Connection and Setup

Connecting multiple power supplies in parallel or in series can increase the overall current

output or voltage output respectively. For this configuration to function properly, there are

several items that must be set up first. Follow the instructions in this section carefully for setup.

Connection

Determine the total number of power supplies that you want to connect in parallel or series.

Disable the output of the power supplies and power OFF the power supplies.

WARNING: For safety, always turn OFF the power supplies before connecting or

disconnecting wires to the output terminal.

For parallel connection:

Connect each power supplies’ positive (+) terminals together. Do the same for the negative (-)

terminals.

For series connection:

Connect one power supply’s positive (+) terminal to the negative (-) terminal of another. Do the

same for all the power supplies.

Then, connect all of the power supplies’ Pin 1 of the RS-485 interface together. Do the same for

Pin 5.

Below illustrates the connection diagram for parallel connection.

Note: Be sure to use wires that can support the amount of output current that you want

to output from the power supplies. Refer to “2.2 Output Connections” for details.
