User Manual
While in parallel connection mode, the output voltage of each power supply should be set
to equal value. If the voltage value of each unit is not the same, the higher output voltage
will feed back to the lower voltage unit and damage its internal components.
DO NOT connect multiple power supplies in series as it will cause damage or
malfunction.
When connecting in parallel mode, only the MASTER unit can be controlled by a computer
for remote communication. There is also a decrease in speed and performance with each
additional SLAVE units connected in parallel and linked together. The voltage and current
scan speed, which affects synchronization between the supplies, between the slave units
and the master unit will increase based on the following formula:
200 + 50 * (N – 1) (in milliseconds)
where N is the number of units in parallel. Please note as more units are
paralleled and linked together, speed will become slower. Thus, we do not
recommend paralleling too many units with this setup to ensure fast
performance and operation.
If the application requires connecting more than 10 units in parallel operation, we
advise to contact us at
