2.1 Unpacking and Transportation
Unpacking
For cabinet products, they are packaged in wooden boxes at the factory. After
you receive them, please refer to the unpacking instructions provided with the
box for disassembly; for products packaged in cartons, please use appropriate
tools for unpacking.
It is recommended to keep the complete transport packaging for the lifetime of
the device for relocation or return to the manufacture for repair.

Transportation
If you need to transport non-cabinet products, you must pay attention to the fol-
lowing to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.

⚫ Before moving, make sure that the cabinet or stand where the
equipment will be placed has been fixed and meets the load-bear- ing
conditions to avoid tilting and collapsing, causing personnel to be
injured, and equipment broken.
⚫ Due to the weight of the product, transport by hand should be avoided
where possible. If unavoidable, carry it with two people and holding
the product shell and not external parts (such as han- dles, electrodes,
knobs, etc.).
⚫ When carrying, be prepared to bear the weight to avoid sprains or being
crushed by heavy objects.
⚫ Use suitable safety clothing, especially safety shoes, when carrying the
equipment, as due to its weight a fall can have serious consequences.

After unpacking the cabinet product, if you need to move it to other places, you
must pay attention to the following matters to ensure the safety of equipment
and personnel.

⚫ The cabinet product is very heavy. Before moving to another loca- tion,
confirm whether the ground load is in compliance.
⚫ During the process of moving the cabinet, it is recommended that two
or more people cooperate and push it slowly and at a constant speed.
If you encounter a pit, you need to pay special attention. It is forbidden
to push it quickly, otherwise it will easily cause excessive inertia and
cause the casters at the bottom of the cabinet to jam and the cabinet
to fall.
⚫ It is not advisable to push down the slope to prevent the cabinet from
falling down due to the shift of the center of gravity. It is rec- ommended

DUT during the test can be easily retuned to the AC grid, rather than being
dissipated as heat. which protects the environment and lowers the cost of
operation. It can be applied to the applications in testing grid-tied products that
inject energy into the grid, such as the frequency changes, voltage transients
and DC injection of grid-tied/off-grid inverters testing.

 System-Related Functions
seven pins are the same.
The IO-1~IO-7 pins provide default functions. Users can realize control
according 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
according to their needs.
When pins 1 to 7 are configured to Output function, when send the
command (IO:STATe 1/0) to instrument, the IO pin can output high level
(False) or low level (True).
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 external
signal.
⚫ Signal Revert
Select Invert or not under the IO Settings menu. If setting to OFF, it means
the default level will be valid. If setting to ON, it means the valid signal is
reversed. For example, the IO-1 pin is inhibit output by default and the high
level is valid, when select revert ON, the low level is valid and the instrument
output is disabled.

Digital IO-1
IO-1 pin can be set to 【Inhibit-latch】,【Inhibit-living】, 【Input】, 【Output】
The default function is inhibit output. When the IO pin is configured for a Inhibit
function and the level signal is low, the output of the machine is forbidden. At
this point, Pin 1 has a bi-directional I/O function, which can both receive the level
signal input from the external instrument and output the level signal
outward.default level is high, and low is valid when entering. Outgoing output
also generates low level signals.
Inhibit function has two mode: Latch and Living.
⚫ Living: When input an inhibit signal and the instrument output is turned OFF.
The status bar of the LCD screen displays INH warning icon and the output
is marked as OFF. If power supply output is ON state before, the ON/OFF
button will be lit. When the input signal undoes, the output returns to normal.
This function can be used to control the output of the power supply.

the protection state can be cleared through this pin, so that the instrument can
continue to output normally.
IO-2 is bi-directional, that is, when the power supply is in a protected state, the
instrument can receive a pulse signal from an external input through IO-2 for
clean protection operation, or when the power supply is in a protected state, the
clean protection can generate a pulse signal from IO-2.

Digital IO-3
IO-3 pin can be set to 【PS】, 【Input】, 【Output】

Copyright ©ITECH Electronic Co., Ltd. 84

 System-Related Functions
The default function is protection state indicator. IO-3 pin will output high or low
level based on whether the instrument is under protection or not. Under normal
conditions (Not under protection), and when pin3 is under default setting (Not

Chapter11 Remote Control

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.

11.1 USB Interface

Use cables with both USB ends to connect with IT7900 and PC. All functions
are programmable over the USB.
The USB488 interface capabilities are described below:
⚫ The interface is 488.2 USB488 interface.
⚫ The interface accepts REN_CONTROL, GO_TO_LOCAL, and
LOCAL_LOCKOUT requests.
⚫ The interface accepts MsgID = TRIGGER USBTMC command message
and forwards TRIGGER requests to the function layer.
The USB488 device functions are described below:
⚫ The device understands all mandatory SCPI commands.
⚫ The device is SR1 capable.
⚫ The device is RL1 capable.
The device is DT1 capable.

The operation steps to change the USB interface type in System Menu are as
follows.

1. Press the composite keys [Shift]+ (System) on the front panel

to en- ter the system menu.

Copyright ©ITECH Electronic Co., Ltd. 118

 Inspection and Installation

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.

Configure LAN Interface Information

The configurable parameters of the IT7900 series power supply are described
as follows.

LAN Config：
⚫ Mode: IP Address seting method, user can selectautomatically configure the
address of the instrument(DHCP) or manually.
⚫ 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-
