going complebely open between switch positions.
S W 2 bs w i t c h e s t h e s u p p l y o u t p u t f o t h e o u t p u f t e n m i n a l . Whenthe oufput
switch is in the ofl posifion, rAr is connected fo 0V which signals the
cument meter to display the set curent limi-t.
Xote: SW2 contacts are gold plated on silven and the correct replacemenf type
must be used. Note also that if SW2 is disconnecfed it nust be rewired fhe
sane way round. This is because SW2amust have gold contacLs while the gold
on SW2b conbacts will have been vapourised due to the high switching current
and will have normal silver contacts as a result.
Voltneter
ICl is a standard 3.5 digib panel meter IC. This is a dual slope A to D
complete with display drivers, R57 and C14 define the clock frequency of
approximately 40kHz which, if necessary, can be checked using a x10
oscilloscope probe on pin J8. R56 and C12 are the integrator componentsand
C11 the auto zero capacitor. C13 is the reference capacitor and R58, R59 and
C15 are input filter c o m p o n e n Ls.
R16 and R17 attenuate the output voJ-tage to suit IC1. The volfmeter auto-
ranges on the 30V 2A supplies between the high and Iow nanges by IC3b
switching fhe meten reference. The outpuf of the comparafon IC3b is high when
'l
the output is below 9V and low when the output voltage is above 19V. The
switching point is adjusted by VR4; R5 provides positive feedback whlch gives
approxinately +/-0.5Y of hysteresis at the output terminals. Q1 inverts
ICl5ts output, providing complementary conLrol signals. These drive the
analogue switches in IC8 selecting the two refenences for the high and low
ranges. They also select the decimal point via IC9. The decimal point is off
when in-phase with bhe back-plane signal, and on when in anfi-phase. VR7
trins the voltmeter on the low range and VR6 trims the high range.
Curent lleter
IC2 is the same type as fhat used in the volLmeter. The control slgnal rAl
fron the output switch drives Q10 and IC5b which provides complemenLary drive
signals to ICTa and b. With the output switch on, ICTa eonnects the neter to
R27 to measure output current.
10
With the output switch off, ICTb conneets the meter to VR3 to display the
currenb tinib setfing.
The currenf meter autonanges on the 15V 4A supplies; VR9 sets the change over
poinb and IC4a selects the appropriate neter referenee. The output of
conparator IC4a is high when the current reading is below 1.9A and 1ow when
the current reading is above 1.9A. R41 provides positive feedback and sone
hysberesis.
l{hen current limit is reached, IC4b takes controL via the diode gate; a9 is
turned on which enables low frequency osci-llaton IC5c and d which flashes the
triangle in the display. Note that the ground lead of IC5 ig connected to the
-V1 supply whilst fhe g r ound lead of IC6 is connected bo DGI, whlch is
generabed by IC2 for the LCD and is between 4 and 6 volts wibh nespecb bo +V1.
Level shifting is provided by R54 and R63.

Shut down of fhe regulator occurs if the outpuf voltage falls by 100mV,
determined by R13 and R14. Q4 is turned off allowing C6 Lo charge up via R34
turning on the transistor connected to pin 10 of IC'1. This Lurns the
regulator off and the vollage on pin 5 of IC6B fal1s further and results in
the power supply being latched off. Recovery is achieved by Lurning the mains
supply off for sufficj-ent time for C6 to discharge (approximately 20 seconds).

Metering
IC2 i-s a standard DVMIC and is the same type as used in other sections of the
power supply.
With the output switch off, 03 is off turning IC4A off and IC4B on via
inverter IC4D, so that the meter reads output volfage.
With the output switch on, IC4B is Lurned off and IC4A is tunned on, so fhat
the meter reads output current by measuring the voltage across R7.
VR3 calibrates t h e m e L e r f o r c u r r e n t m e a s u r e m e n tI i t i s a l s o t h e m e t e n

Removethe 4A load and connect a voltmefer to the output. Note the reading on
the exfernal- mefer, switch the outpuf off and adjust VR2 so that the meter
reads the same. Switch the output on and off to check the reading on each
