2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - SM1500-series

1 Caution
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service and repair of this equipment.
Failure to comply with the safety precautions or warnings in this document violates safety standards of design,
manufacture and intended use of this equipment and may impair the built-in protections. Delta Elektronika shall not be
liable for user’s failure to comply with these requirements.

2 Installation Category
The Delta Elektronika power supplies have been evaluated to installation category II (Over voltage category II).

3 Grounding of Mains Terminals (AC Power Terminals)

This product is a safety Class 1 unit. To minimize shock hazard, the unit must be connected to the AC Power Supply
mains through a three conductor power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety
ground) at the power outlet.
For units designed to be hard-wired to the mains supply , the protective earth terminal must be connected to the safety
electrical ground before another connection is made. Any interruption of the protective ground conductor, or
disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that might cause personal injury.

4 Grounding of DC Power Terminals

If the DC power terminal of a unit is specified to sink or source to a maximum of 60VDC, and either the negative or
positive DC power terminal is grounded, the following connections can be considered safe:
- DC power terminals and sense connections
- programming/monitor/status-signals, interlock, Master/Slave-connections, ACF/DCF-relay
- all Delta Elektronika interfaces

Warning:
When the positive DC power terminal can exceed 60VDC in respect to the negative DC power terminal, additional
external measures must be taken to ensure safety isolation of the DC power terminals and sense connections.
Warning:
When the negative power output of the unit can exceed 60VDC / 42.4Vpk in respect to ground, additional
external measures must be taken to ensure safety isolation of the following:
- power outputs and sense connections
- programming/monitor/status-signals, Interlock, Master/Slave-connections, ACF/DCF-relay
- interfaces with operational isolation
- non-isolated interfaces.

Caution 1: If a low voltage unit has both DC power terminals floating, or if the DC terminals are in series with an
external high AC or DC voltage, the lower DC power terminal can exceed the safe value in respect to ground as
specified in the above warning!
Caution 2: Although a high voltage unit is set to a safe voltage below 60VDC, for safety it must always be considered as
a high voltage unit! Wrong operation, a programming error or an external defect can result in an unsafe high DC output
voltage.
Caution 3: When programming a high voltage unit directly via a PC or via a network connection, either ground the
negative power output or use a safety isolated interface!
For more information and schematics regards Grounding and Safety, see the special application note "Safe operation of
a power supply" on the Delta Elektronika website.

5 Fuses
Fuses must be changed by authorized Delta Elektronika service personnel only, for continued protection against risk of
fire.

6 AC Input Ratings
Do not use an AC Supply which exceeds the AC input voltage and frequency rating of this unit. The AC input voltage
and frequency rating of the Delta Elektronika power supply series are stated in the accompanying datasheet.

7 Live Circuits
Operating personnel should not remove the unit covers. No internal adjustment or component replacement is allowed by
non Delta Elektronika qualified personnel. Never replace components with the power cable connected. To avoid injuries,
always disconnect power, remove external voltage sources and discharge circuits before touching components.

8 Parts Substitutions & Modifications

Parts substitutions and modifications are allowed by authorized Delta Elektronika service personnel only. For repairs or
modifications the unit must be returned to a Delta Elektronika service facility.

SM1500 GENERAL

3 GENERAL SM 15-100 SM 35-45

1) OUTPUT
The SM15-100, SM35-45, SM52-30, SM52-AR-60, SM70-22, SM120-13,
SM300-5 and the SM400-AR-8 can either be used as a constant voltage
source with current limiting or as a constant current source with voltage limit-
ing. The change of mode occurs sharply at the crossing of the voltage and
current settings. Fig. 3 - 1 shows the output ranges.

The SM52-AR-60 and the SM400-AR-8 feature an AUTORANGING facility SM 52-30 SM 52-AR-60
where the power supply automatically switches over between two current
ranges. This switching, which is unnoticeable for the user, results in a versa-
tile power supply with twice the output voltage range. This means that for
the SM52-AR-60 the maximum output power of 1560 W is available at both
26 V and 52 V. For the SM400-AR-8 this is 1600 W at both 200 V and 400 V.

° DISPLAY CV/CC SETTINGS FUNCTION

The settings of the voltage and current control (also when programmed) can
be observed on the front panel meters by pressing the Display CV/CC Set-
tings button. This allows the current limit to be set when operating in the CV SM 70-22 SM 120-13
mode without shorting the output terminals, and the voltage limit to be set
when operating in the CC mode without opening the load leads.

° OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The power supply is fully protected against all overload conditions, including
short circuit.

2) INPUT VOLTAGE
The power supplies have a wide input voltage range. SM 300-5
° At line voltages below about 120 V AC the output power has to be derated,
see page 1-2, "Input".
SM 400-AR-8
3) INPUT CURRENT
The unit has active power factor correction (PFC). The input current will
therefore almost be a sine wave. This means that the RMS-value and the
harmonic distortion of the input current will be relatively low.
fig. 3 - 1
4) STANDBY INPUT POWER Output ranges. Every point in hatched
The unit consumes very little power when in standby. This makes it possible area can be used.
to leave the input power on when the output is disabled using the Output
On/Off function (push button on front panel) or the Remote ShutDown input
(pin 5 on connector CON E on the rear panel).

5) EFFICIENCY
The efficiency is very high and constant over a wide output current range.
High efficiency means low power loss and low heat generation.

6) CV REGULATION
The CV-load regulation should be measured directly on the output terminals
because a few cm of cable can have a voltage drop of several mV (at high
current!).
fig. 3 - 2
7) CC REGULATION Measuring ripple voltage
WRONG !
For accurate CC-load regulation, do not use external voltage sensing.
A voltage between S- and minus output will create an error of about 0.04 %
per volt.
A voltage between S+ and + is not critical.The CC-stability is also affected by
external voltage sensing.
Note: when the unit operates in CC-mode, the DCF-LED will be on. When
the unit is in CC-mode most of the time, it is possible to disable the LED with
DIP switch 3 on SW1 (rear panel).

8) RIPPLE & NOISE

The output ripple is very low with almost no spikes. The ripple voltage has to
be measured directly on the output terminals using a probe with very short fig. 3 - 3
connections (to avoid pick up of magnetic fields (see fig. 3 - 2 and fig. 3 - 3). Measuring ripple voltage
At low temperatures like −20°C the ripple increases. By using high quality RIGHT !
electrolytic capacitors the increase is relatively low.

rev. August 2018 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Page 3 - 1

GENERAL SM1500

9) ANALOG PROGRAMMING
The output voltage and current can be programmed by an external analog
voltage. This programming is very accurate and linear. The levels are all
standardized on 5 V.
The inputs have a protection circuit formed by a series resistor and a
parallel zenerse (see fig. 3 - 4). The capacitor limits the speed to a safe
value. Note that the analog inputs (and outputs) are not floating, but the
common is connected to the negative output terminal. Wrong con-
nection of Ø can cause earth loops which can trip the fuse. After removing
the fault, the fuse will reset (PTC-fuse). For isolated programming see
next paragraph 10).

10) ISOLATED ANALOG PROGRAMMING

To prevent earth loops which can cause programming errors, use an iso-
lated programming source. If this is not possible, use the optional ISO fig. 3 - 4
AMP CARD (δ-product) which can be built inside the unit.
With the ISO AMP CARD earth loops between the unit and the program-
Programming inputs (internal circuit)
ming source are prevented.

11) ETHERNET / IEEE488 / RS232 PROGRAMMING

The Delta Elektronika PSC-ETH, PSC-488 and the PSC-232 controllers
can be built inside the unit.
Voltage and current can easily be programmed and read back. Also all
the status outputs can be read by the computer.

12) MONITORING OUTPUTS

The monitor outputs give a voltage 0 - 5 V proportional to the output cur-
rent or voltage. The output current can easily be measured using the
I-monitor (see fig. 3 - 6). The monitor outputs are buffered with op-amp’s
and protected with series resistors and parallel zeners (see fig. 3 - 7).
The table in fig. 3 - 5 shows the impedance levels of the monitoring out-
puts.

The Over Temperature Status or OT status is "1" in case of an over temperature,

the OT LED will be on and the output shuts down. As a pre-warning the OT LED
starts to blink when the unit runs hot but the situation of over temperature is not
reached yet. The status will still be low when the LED is blinking.
The Current Control Status or CC-status output is "1" when the unit is in
CC-mode.
The Power Sink OverLoad Status or PSOL-status output is "1" when the optional
Power Sink is overloaded or overheated.
The AC-Fail Status or ACF-status output is "1" when the input voltage is below
115 V (peak, not rms) for more than 10 ms. Note that if you want the ACF-status to
switch before the DCF-status, the hold-up time has to be > 10 ms. This can be
achieved by reducing the load, see paragraph 25) of this chapter.
The DC-Fail Status or DCF-status output is "1" when the output voltage is either
5% below or above the set point.
When the unit is in CC-mode, DCF will always be "1", see previous paragraph 7).

15) STATUS RELAY OUTPUTS

The power supply has 2 status relay outputs, with each a change-over contact.
They are connected to connector CON D. The pins 1, 2, 3 are connected to the
DCF-relay and pins 4, 5, 6 to the ACF-relay (see fig. 3 - 10). Pin 1 is the lower fig. 3 - 10
output, closest to SW1. Status relay outputs on CON D.
This situation gives the relay

programming connector CON E will switch off the output of the unit. SW1-2

connected together to enable the unit.As soon this connection is in-
terrupted, the output of the unit shuts down.It can be used in combi-
nation with door contacts (safety precaution) or as an emergency
stop.
In case the connection is interrupted the RSD LED will light. In con-
trast with Remote ShutDown, also the DCF LED will be on, DCF
status will be high and the relay contact will change. Once the in-
puts are reconnected, the output will be on again.
The interlock circuit is at the same level as the analog ground , the
S- and the - output.The interlock circuit needs voltage free contacts
and can not be connected in parallel or series with other interlocks .

19) PROGRAMMING SPEED fig. 3 - 12

The rise and fall time is measured with a step waveform at the CV Remote ShutDown using a relay contact
prog. input. Programming from a low to a high output voltage is
nearly load independent, but programming down to a low voltage
takes more time on lighter loads. This is caused by the output ca-
pacitors, which can only be discharged by the load because the
power supply cannot sink current. With the Power Sink option,
also the programming down speed is nearly load independent.
When having a unit with a Fast Programming option, the rise and
fall time is 5 to 25 times faster (see datasheet). The programming
source must be floating or otherwise an ISO AMP CARD must be
used, a non-floating source will result in slope distortion. fig. 3 - 13
For a fast programming unit it is generally not recommended to use Pulsating load current
remote sensing or serial / parallel operation. Consult factory for ad-
vice. Note that the output ripple is higher.

20) PULSATING LOAD

To avoid overheating the output capacitors, the AC component of
the load current should be limited (see fig. 3 - 13).
One method of decreasing the AC current through the output ca-
pacitor is by using a large external electrolytic capacitor in parallel
with the load. Care must be taken so that the capacitor in combina-
tion with the lead inductance will not form a series resonant circuit!
fig. 3 - 14
When using remote sensing on a pulsating load (for instance a
DC-motor), use a capacitor in series with a resistor over the load
(see fig. 3 - 14). Like this the AC-component caused by the pulsat-
ing of the load is filtered.
Note: in case of a pulsating load, the I monitor voltage will not ex-
actly match the output current. This is mainly caused by the current
through the output capacitors. Remote sensing will worsen this ef-
fect.

21) INSULATION
For safety the insulation of the separating components (transform- fig. 3 - 15
ers) between input and output is tested at 3750 Vrms during 1 min- Insulation test voltages
ute. This is tested before assembly.

Page 3 - 4 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. rev. August 2018

SM1500 GENERAL

Warning! The 3750 Vrms cannot be tested afterwards on the

assembled unit because the insulation between the compo-
nents on the input side to the case (like the bridge rectifier) is
specified at 2500 Vrms. Since the insulation output - case is low
(only 600 V DC) the insulation of the primary components to
case will break down when 3750 Vrms is applied between input
and output (2500 Vrms + 600 V DC < 3750 Vrms) (see also fig. 3
- 15).
Note: when testing the insulation, take care to charge and dis-
charge the capacitors between input - case and output - case
slowly (e.g. in one second). This to prevent high peak currents,
which could destroy the power supply. Make sure to discharge
the capacitors completely before using it again. fig. 3 - 16
Operating temperature ranges
22) RFI SUPPRESSION
Both the input and output have RFI filters, resulting in very low
conducted RFI to the line and load. Due to the output filter the
output voltage is very clean, having almost no spikes.

23) OPERATING TEMPERATURE

At full power the operating temperature range is –20 to +50 °C.
From 50 to 60 °C the output current has to be derated linearly to
75 % at 60 °C (see fig. 3 - 16). These temperatures hold for nor-
mal use, i.e. the ventilation openings on the left and right side
must be free.

24) THERMAL PROTECTION

A thermal switch shuts down the output in case of insufficient
cooling.The OT status will be high. After cooling down the unit
will start working again.
The OT-LED on the front panel will be on and the OT-status sig-
nal will be "1" in case of a tripped thermal protection. fig. 3 - 17
As a pre-warning the OT-LED blinks (status will still be low), this
will start before the power supply shuts down. Hold-up time vs Vout with Iout as a parameter

25) HOLD - UP TIME

The hold - up time depends on the load and the output voltage.
A lighter load or a lower output voltage results in a longer hold -
up time (see fig. 3 - 17).

26) TURN ON DELAY

The output voltage is available about 0.5 s after mains switch on.

27) INRUSH CURRENT

The inrush current is limited with a special circuit.
Repeatedly switching on and off does not change the maximum
peak current.
Switching on and off at a fast rate can overheat the inrush cur-
rent limiter. With the result that the unit does not start anymore.
After cooling down (mains switched off) it will be OK again. fig. 3 - 18
Remote sensing, voltage drop in load leads sub-
28) REMOTE SENSING
The voltage at the load can be kept constant by remote sensing.
This feature is not recommended for normal use but only when
the load voltage is not allowed to vary a few millivolts. Always
use a shielded cable for sensing.
In order to compensate for the voltage drop across the load
leads, the unit will have to supply a higher voltage (see fig. 3 -
18): Uout = (voltage drop across each lead) + (voltage across the load).

The voltage limit reads the voltage directly at the output termi-
nals. The setting for the limit must therefore be increased by the
total voltage drop across the load leads.
The voltage display on the front panel and the voltage monitor
output on CON E are connected to the sense leads and there-
fore read the voltage across the load and not the voltage on the
output terminals.
The sense leads are protected against accidental interrup-
tion. The maximum voltage between the output terminals and
the sense inputs is limited at 2.5 V.

Master / Slave series operation

rev. August 2018 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Page 3 - 5

GENERAL SM1500

29) SERIES OPERATION

Series operation is allowed up to 600 V total voltage. The power supplies can
be connected in series without special precautions.
For easier control, Master / Slave operation is recommended (see fig. 3- 19).
By using the Master / Slave series feature a dual tracking power supply can
be made with one unit as master and one as slave.
For series operation in combination with Power Sink option, all units must
have a Power Sink built inside otherwise no power can be absorbed.

30) PARALLEL OPERATION

Paralleling of the units has no limitations. The power supplies can be con- fig. 3 - 20
nected in parallel without special precautions. For easier control, Master /
Slave operation is recommended (see fig. 3- 19 and fig. 3 - 20). Master / Slave parallel operation
Normal parallel operation of Fast Programming units can give problems,
each combination has to be tested first, in combination with the load !
For parallel operation in combination with Power Sink option, only one unit
can have a Power Sink. Refer to Power Sink manual for details and restric-
tions.

31) MASTER / SLAVE OPERATION

The Master / Slave feature makes it possible to use the power supplies as
building blocks to form one large unit (see fig. 3 - 20).
Mixed parallel - series operation is also possible, to a maximum of 600 V.
The resulting combination of units behaves like one power supply and can be
manually controlled or programmed on the master. Fig. 3 - 21 shows a com-
puter controlled M/S parallel combination.
Connect the different units with standard RJ45 cables (see fig 3 - 22), using
CON B and CON C on the rear side. With DIP switch 4 of switch SW1 the Par-
allel or Series mode can be selected.
The slaves will follow the master. The result is true current or voltage shar-
ing in the parallel or series mode respectively.

Note: Master / Slave parallel operation is not recommended for more
than 3 units or in combination with Fast Programming option.

32) VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT

The Voltage and Current Limits maintain the output to a safe preset value.
They do not trip, so no resetting is needed after a fault. It can be very handy to
have hardware limits when the power supply is programmed.
The limits can easily be set by pressing the DISPLAY LIMITS button and
adjusting the limit potentiometers with a screwdriver. The LED’s next to the
limit potmeters indicate the activity of each limit, also the LIM-status output will
be "1".
The Voltage Limit will protect your circuit from unwanted high voltages. A high
output voltage could be caused by accidental interruption of leads, accidentally
turning up the voltage potmeter, a programming error or a defect in the power
supply. The Voltage Limit circuit uses a separate voltage divider connected di-
rectly to the output terminals.
fig. 3 - 23
The Current Limit protects your circuit from unwanted high currents.
Note: In the Autoranging units the limit circuits are also used as "range limits". Screwdriver adjustment at front panel
This can be confusing. Example: a SM52-AR-60 operating in the range above
26 V will automatically reduce the limit setting to a maximum of 30 A.
Warning: if this unit operates in the range below 26 V, this setting is 60 A !
Take care the output cabling and the load can withstand such a high current or
otherwise reduce the limit setting to a lower value.

33) POTENTIOMETERS AND ENCODERS

° Standard: - CV and CC potentiometers with knobs at front panel,
Voltage Limit and Current Limit potentiometers with
screwdriver adjustment at the front panel.
° Option P001: - Screwdriver adjustment for CV, CC, Voltage Limit and
Current Limit at the front panel (see fig. 3 - 23).
° Option P220: - Digital encoders for CV and CC setting with a very long
life time and intelligent functions (e.g. Keylock).
Setting of CV-limit and CC-limit with screwdriver adjust-
ment analog potentiometers at the front panel.

34) COOLING
A low noise blower cools the unit. The speed of the fan depends on the temper-
ature of the internal heatsink. Normally at 50 °C ambient and full load the fan
will not work at full speed.
A special feature is that the fan blows through a tunnel where the heatsink is
situated, the delicate control circuitry is separated and will not be in the airflow fig. 3 - 24
path (see fig. 3 - 24). The fan blows through the tunnel,
Because the air enters at the left and exits at the right side, it is possible to stack where the heatsink is situated
the power supplies, no distance between the units is required. Only the ventila-
tion openings at the left and right side should be free.
For long life the temperature of the air entering on the left side, should be
below 35 °C under normal conditions. Under extreme conditions it should be
below 50 °C.
Note: The control circuit makes the fan start in a pulsating mode, during which
period it can produce a high pitched sound. This is normal.

4 INSTALLATION
Warning: carefully read the chapter "Safety Instructions"
in this manual before operating the unit!

1) HUMIDITY & CONDENSATION

• During normal operation, humidity will not harm the power sup-
ply, provided the air is not aggressive. The heat normally pro-
duced in the power supply will keep it dry.
• Avoid con den sa tion in side the power sup ply, to pre vent
break-down. Condensation can occur during a period the power
supply has been switched off (or operating at no load) and the
ambient temperature is increasing. Always allow the power sup-
ply to dry before switching it on again.

2) TEMPERATURE & COOLING

• The storage temperature range is –40 to +85 °C.
• The operating temperature range at full load is –20 to +50 °C.
This temperature range only holds when the air-intakes and fig. 4 - 1
air-outlets are unobstructed and the temperature of the air-intake Low resistive cable connection by mounting the

• When the power supply is mounted in a cabinet, please note that
the temperature of the air-intake should be kept low and avoid a
short circuit in the airflow i.e. the hot air leaving the air-outlets
entering the air-intakes again. Unit Output cables Bolts Torque
• Please note: a lower temperature extends the lifetime of the [mm2] [Nm]
power supply.

4) OPERATING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Check there is no condensation on the unit. If there is, allow some
time to dry.
• Check there is a link between + and S+ and between – and S– on
the SENSE BLOCK (on rear panel).
• Check there is a link between the inputs of the Interlock (CON A,
rear panel).
• Set the CV and CC potentiometers to minimum (fully anti clock-
wise). For units with Option P220, this is not needed. These units
are set to start at 0 V - 0 A when operated for the first time.
• For recommended cable diameters and torque (see table 4 -1). fig. 4 - 2
• With high output current make sure to use low resistive con- Programming by voltage:

followed by a washer, a split washer and a nut (see fig. 4 - 1).
Always in this order!
- Never place washers between the lugs and the strips
because this can result in excessive heat!
- Only use nuts and washers supplied with the unit.
• Switch on unit.
• Disable the Keylock function, see next paragraph 5).
• Check the unit is not in Remote CV or Remote CC (LED’s for this
function should be off). Press the REMOTE/LOCAL button until
both LED’s are off.

SM1500 GENERAL

• By pressing the DISPLAY LIMITS button, the voltmeter will

show the set ting of the CV-limit and the CC-limit
potentiometer.
• Check the cooling of the unit is not obstructed.

5) KEYLOCK
• If the function KEYLOCK is activated, it is no longer possible
to operate the REMOTE/LOCAL button and the OUTPUT
ON/OFF button. This function can be useful to protect the out-
put from accidental shutdown. The function KEYLOCK does
not influence the operating of the CV, CC, CV-limit and
CC-limit potentiometers.
• Units with digital encoders:
For units with Option P220 also the digital encoders for CV fig. 4 - 4
and CC are disabled with the Keylock function. This means Remote control
settings of the voltage and current do not change when the
encoders are operated. It is still possible to operate the analog
CV-limit and CC-limit potentiometers.
• Activate Keylock:
Pressing the buttons DISPLAY SETTINGS and DISPLAY
LIMITS at the same time for more than 3 seconds, activates
the function KEYLOCK. The moment this function is acti-
vated, the LED’s for REMOTE CV / CC and for OUTPUT ON
will blink a few times.
• Disable Keylock:
Pressing the same buttons again for 3 seconds, disables the
Keylock function. The LED’s for REMOTE CV / CC and for
OUTPUT ON will blink again to indicate the new setting.

6) ANALOG PROGRAMMING
• Set DIP switch 1 of SW1 in position RIGHT to select CON E fig. 4 - 5
for programming. Local sensing
• Disable Keylock.
• Set the unit in REMOTE CV for voltage programming and/or in
REMOTE CC for current programming.
Use the REMOTE/LOCAL button and push this button several
times until the right setting is activated.
Note that pushing the REMOTE/LOCAL button will shutdown
the output to avoid accidental damage to the load.
• Connect the programming voltage source(s) (0 - 5 V) to the
analog programming connector CON E on the rear panel (see
fig. 4 - 2 and fig. 4 - 3). Always use a shielded cable (max. 30
meter) for programming.
• Turn the output on again with the OUTPUT ON/OFF button
• If only the voltage is programmed, the maximum current can
still be set with the CC knob on the front panel and vice versa.
If this is not desirable the unit can be ordered with Option P001
or Option P220 in order to have a fixed setting for the CV and fig. 4 - 6
the CC knob on the front panel, see also par. 33) in previous Remote sensing with shielded wires
chapter "Descriptions".
• To avoid hum or noise, the programming cable may have to
be twisted in some cases.
• To program the unit by current instead of voltage, simply use a
parallel resistor as a current to voltage converter.
• Pressing the DISPLAY SETTINGS button will show the pro-
grammed values for CV and CC.
• CAUTION: The analog inputs are not isolated from the output.
The Ø of the prog. input (pin 1) is internally connected to the
S–, the S– is connected to the negative output. To protect the
internal wiring a 650 mA self-resetting fuse is connected in se-
ries (F27_1 on P647). To avoid earth loops, use an isolated
programming source. If this is not possible see next para-
graph 7), for using the optional ISO AMP CARD.

7) ANALOG PROGRAMMING WITH ISO AMP CARD

• For programming via the ISO AMP CARD, set DIP switch 1 on fig. 4 - 7

9) MONITORING OUTPUTS table 4 - 2

• The 5 V level is compatible with most interfaces.
• The monitoring outputs can drive a meter directly
(see fig. 4 - 4).

10) STATUS OUTPUTS

• The status outputs have a separate Ø connection (pin 8) to
avoid unwanted offsets in the programming. This pin is pro-
tected with a 650 mA self resetting fuse (F27_2 on P647).

11) REMOTE SENSING

• Remove the links on the SENSE BLOCK (on rear panel)
and connect sense leads (thin shielded measuring wires) fig. 4 - 8
to S+ and S– (see fig 4 - 5 and fig. 4 - 6). Charging battery with a circuit breaker in series
• With remote sensing the voltage on the load can be kept
constant. The voltage drop in the load leads will be com-
pensated. This feature is not recommended for normal use,
because it can easily give problems.
• Max. 2 V per load lead can be compensated. Note that the
voltage drop in the leads decreases the max. output volt-
age rating. In fig. 4 - 7 it can be seen that on a 15 V power
supply only 11 V will be available on the load when 2x 2 V
compensation is used.
• In order to prevent interference, it is advisable to twist the fig. 4 - 9
sense leads. To minimize the inductance in the load leads
keep the leads close to each other. The inductance of the Remote ShutDown with switch
loads leads could give a problem with pulsating loads. In
this case a large electrolytic capacitor (Cd) in series with a
damping resistor (Rd) both in parallel with the load will (see
fig. 4 - 6). Check that the capacitor Cd in combination with
the load leads and resistor Rd forms a well damped circuit.
• Since the voltmeter is internally connected to the sensing
terminals, it will automatically indicate the voltage on the
load. Note that the voltage measured on the load will be
lower than on the output terminals.
• The Over Voltage Limit measures the voltage on the output
terminals, so the OVL setting should be increased by the
total voltage drop in the load leads.

12) BATTERY CHARGER

• The CV / CC regulated power supplies are ideal battery
chargers. Once the output is set at the correct voltage the
battery will charge constantly without overcharging.
This can be useful for emergency power systems.
• Protective measures
Use a CIRCUIT BREAKER in series in order to protect the
power supply from accidental reverse connection (see fig. 4 - 10
fig. 4 - 8). The circuit breaker should have a DC voltage rat- Master / Slave series connection
ing twice the battery voltage. Use the very fast type (Z), a

Page 4 - 3 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. rev. August 2018

SM1500 INSTALLATION

type meant for protecting semiconductors (see table 4

- 2).
The unit has a reverse diode in parallel with the output,
this diode and the wiring cannot withstand the thou-
sands of amperes supplied by a wrongly connected
battery.

13) REMOTE SHUTDOWN

• The Remote ShutDown can be operated on CON E by
a
voltage of +4 V...+12 V or by a relay contact between
Vref and Remote ShutDown (pin 9 and 5) (see fig.
4 - 9).
• When the unit is programmed with an optional PSC, a
soft ware com mand can be used for Re mote
ShutDown.
• In the Remote ShutDown condition, the RSD LED will
light.
The DCF LED, DCF status and the DCF relay will be
off.

Important: If the link from the Interlock connector (CON

A) has been removed, the RSD LED will be on, but in
this
condition also the DCF LED, the DCF status and the
DCF relay will be on.

14) MASTER / SLAVE SERIES OPERATION

• Connect output terminals and test system in
normal series operation. Ensure that all (output) fig. 4 - 11
power connections are reliable. Master / Slave parallel connections
• The voltage drop in the connecting leads between the
units should be kept < 10 mV.
• Switch off all units. Connect units as shown in fig. 4 -
10.
On all units set switch SW1-4 in position OFF to set the
units in M/S series mode (see page 3-4).
• Warning: never connect CON C to CON C !
This can damage the units.
• Use standard UTP cables (RJ45) to connect the slaves
with the master via CON B and CON C.
• After turning the units on again, the slaves will be in Re-
mote CV mode and the Keylock, see previous para-
graph 5) is ac ti vated. This is because the unit
automatically detects the presence of the RJ45 con-
nector in CON C (if this cable is connected to another
unit).
If the RJ45 connector is removed from CON C when
the unit is turned on, the output will shutdown to avoid
accidental damage.
If the cable is inserted when the unit is turned on, the
output shuts down, the unit changes to Remote CV /
CC, the Keylock will be activated and the output will
turn back on.
If DIP switch 4 of SW1 is operated when the unit is
turned on, the output will shutdown to avoid accidental
damage.
• The max. number of slaves is only limited by the max.
total voltage of 600 V.

15) MASTER / SLAVE PARALLEL OPERATION

• Note: Master / Slave parallel is not recommended
for more than 3 units, consult factory for using
more than 3 power supplies in parallel.
• First, connect output terminals and test system in
normal parallel operation. Ensure that all power
connections are reliable.
• Second, switch off all units. To connect the slaves with
the master via CON B and CON C, use standard RJ45
connectors according to fig. 4 - 11.
On all units put DIP switch 4 of SW1 in position ON to
set the units in M/S parallel mode. In this mode the fig. 4 - 12
DCF LED, DCF relay and DCF status on the slaves are Master / Slave mixed series - parallel connections

rev. August 2018 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Page 4 - 4

INSTALLATION SM1500

disabled because the slaves are always in CC mode.

• After turning the units on again, the slaves will be in
Remote CC mode and the Keylock, see previous paragraph 5) is
activated. This is because the unit automatically detects the pres-
ence of the RJ45 connector in CON C (if this cable is connected to
another unit).
If the RJ45 connector is removed from CON C when the unit is
turned on, the output will shutdown to avoid accidental damage.
If the cable is inserted when the unit is turned on, the output shuts
down, the unit changes to Remote CV / CC, the Keylock will be ac-
tivated and the output will turn back on.
If DIP switch 4 of SW1 is operated when the unit is turned on, the
output will shutdown to avoid accidental damage.
• Stack the units to create a minimum distance between the units.
Keep the load close to the master.
Use copper strips (preferred) or short thick cables to connect the
units. Make sure the strips are mounted with a minimum length to
keep the voltage drop between a unit and the bus bar below 10
mV. Also keep the strips close to each other to have a low induc-
tance.
Not following these instructions can cause instability.
• The S- and S+ could be connected to the load if
desired, but this is not recommended because of the complexity
and possible instability.

16) PARALLEL OPERATION OF FAST

PROGRAMMING VERSIONS:
• Master / Slave operation is not recommended.
• Normal parallel operation can give problems, each combination
has to be tested first in combination with the load.

17) MASTER / SLAVE MIXED SERIES /

PARALLEL OPERATION
• For complex combinations as mixed series - parallel, always use a
MASTER / SLAVE SERIES ADAPTER.
• See fig. 4 - 12 for an example of how to connect 2 units in series in
parallel with 2 units in series, controlled by 1 master.
• Set the programming mode with the knob Remote / Local on the
front panel. The serial slaves must be in Remote CV- and
CC-mode. The parallel slave must be in Remote CC-mode and
the CV-potmeter must be fully opened.
• Note: A Master / Slave combination can always be
pro grammed, also with the IEEE488/RS232 con trol ler
(PSC-448/PSC-232 (both δ-products)).

SM1500 TROUBLE SHOOTING

5 TROUBLE SHOOTING
1 GENERAL
• In case you need assistance for repairing a unit, please contact
our en gi neers us ing the ad dress "S up-
[email protected]".
• In case you want us to repair the unit, please first fill out the
RMA-form before sending the unit to us. Adding a detailed fault
description will help us to repair the unit as soon as possible.
On our website www.DeltaPowerSupplies.com the RMA-form
can be found under 'Support'.

2 NO OUTPUT (manual control)

• Check the LEDs ‘Remote CV’ and ‘Remote CC’ on the front
panel, they should be off. Disable Keylock and press the RE-
MOTE/LOCAL button to turn both LEDs off.
• The LED ‘Output On’ should be on. If this LED is off, disable
Keylock and push the button ‘OUTPUT ON/OFF’.
• Check the connections on the SENSE BLOCK (at rear panel),
there should be a link between + and S+ and between – and S–
(see fig. 5 - 3).
• Check if there is a link in the Interlock connector (if not, the RSD
LED will be on). fig. 5 - 1
• Set both the CV- and CC-limit potentiometer (at front panel) at Location of programming fuses on P647
maximum (fully clockwise). P647 is situated directly behind the rear panel
• Turn both the CV and CC potentiometers a few turns clockwise.
A voltage should be present on the output (for units with Option
P220 first remove the Keylock function before the CV and CC
knobs can be turned, see par. 5) in pre vi ous chap ter
"INSTALLATION").
• Disconnect the cables from the output and check if now there's a
voltage present on the output. If this is the situation, use a load
with a higher impedance or use a second power supply in parallel.

3 PROGRAMMING DOES NOT WORK OK

• Check the unit is in Remote mode (Remote CV and/or Remote
CC LED should be on).
• The unit works OK in manual control, but in programming
mode the output voltage / current has a large error.
Probably the fuse in series with Ø (pin 1) of programming connec-
tor tripped, the fuse (F27_1 = 650 mA) is a self-resetting type (see
fig. 5 - 1).
• To check the fuse (F27_1) measure the voltage between Ø and
the minus output, during the fault condition. The voltage should
only be a few mV, a high voltage means that an unwanted current
is flowing through pin 1 of the prog. connector.
Please check why current is flowing through pin 1 (see next para-
graph) and fig. 5 - 2).

4 PROGRAMMING OFFSETS
• Unwanted offsets in the programming can be caused by
earth loops.
Fig. 5 - 2 shows a typical earthing problem. In case the load has a
connection to earth and the programming source as well, prob- fig. 5 - 2
lems could occur. Improper choice of the earthing point of the Unwanted programming offsets
load can give a voltage drop of ∆V1. Connecting the minus or
zero to a separate earth connection can give a voltage drop of
∆V2. Because the internal wires of the programming input are
thin, the voltage drops ∆V1 and ∆V2 will be across the internal
wiring as well. Resulting in an error voltage in series with the pro-
gramming voltage.
• The best solution for this is to use a floating programming
source, a floating load or the optional internal ISO AMP CARD
(δ-product).

5 STATUS OUTPUTS FAIL

• Check fuse F27_2 in series with Ø (pin 8 of CON E) (see fig. 5 - 1).
To check the fuse measure the voltage between Ø and the minus
output, a high voltage means too much current flowing through
the fuse. F27_2 = 650 mA, self resetting.

rev. August 2018 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Page 5 - 1

TROUBLE SHOOTING SM1500

6 MASTER / SLAVE PARALLEL PROBLEMS

• Check the voltage drop of the wiring between the master and the
slaves is < 10 mV.
• Check the wiring has a low inductance.

7 OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS HIGHER THAN SET VALUE

• Check connections on SENSE BLOCK (on rear panel), For nor-
mal operation there should be a link between + and S+ and be-
tween – and S– (see also fig. 5 - 3). When remote sensing is used,
check the wires of the sensing.

8 OT LED on
• The temperature of the internal heat sink is too high,
the output has been shutdown to avoid overheating.
• Check if the cooling fan is running.
• Check if the air temperature of the air inlet (left) is below 50 °C and
the airflow is not obstructed.

• Check if the cooling fan is running properly.
• Check if the air temperature of the air inlets (left) is below 50 °C
and the airflow is not obstructed.

10 ACF LED on
• The input voltage is too low or was intermittent because of a bad
connection. Disconnect the mains, wait a few minutes and try
again.
As soon as the ACF LED Iights, the settings for Remote CV, Re-
mote CC and Keylock will be saved. If the unit turns back on, it will
have the same settings. For the setting of Output On/Off after
turning the unit back on, the position of DIP switch 2 on SW1 is de-
termining.
If the ACF situation lasts a few seconds, the output will shutdown.
The ACF problem has to be solved first, before the output can be
turned on again.
• Internal error, send unit for repair. See previous paragraph 1).

11 DCF LED on
• The output voltage is below the set voltage. This automatically
happens when the unit is in CC-mode (CC LED is on).
Also with an interrupted Interlock connector, the DCF LED will be
on.
• Internal error, send unit for repair. See previous paragraph 1).

12 PSOL LED on
• The Power Sink is in overload or the temperature of the Power
Sink is too high. See datasheet of the Power Sink option for fur-
ther details.

13 NO LEDS on
• Check input.
• Do not try to repair, but send for repair. See previous paragraph
1).

SM1500 MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION

6 MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION

1 GENERAL
• The SM-series power supplies do not need any maintenance or
calibration.However, care must be taken that the cooling unit is
not obstructed.

2 COOLING FAN
• The built up of dust on the impeller of the fan and the heat sink fins
depends on the environment. Since the fan has over-capacity,
dust will not present a problem very quickly.
• The internal construction of the power supply is such that no dust
will reach the sensitive control circuitry, only the heat sink in a tun-
nel will be cooled by forced air (see fig. 6 - 1).
• The thermal protection will shutdown the output in case of over-
heating, so the power supply will not be damaged.
• It is advisable to inspect the fan and the heat sink regularly.

3 GALVANIC INDUSTRY
• For using the power supplies in the galvanic industry it is strongly fig. 6 - 1
recommended to take precautions against an aggressive envi- The fan blows through an internal tunnel,
ronment. where the heatsink is situated.
• An aggressive environment with acid, salt, etc. can harm the elec- Always take care to have the air outlet unob-
tronic components. Sometimes even the copper tracks on the structed.
printed circuit boards dissolve.
• To avoid problems, the power supplies should be mounted in a
relatively clean room, or mounted in a cabinet receiving clean air
with over pressure, or a cabinet with a heat exchanger.

4 CALIBRATION
• The power supplies are factory calibrated and normally need no
further calibration.
• Only in special situations, for example after repairing a unit, cali-
bration can be necessary.

5 METER CALIBRATION
• DIGITAL METERS
The full scale indication can be calibrated with R25_31 and fig. 6 - 2
R25_36 on P596 (see fig. 6 - 2).
Meter calibration with 25-turn potmeters on

6 SPECIAL CALIBRATIONS
• The following calibrations must be done by qualified personnel
only. Wrong calibration causes malfunction. These calibrations
are only needed after special repairs.
Warning ! Damage caused by a wrong calibration is not
warranted.
• CALIBRATING THE CURRENT
MONITOR OFFSET.
With R26_73 on P650 the offset of the CC monitor voltage can be
calibrated (see fig. 6 - 3). The unit has to be unloaded, the output
voltage has to be turned off using the OUTPUT ON/OFF button.
Measure the offset voltage of the CC monitor on the programming offset
connector. Calibrate the offset on a negative value between –1
mV and zero mV.

Short the output using a low resistive cable. Measure the output
current with an accurate shunt. The maximum output current can
be calibrated with R26_41. R26_41 is located on P650 (see
fig. 6 - 3).

Program CC input with exactly 5.00 V.

Set output voltage to a high value, ensuring the power supply is in
CC mode. Calibrate the current with R26_41 exactly on the rated
max. current.
Warning! Wrong calibration can damage the unit.
