CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the unit, do not connect the Enable + or Enable –
terminals to the positive or negative output terminals.
terminals to the positive or negative output terminals.
Enable/Disable terminals are available on the J1 connector to enable
or disable the power supply output. This function is level-triggered.
Simply connect a switch or relay between J1 pins 1 and 14. This
function is activated by SW1 setup switch 9.

To re-enable the output after it has shut down, you must short the
Enable + and Enable – terminals. In Auto-Restart mode, operation
resumes automatically. In Safe-Start mode the Enable/Disable
function is latched. You must also press the OUT ON button or send
an OUTPut:PROTection:CLEar command to resume operation.

Power Supply OK Signal
The Power Supply OK signal on the J1 connector indicates a fault
condition in the power supply. J1 pin 16 is a TTL output signal. Pins
2 and 3, which are connected internally, are the signal common. All
pins are optically isolated from the power supply output. With no
fault, Power Supply OK is high, with a maximum source current of
2mA. When a fault occurs, Power Supply OK is low, with a maximum
sink current of 1mA. The following faults set this signal low:

Safe-Start and Auto-Restart
The power supply can be programmed to have either the last
operating settings (Auto-Restart) or the reset settings (Safe-Start)
apply at turn-on. Press and hold the OUT ON button to select between
Safe-Start and Auto-Restart modes. The display continuously cycles
between SAF and AUT every three seconds. Releasing the OUT ON
button while one of the modes is displayed, selects that mode.

In Safe-Start mode, the power supply turns on with the reset
settings (see chapter 5 under “*RST”). The output is disabled and the
output voltage and current are zero. This is the factory default.
