2.3 Connecting the Power Cord

Precautions
To prevent electric shock and damage to the instrument, observe the following
precautions.

• Before connecting power cord, be sure to confirm that the power

voltage matches with the rated input voltage of the instrument.
• Before connecting power cord, be sure to switch off the instrument.
Verify that there is no dangerous voltage on the connection
terminals.
• To avoid fire or electric shock, make sure to use the power cord
supplied by ITECH.
• Be sure to connect the power cord to the AC distribution box with
protective grounding. Do not use terminal board without protective
grounding.
• Do not use an extended power cord without protective grounding,
otherwise the protection function will fail.
• Ensure that the power cord connection terminals are either insu-
lated or covered by the supplied protective cover so that no acci-
dental contact with lethal voltage can occur.
Safety agency requirements dictate that there must be a way to

physically disconnect the AC mains cable from the unit. A dis-
connect device, either a switch or circuit breaker must be pro-
vided in the final installation. The disconnect device must be
close to the equipment, be easily accessible, and be marked as
the disconnect device for this equipment.
Categories of Power Cords
• Standard three-phase power input cord

The standard power cord specifications for this series instruments are div-
ided into the following types according to different regions:
The yellow-green wire is grounding wire, which is connected to the PE termi-

nal of power input on the rear panel; the others are live wires, which are cor-
respondingly connected to the L1, L2 and L3 terminals of power input on the
rear panel of the instrument.

AC Power Input Level
This series 1U models support single-phase or three-phase AC input, and 2U

models support three-phase AC input. Please refer to the corresponding specifi-
cation for the voltage level range and frequency. In addition, the Output DC
power will be derated when the instrument is AC input at a low-grade voltage.
The derating formula is as follows.
• Single-phase utility, the Output DC power limit is, P = phase voltage * maxi-
mum input current * efficiency.
• Three-phase utility, the Output DC power limit is, P = line voltage * maximum
input current * efficiency * 1.732.
Connecting the Power Cord
Wiring Diagram:
• When the 1U and 2U models are connected to three-phase power, the wir-
ing diagram is shown below.
• When the 1U model is connected to single-phase power (L/N), the wiring di-
agram is shown below.

Operation procedures:
• For 1U/2U model, see the steps below to connect the power cable.
1. Confirm that the switch of the AC power distribution box is off.
2. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF position and verify that there
is no dangerous voltage on the connection terminals.
3. Remove the protective cover outside the AC input terminal on the rear
panel.
4. Connect one end of the power cable’s round terminal to the AC power in-
put terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.
a. You only need to connect the red/green/yellow (or brown/black/gray)

live wires to the terminals on the rear panel, which are not required to
correspond to L1, L2 and L3 terminals one by one.
b. The yellow-green wire is grounding wire, which is connected to the

protective grounding terminal (PE).
5. Mount the protective cover back to its original position.
6. Refer to the suggestion connection diagram, connect the other end of the
power cable to the required AC distribution box.
2.4 Connecting the Device Under Test (DUT)

This section describes how to connect the test cables between the instrument
and DUT.

Precautions
To prevent electric shock and damage to the instrument, observe the following
precautions.
• Before connecting test cables, be sure to switch off the instrument.

Power switch is in Off position, otherwise touching the output ter-
minals on the rear panel may result in personal injury or death due
to electric shock.
• To avoid electrical shock, before testing, please make sure the rat-
ing values of the testing cables, and do not measure the current
that higher than the rating value. All test cables shall be capable of
withstanding the maximum short circuit current of the instrument
without causing overheat.
• If several loads are provided, each pair of load wires shall safely
withstand the rated short circuit output current of the power supply
under full load.
• Do not short the battery when connecting or disconnecting the bat-
tery testing circuit. Short circuit may cause severe accident.
• Always use test cables provided by ITECH to connect the equip-
ment. If test cables from other factories are used, please confirm
the maximum current that the test cables can withstand.
• During wiring, check that the positive and negative poles of the test
cables are properly and tightly connected. Do not connect the posi-
tive pole and disconnect the negative pole.
• Ensure that the output terminals are either insulated or covered us-
ing the safety covers provided, so that no accidental contact with
lethal voltages can occur.
Specification for Test Cables
Test cables are not standard accessories for the instrument. Please select op-
tional red and black test cables for individual sales based on the maximum cur-
rent value. For specifications of test cables and maximum current values, refer
to A.1 Appendix→Specifications of Red and Black Test Lines.
Connecting the DUT (Local Measurement)
The instrument supports two kinds of wiring methods with the DUT: local meas-
urement and remote measurement (SENSE). The default test mode is local
measurement.
The connection diagram and steps of local measurement are as follows:

1. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF position and verify that there is
no dangerous voltage on the connection terminals.
2. Remove the output terminals cover of the power supply.
3. Loosen the screws of the output terminals and connect the red and black
test cables to the output terminals. Re-tighten the screws.
When maximum current that one test cable can withstand fails to meet the
rated current, use multiple pieces of red and black test cables. For example,
the maximum current is 1,200A, then 4 pieces of 360A red and black cables
are required.
4. Thread the red and black test cables through the output terminals cover of
the power supply and install the cover.
5. (Optional) According to the actual situation of DUT, connect the grounding
terminal on the rear panel of the instrument to the DUT to ensure the safe
grounding.
For the location information, see 1.5 Rear Panel Introduction.
6. Connect the other end of the red and black cables to the DUT. The positive
and negative poles must be properly connected and fastened when wiring.
Connecting the DUT (Remote Sensing)
Remote measurement is available for the following scenarios:
When the DUT consumes large current or the wires are too long, there is a volt-
age drop on the wires between DUT and output terminals of the power supply.
To maximize measurement accuracy, the power supply provides the remote
measurement terminals VS+ and VS- on the rear panel, which can be used to
measure the terminal voltage of the DUT.
When the power supply is used for battery testing in actual applications, the
voltage drop of the wire will lead to voltage inconsistency of both ends and in-
consistency of the cutoff voltage of power supply and the actual voltage of bat-
tery, resulting in inaccurate measurement.
The connection diagram and steps of remote measurement are as follows:

1. Confirm that the power switch is in the OFF position and verify that there is
no dangerous voltage on the connection terminals.
2. Refer to the wiring diagram and connect the Vs+ and Vs- with armored
twisted-pair cables.
To ensure the stability of the system, use armored twisted-pair cables be-
tween the remote sense terminals and the DUT. Pay attention to the posi-
tive and negative poles when wiring, otherwise it will damage the
instrument.
3. Remove the output terminals cover of the power supply.
4. Loosen the screws of the output terminals and connect the red and black
test cables to the output terminals. Re-tighten the screws.
When maximum current that one test cable can withstand fails to meet the
rated current, use multiple pieces of red and black test cables. For example,
the maximum current is 1,200A, then 4 pieces of 360A red and black cables
are required.
5. Thread the red and black test cables through the output terminals cover of
the power supply and install the cover.
6. (Optional) According to the actual situation of DUT, connect the grounding
terminal on the rear panel of the instrument to the DUT to ensure the safe
grounding.
For the location information, see 1.5 Rear Panel Introduction.
7. Connect the other end of the remote sense cables to the DUT.
8. Connect the other end of the red and black cables to the DUT. The positive
and negative poles must be properly connected and fastened when wiring.
9. Power on the instrument and turn on the Sense function of the instrument.
For details, see 5.7 Sense Function (Sense).
Never touch cables or connections immediately after turning off

the instrument at the end of the test. Lethal voltages may remain
at the output terminals after turn-off. Verify that there is no dan-
gerous voltage on the output or sense terminals before touching
them.

2.5 Remote Interface Connection

This series power supply comes standard with four communication interfaces:
USB, LAN and CAN, and supports two optional communication interfaces:
GPIB, RS-232. You can choose one of them to communicate with your
computer.
When you use the remote interface to send SCPI instructions, if you use the
programming commands that involve modifying the instrument settings, such
as modifying the output voltage value, after completing the communication
connection between the instrument and the host computer, and after the
communication settings are completed, you must execute the SYST:REM
command firstly.
2.5.1 USB Interface

The USB interface is located on the rear panel of the instrument. You can con-
nect the instrument to the computer via a cable with a USB interface on both
ends (USB A-type connector on one end and USB B-type connector on the
other).
The user needs to select the USB interface type in the System menu before us-
ing the USB interface. The following types are optional.
• TMC: USB_TMC interface;
• VCP: Virtual serial port. For Win7 system, you can download IT-M3900 VCP
driver from ITECH official website or contact technical support engineer; for
Win10 system, you do not need to install VCP driver.
The operation steps to change the USB interface type in System Menu are as
follows.
2. Rotate the knob to select I/O and press [Enter].

3. Rotate the knob or press the Left/Right key to select USB, and press
[Enter].
4. Rotate the knob or press the Left/Right key to select the communication
method.
If you select VCP, you also need to set the baud rate and other parame-
ters of the virtual serial port, and the baud rate must be the same as the
configuration on the computer side.

2.5.2 LAN Interface

When the user connect PC through LAN interface, the following is required to
use the LAN interface. The LAN interface complies with the LXI standard.
Connect Interface
Use the following steps to quickly connect your instrument to your LAN and con-
figure it. Two typical LAN interface systems are described below: private LAN
and site LAN.
• Connect to the private LAN
A private LAN is a network in which LAN-enabled instruments and com-

puters are directly connected. They are typically small, with no centrally-
managed resources. When connected to a computer, a standard network
cable can be used to connect directly to the computer via the LAN interface.
• Connect to the site LAN
A site LAN is a local area network in which LAN-enabled instruments and

computers are connected to the network through routers, hubs, and/or
switches. They are typically large, centrally-managed networks with services
such as DHCP and DNS servers. When connected to a computer, a network
cable can be used to connect to the router, and the computer is also con-
nected to the router.
• When using one crossover cable to connect PC directly, the gateway address of
the instrument should be consistent with that of the PC, and the IP address
should be at the same network segment with the PC’s IP address.
• When the instrument and computer are connected to the router, an independent
IP address must be assigned for the instrument.
View LAN Interface Information
The operation steps to view the LAN interface information in the System Menu
are as follows.
3. Press the Left/Right key to select LAN and press [Enter].
4. Press the Left/Right key to select Info and press [Enter].
5. Rotate the knob to view the LAN parameters. See the information in 1.8 Sys-
tem Menu Function for details.

Configure LAN Interface Information
The configurable parameters of this series power supply are described as

follows.
IP-Conf
• IP: This value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the instrument. An IP
address is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with the instru-
ment. An IP Address consists of 4 decimal numbers separated by periods.
Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255 with no leading zeros (for
example, 169.254.2.20).
• Mask: This value is used to enable the instrument to determine if a client IP
address is on the same local subnet. The same numbering notation applies
as for the IP Address. When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all
packets must be sent to the Default Gateway.
• Gateway: This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that allows the
instrument to communicate with systems that are not on the local subnet, as
determined by the subnet mask setting. The same numbering notation ap-
plies as for the IP Address. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default gate-
way is defined.
• DNS1: This field enters the primary address of the server. Contact your LAN
administrator for server details. The same numbering notation applies as for
the IP Address. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default server is defined.
DNS is an internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses.

It is also needed for the instrument to find and display its hostname assigned
by the network. Normally, DHCP discovers the DNS address information;
you only need to change this if DHCP is unused or not functional.
• DNS2: This field enters the secondary address of the server. Contact your
LAN administrator for server details. The same numbering notation applies
as for the IP Address. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that no default server is
defined.
• Socket Port: This value indicates the port number corresponding to the
service.
2.5.2.1 Using Web Server
The instrument has a built-in Web server for monitoring and controlling the in-
strument via a Web browser in PC. To use the Web server, connect the instru-
ment and PC over LAN interface and enter the instrument's IP address into the
address bar at the top of your PC's Web browser, you can access the front pan-
el control functions including the LAN configuration parameters.

2.5.2.2 Using Telnet
The Telnet utility (as well as sockets), is another way to communicate with the
instrument without using I/O libraries or drivers. In all cases, you must first es-
tablish a LAN connection from your computer to the instrument as previously
described.
In an MS-DOS Command Prompt box, type “telnet hostname” where hostname

is the instrument’s hostname or IP address. Press the Enter key and you should
get a Telnet session box with a title indicating that you are connected to the in-
strument and 23 is the instrument’s telnet port. Type the SCPI commands at the
prompt.
2.5.2.3 Using Sockets
• Before using this function, you need to configure Socket Port, and
the configuration on the instrument side should be consistent with
the configuration on the PC side.
• The instruments allow any combination of up to six simultaneous
socket and telnet connections to be made.
ITECH instruments have SCPI socket services, which can be used to send and
receive SCPI commands, queries, and query responses. All commands must
be terminated with a newline for the message to be parsed. All query responses
will also be terminated with a newline.

Precautions
• Before connecting power cord, be sure to confirm that the power

voltage matches with the supply voltage.
• Before connecting power cord, be sure to switch off the instrument.
Verify that there is no dangerous voltage on the terminals before
touching them.
• To avoid fire or electric shock, make sure to use the power cord
supplied by ITECH.
• Be sure to connect the main power socket to the power outlet with
protective grounding. Do not use terminal board without protective
grounding.
• Do not use an extended power cord without protective grounding,

otherwise the protection function will fail.
• Ensure that the input electrodes are either insulated or covered us-
ing the safety covers provided, so that no accidental contact with
lethal voltages can occur.
• If you notice strange sounds, unusual odors, fire, or smoke around

or from inside the instrument, flip the POWER switch to the (O) side
to turn the instrument off, or remove the power cord plug from the
outlet. The detachable power cord may be used as an emergency
disconnecting device. Removing the power cord will disconnect
AC input power to the unit.

Getting Started
3.2 Set Output Value

The voltage value, current value, power value can all be programmed. The user
can set different output parameters within the range of specifications according
to the need to satisfy a range of test requirement.
After selecting the operation mode, the interface displays the setting value
under the selected operation mode and the cursor blinks to prompt. The user
can use the following methods to set the values.
• Directly use the number keys to set the value.
• Rotate the knob to set the data in the cursor position. Rotate the knob clock-
wise to increase the set value and anticlockwise to decrease the set value.
Once the data in the cursor position increases to ten, the value will add one
to the front position automatically. and once the data in the cursor position
decreases to zero, the value will minus one from the front position automati-
cally. This provides convenience for the user to set. The knob can works with
the left or right keys. Use the left or right keys to move the cursor position.
After entering the menu interface, the knob can also be used to scroll pa-
ges to view menu items.
3.3 Use the Front Panel Menu.

The front panel provides multiple menu keys and the user can access the instru-
ment menu by using the front panel keys, including Config menu, System
menu, Protect menu and Function menu. And the user can change the related
system setting in the menu. Each menu is briefly described as follows.
• The user can set the parameters related to electrical properties in the
Config menu, including the current operation mode, slope, output delay
time, internal resistance.
• The user can set the function related to instrument system in the System
menu, including the key beeper, Sense function, power-on state, trigger
source, communication method, data logger method, digital I/O function set-
ting, parallel function, system information and so on.
• The user can set the parameters related to instrument protection function in
the Protect menu, including OCP /OVP/OPP /UCP/UVP.
• Function menu includes output list, batterycharging test function and so on.

Getting Started
The user press the complex keys to enter into the menu interface. The menu is
divided according to the function item and the corresponding operation is set in
the lowest level menu item. For example, the key beeper is set in System→-
Beep. Set the Beep item to off or on. Please refer to 1.7 Configuration Menu
Function, 1.8 System Menu Function and the corresponding chapters for de-
tailed menu description.

the knob to view the menu items. When the number in front of the menu item is
blinking, indicates this item is selected currently. Press [Enter] key to enter the
selected menu item and press [Esc] to exit the menu.
3.4 On/Off Control
• The [On/Off] key is used to turn the output/input on or off under

normal circumstances. Even if the instrument is in control by PC or
the keyboard is locked, the [On/Off] is still valid.
• The [On/Off] key light is off and turning the output off does not
place the instrument in a safe state. Hazardous voltages may be
present on all output and guard terminals. Putting the equipment
into an output-off state does not guarantee that the outputs are
powered off if a hardware or software fault occurs. See the cautions
about connecting the test lines before connecting test lines.
You can press the [On/Off] key on the front panel to control the output status of
the power supply. If the [On/Off] key light is on, indicates that the output is
turned on. If the [On/Off] key light is off, indicates that the output is turned off.
When the output of the power supply is on, the operating status flag (CV/CC/
CW) on the VFD will be illuminated.
It is recommended that you turn on the [On/Off] after the power supply is
connected to the DUT. If the power supply has no output after the output is
turned on, check the voltage and current setting value, set the voltage and
current to a non-zero value, and then turn on the output.

(Upper limit of current) , the lower limit of the current is 0. In CC priority mode,
press [I-set], the interface displays “Iset=0.00A” (Setting value of current).
The range of current settings is between the data ranges defined in the specifi-
cations. When [I-set] key is pressed, the key light is lit and the output current
value can be set. Press numeric keys or rotate the knob to adjust the value in
the current setting area indicated by the cursor. This value takes effect when
you press [Enter].

4.3 Set the Output Power

Press [P-set], the interface displays “Plim=0.00W” (Upper limit of power) , the
lower limit of the power is 0.
The range of power settings is between the data ranges defined in the specifica-
tions. When [P-set] key is pressed, the key light is lit and the output power value
can be set. Press numeric keys or rotate the knob to adjust the value in the
power setting area indicated by the cursor. This value takes effect when you
press [Enter].
4.4 Config Menu for Power Supply

In this chapter, the setting items under the configuration menu are described in
detail.
4.4.1 Set the CC/CV Priority Mode

CV Priority
In CV priority mode, the output is controlled by a constant-voltage feedback

loop, which maintains the output voltage at its programmed setting as long as
the load current remains within the current limit settings. CV priority mode is
best suited for use with resistive or high impedance loads, and loads that are
sensitive to voltage overshoots. Do not use CV priority mode with low-impe-
dance sources such as batteries, power supplies, or large charged capacitors.
In CV priority mode, the output voltage should be programmed to the desired

value. A current limit value should also be set. The current limit should always
be set to a value that is greater than the actual input current requirement of the
external load. The following figure shows the CV priority operating locus of the
output.

The heavy solid line illustrates the locus of possible operating points as a func-
tion of output. As shown by the horizontal portion of the line, the output voltage
remains regulated at its programmed setting as long as the load current remains
within the current limit setting. A CV status flag indicates that the output voltage
is being regulated and the output current is within its limit settings.
Note that when the output current reaches current limit, the unit no longer oper-
ates in constant voltage mode and the output voltage is no longer held constant.
Instead, the unit will now regulate the output current at its current limit setting.
CC Priority
In CC priority mode, the output is controlled by a constant current feedback

loop, which maintains the output current at its programmed setting. The output
current remains at its programmed setting, provided the load voltage remains
within the voltage limit setting. CC priority mode is best suited for use with bat-
teries, power supplies, large charged capacitors, and loads that are sensitive to
current overshoots.
In CC priority mode, the output current should be programmed to the desired

value. A positive voltage limit range should also be set. The voltage upper limit
should always be set to a value that is greater than the actual input voltage re-
quirement of the external load. The following figure shows the CC priority oper-
ating locus of the output.

The heavy solid line illustrates the locus of possible operating points as a func-
tion of output. As shown by the vertical portion of the line, the output current re-
mains regulated at its programmed setting as long as the output voltage
remains within its limit setting. A CC (constant current) status flag indicates that
the output current is being regulated and the output voltage is within its limit
settings.
Note that when the output voltage reaches the upper limit, the unit no longer op-
erates in constant current mode and the output current is no longer held con-
stant. Instead, the unit will now regulate the output voltage at its voltage limit
setting.
How to Set

Delay
Protection Delay
You can specify an OCP/OVP/OPP/UCP/UVP delay to prevent momentary out-

put settings and status changes from tripping the protection. In most cases
these momentary conditions would not be considered an protection fault, and
having an OCP/OVP/OPP/UCP/UVP condition disable the output when they oc-
cur would be a nuisance. Specifying an protection delay (Delay) can ignore
these momentary changes during the specified delay period. Once the delay
time has expired and the protection limit condition persists, the output will shut
down.

Protection Prompt
When the instrument enters the protection state, the buzzer sounds (if Beep
menu item is set as default state On), the VFD status indicators Prot and Off
are lit, and [On/Off] is turned off.
Although [On/Off] is turned off, there may be dangerous voltage

at the output electrodes. Do not touch the wiring cable or the
electrode terminals.
When protection is generated, the VFD screen displays the following

information:
• The first row shows the meter voltage and the meter current value.
• The left side of the second row shows the specific protection information
(such as overvoltage protection OVP), the right side shows the duration of
the protection (hour: minute: second) and the number of protection informa-
tion in the message queue and the total number of protection information.
Users can turn the page through the knob to view all the protection
information.
Clear the Protection
After the instrument triggers protection and generates a protection message,

you need to troubleshoot the possible cause. When the protection is resolved,
the VFD will still prompt the protection information. You can manually clear the
protection information record through the following methods.
• Input a pulse signal to pin 1 of the rear panel P-IO to clear the protection
information.
For details, see 5.11.1 IO–1. Ps-Clear, Not-Invert.

• Press the [Esc] or [Enter] key on the front panel to manually clear the pro-
tection information.
• Connected to the host computer, the PC sends a PROTection:CLEar com-
mand to the instrument to clear the protection information.
After the protection is cleared, you need to press the [On/Off] key on the front
panel or send the OUTPut ON command to the instrument to reopen [On/Off].

4.5.1 Set Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)

Users can enable the OVP function and set the protection limit Level and pro-
tection delay time Delay. When the voltage (i.e., the Meter value) is greater than
this protection limit and the delay time is exceeded, the power supply will enter
the OVP state.
Possible Cause
Many reasons can cause OVP, the details are as follows:
• The set protection limit Level is lower than the voltage Meter value.
• The external (AC input) inputs a higher voltage.
• The power supply outputs a high voltage due to a fault.
Please avoid inputting a external voltage higher than 120% rated

value, or the instrument will be damaged.

4.5.6 Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
When internal temperature of instrument is higher than about 85 °C, the instru-
ment is under temperature protection. At this time, the instrument will automati-
cally be OFF and VFD status indicator Prot lights up and the screen prompts
OTP.
Possible Cause
To prevent damaging heat build-up and ensure specified performance, make

sure there is adequate ventilation and air flow around the instrument to ensure
proper cooling. Do not cover the ventilation holes on the rear panel, sides, or
bottom of the instrument. Even with proper ventilation, the instrument can over-
heat in the following situations.
• If the ambient temperature is too high.

• If you use the instrument to test for long periods.
How to Set
The OTP limit does not need to be set, and the internal device of the instrument
automatically detects and determines whether to enter the OTP state.
If an over-temperature condition occurs, power off the instrument and allow it to

cool for at least 30 minutes. After the internal temperature of the instrument has
cooled down, power it on again.
When you return power to the instrument, verify that the cooling
fan is running. If not, please contact ITECH Technical Support.
Leaving the instrument powered on with an inoperative cooling
fan may result in damage to the instrument.

4.5.7 Sense Reverse Protection

The instrument defaults to provide sense reverse protection. The premise is that
the Sense switch is turned on. When the output state is ON and the difference
between output terminal voltage and sense remote voltage exceeds the speci-
fied voltage, sense reverse protection will be enabled after 500ms. The instru-
ment output will be immediately switched to Off and the display screen will
display SENSE ERR if the sense terminals are reversed.
When the instrument is in Sense Reverse Protection state, you should check
whether the polarities are connected reversely or not firstly. If yes, you can re-
open the output after the polarities connect correctly.
The voltage difference between output terminal and remote sense terminal of
each model is not the same. When the remote sense terminal is connected re-
versely, the maximum voltage will not exceed the sum of output terminal voltage
and the difference voltage.
When Sense is reversed or short-circuited, the voltage meter value is dis-

played as a positive/negative value close to 0, and abnormal high voltage
output does not occur, which can avoid damage to the DUT.

• Master: Indicates that the current single unit is set to master in parallel
mode. When set to Master, you also need to set the number of slaves to
be mounted for the master, so you need to set the value of the Total pa-
rameter. For example, setting Total = 3 means that the total number of
units in the parallel relationship is 3.

Basic Operation
In the parallel mode, you only need to operate the master. Synchro-
nous operations on other slaves are implemented by operating the
master.
• Slave: Indicates that the instrument is set to the slave in parallel mode.

control.
GND Ground terminal, that is, the negative terminal Level signal
corresponding to each of the above 7 pins.

Basic Operation
In this chapter, all the pulse signals involved in the digital I/O function are
switched from high level to low level.
General Digital I/O Function
• Signal definition
Digital I/O functions involve input and output levels and pulse signals. The in-
put signal is the control signal provided externally to , the output signal is the
level signal provided externally by , and the pulse signal is the edge signal
switched between high and low levels.
Typical: 5V
High level signal Range: 1.6V-15V
Current: ≤100mA
Input signal
Typical: 0V
Low level signal Range: -5V-0.8V
Current: ≤100mA
Voltage level: 5V
High level signal
Current: ≤1mA
Output signal
Voltage level: 0V
Low level signal
Current: 0.5mA
Level rise slope 10us
Pulse Level fall slope 2us
Width 30us
• Input/Output Function
The IO-1 ~ IO-7 pins are featured default function, the user can setting the
function of pin according to requirement. The Input and Output are the gen-
eral digital I/O function, and the parameter settings and functions of the sev-
en pins are the same.
The IO-1~IO-7 pins provide default functions. Users can realize control ac-
cording to the functions defined. Users can also reset the input or output
properties of the present pin and customize the function use of the pin ac-
cording to their needs.
– When pins 1 to 7 are configured to Output function, either high level
(False) or low level (True) can be Output.
– When pins 1 to 7 are configured to Input function, an external signal can
be Input to this pin, and the instrument can detect the state of the exter-
nal signal.

Basic Operation
– Under the default condition (Not-Invert), when the pin (1 to 7) is config-

ured as Output→PWM, the user needs to set the frequency (PWM Freq)
and duty cycle (PWM Duty) values. For example, if the PWM Freq is set
to 100Hz and the PWM Duty is set to 10%, the output waveform is as
follows:
In the above figure, the peak voltage (minimum value) is 5.16V and
the cycle is 10ms. The high level duration is 9ms and the low level du-
ration is 1ms in one cycle.
• Signal Revert
Select Invert or not under the IO Settings menu. If setting to Not-Invert, it
means the default level will be valid. If setting to Invert, it means the valid sig-
nal is reversed. For example, the IO-5 pin is inhibit output by default and the
high level is valid, when select revert Invert, the low level is valid and the in-
strument output is disabled.

5.12 Analogue Function (Ext-Program) (Optional)

The external analog quantity function means that the user can input an analog
signal in the range of –10V to 10V through the analog quantity input interface
for remote setting of the instrument’s input setting value. The external analog
quantity function is not the standard-equipped function for the instrument. It is
only available when the user selects the IT-E177 interface card.
The rear panel of this series of instrument provides an optional interface card in-
tegrating the RS-232 and analog quantity function. The interface card provides
the following capability:
• Remotely control voltage and current values.
• Remotely control voltage and current upper limit values.
• Remote monitoring of output voltage/current measurement.
• RS-232 communication interface, please refer to 2.5.5 RS–232 Interface

fore, the Ch3 parameters here do not
need to be set.
Analog Conversion Relationship Introduction
When the analog quantity control function of this series of instrument is used,
the user needs to set the conversion relationship of the analog quantity ex-
pected value based on requirements. The analog quantity values in each chan-
nel all follow the calculation relationship of y=Mx+b. The user needs to set the
MX (slope coefficient) and MB (offset) values in different channels in the analog
quantity menu. For calculation of the analog quantity value. The user can calcu-
late the M and b values based on the analog requirements in accordance with
the formula below.
Taking the Ch1 programming channel as an example, the user needs to convert
the values of Mx and Mb according to the following formulas, and then set the
two values through the front panel keys or SCPI remote commands.
The principle of parameter setting of Ch1 and Ch2 and Ch3 is the same, so
the description will not be repeated.

5.15 System Upgrade

This series power supply supports the upgrade of the system version. System
upgrade includes the following two methods:
• During the start-up period after the instrument is powered on, through the
USB interface on the front panel, select the system upgrading files in the
memory device (USB flash drive) for upgrading.
• The user can access to the Web service programs in the instrument by the
Web browser on PC for upgrading operation.
This Chapter introduces in detail how to upgrade the system with the USB inter-
face on the front panel. For the upgrading method of Web, see 2.5.2.1 Using
Web Server.
Before You Upgrade
Before upgrading, you need to note the following points:
1. Description about system upgrading files.
Before upgrading, please contact ITECH technical staff to obtain the follow-
ing two upgrading files, and put them under the root directory of the USB
flash drive.
• itech_3900_P.itech
System upgrading package postfixed with .itech.

• ItechConfig.txt
System upgrading configuration file in text format. Before performing the

upgrade, you need to open the configuration file with a text editing tool to
confirm that the system upgrade package name in the configuration file
is consistent with the present upgrading package name.
For example, when there are multiple system upgrading package post-
fixed with .itech in the root directory of your USB flash drive, you need to
use a text editing tool to open the configuration file and specify the up-
grade package name corresponding to the present upgrade operation.
2. The upgrading methods for single unit or units in parallel are slightly differ-
ent: Under the parallel mode, the user can select to upgrade all units or a

Basic Operation
single unit only by operating the master. Therefore, the user needs to get ac-
cess to SN numbers of all instruments in the parallel network (To obtain the
unique ID for identifying instrument, see 5.13 View the System Information
(System Info)) for selective upgrading based on the SN number in subse-
quent upgrades.
3. If the upgrade fails, the interface will prompt Update fail. At this point, you
cannot use the instrument. Please contact ITECH technical staff for
treatment.
Upgrade Operation
• System Upgrade under Single-unit Mode
1. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB interface on the front panel of the
instrument.
2. Power on the instrument. At this point, press Shift for several times till
the instrument can detect the system upgrading files in the USB flash
drive.
After the system upgrading files are detected, the interface displays as
follows:

Routine Maintenance
7 Routine Maintenance
This chapter describes the general maintenance items and maintenance meth-
ods of the device.
♦ Instrument Self-Test
♦ Cleaning and Maintenance
♦ Contact of ITECH Engineers
♦ Return for Repair
7.1 Instrument Self-Test

Self-test checks that the minimum set of logic and power mesh systems are
functioning properly. Self-test does not enable the output or place any voltages
on the output. Self-test can be achieved in two ways:
• Re-start the instrument. Each time the instrument is powered on, the self-
test is performed. This test assumes that the instrument is running.
• SCPI command: *TST?. If the return value is 0, the self-test passes; if it is 1,

the self-test fails. If the self-test fails, please send command SYSTem:ER-
Ror? to view the self-test error. Please refer to Programming Guide for the
list of error codes.
Ensure that all test cables connections are removed when self-test is per-
formed. During self-test, errors may be induced by signals present on ex-
ternal wiring, such as long test leads that can act as antennae.
7.2 Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure the safety function and performance of the instrument, please clean
and maintain the instrument properly.

Routine Maintenance
• To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from AC

mains power and disconnect all test leads before cleaning.
• Do not use detergent or solvents.
• Do not disassemble the instrument and attempt to clean internally.
Clean the outside and the front panel screen of the instrument using a soft, lint-
free, cloth slightly dampened with water. Use a brush to clean the dust on the
vent and cooling fans.
7.3 Contact of ITECH Engineers

This section describes operations to be carried out by the user in case of failure
of the instrument.
Preparation before contact
When the instrument fails, you should make the following preparations before
returning the instrument to ITECH for repair or contacting engineers.
• Check all the items listed in the Self-inspection of equipment faults and con-
firm whether there are still some problems.
• Collect the SN of the instrument.
For details, see Collect the SN number.
If there are still some problems, carefully read the Warranty and Limitation of
Warranty in the preface of the manual. Confirm that your instrument complies
with warranty service conditions. If after your warranty expires, ITECH offers re-
pair services at competitive prices.
Self-inspection of equipment faults
When the instrument fails, make the following checks to ensure that the failure
is in the instrument rather than any external connections. If the instrument fail-
ure can be eliminated via simple inspection, the maintenance cost and time can
be saved.
• Check whether the AC power cord is securely connected to the instrument
and to a AC distribution panel.
• Check whether the front-panel Power On switch has been turned on.
• Check whether self-inspection of the instrument is successful and whether
the specifications and performance are within the indicator ranges.

Routine Maintenance
• Check whether the instrument displays error information.

• Use other instruments instead of this instrument for confirmation.
Collect the SN number
ITECH will constantly improve the product performance, availability and reliabil-
ity. The service personnel of ITECH will record changes of each instrument. All
relevant information is marked uniquely according to the serial number of each
instrument. The equipment returned for repair must adopt the SN number as the
tracking ID.

7.4 Return for Repair

If your instrument fails during the warranty period, ITECH will repair or replace it
under the terms of your warranty. After your warranty expires, ITECH offers re-
pair services at competitive prices. Also you can purchase an extended mainte-
nance service contract that exceeds the standard warranty period.

To get the service for your instrument, choose the easiest way to contact the
ITECH engineers. ITECH will arrange for repair or replacement of your instru-
ment or provide warranty and repair cost information (if applicable).

Routine Maintenance
Repackaging for Shipment
Never use styrene pellets in any shape as packaging materials.

They do not adequately cushion the instrument or prevent it from
shifting in the carton. Styrene pellets cause the instrument dam-
age by generating static electricity and by lodging in the rear
panel.
ITECH recommends that you retain the original shipping carton for return ship-
ments and always insure shipments. To ship the unit to ITECH for service or
repair:
1. Download the ITECH maintenance service application from our website,
complete it and place it in the box with the instrument.
2. Place the unit in its original container with appropriate packaging material.
If the original shipping container is unavailable, use a container that will en-
sure at least 10 cm (4 in.) of compressible packaging material around the en-
tire instrument. Use static-free packaging materials.
3. Secure the container with strong tape or metal bands.

Value (A)
• AWG (American Wire Gage), it means X wire (marked on the wire). The table
above lists current capacity of single wire at working temperature of 30°C. For
reference only.
• Along with temperature, you must also consider voltage drop when selecting
wire sizes.
Although the instrument will compensate for the voltage in the wires, it is recom-
mended to minimize the voltage drop as much as possible to prevent excessive
power consumption from the instrument and poor dynamic response to load
changes. Larger diameter wire sizes will help minimize wire voltage drops.
Twisting or bundling wires will help reduce transient voltage drops.

A.3 Fuse Replacement

Different models of our company product are supplied with different fuse assem-
bly. The way to replace the fuse changes accordingly. The common ways are
as follows. Please choose the corresponding way of disassembly and replace-
ment based on the fuse assembly of the actual instrument.
If there are no fuse assembly on the instrument rear panel, it means that you
can’t replace the fuse by yourself. Please contact the ITECH engineer on the
condition of the same malfunction.

Appendix
The type of the fuse The way to replace
1. Use a screwdriver to push and turn the

fuse box anti-clockwise. When turned to 90
degrees, release the screwdriver. Refer to
the picture below.
2. The fuse box will bounce up, then you can

see the fuse in it. Take out the blown fuse.
3. Please replace with a fuse of the same
specification. Refer to the technical specifi-
cation of the corresponding instrument.
4. When install, put into the fuse box as the
