1 Safety Summary

The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and

must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Before

applying power, follow the installation instructions and become familiar with the operating

instructions for this instrument.

GROUND THE INSTRUMENT

To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to

an electrical ground. This instrument is grounded through the ground conductor of

the supplied, three-conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be plugged

into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Do not alter the ground

connection. Without the protective ground connection, all accessible conductive

parts (including control knobs) can render an electric shock. The power jack and

mating plug of the power cable meet IEC safety standards.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite

safety hazard.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS

Instrument covers must not be removed by operating personnel. Component

replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance

personnel. Disconnect the power cord before removing the instrument covers and

replacing components. Under certain conditions, even with the power cable

removed, dangerous voltages may exist. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power

and discharge circuits before touching them.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE

Do not attempt any internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of

rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY THE INSTRUMENT

Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modifications to this

instrument. Return the instrument to B&K Precision for service and repair to ensure

that safety features are maintained.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING and CAUTION statements, such as the following examples, denote a

hazard and appear throughout this manual. Follow all instructions contained in

these statements.

A WARNING statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or

condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in injury or death to

personnel.

A CAUTION statement calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or

condition, which, if not followed correctly, could result in damage to or destruction

of parts or the entire product.

WARNING:

Do not alter the ground connection. Without the protective ground

connection, all accessible conductive parts (including control knobs)

can render an electric shock. The power jack and mating plug of the

power cable meet IEC safety standards.

WARNING:

To avoid electrical shock hazard, disconnect power cord before

removing covers. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

CAUTION:

Before connecting the

line cord to the AC mains, check the rear panel

AC line voltage indicator. Applying a line voltage other than the

indicated voltage can destroy the AC line fuses. For continued fire

protection, replace fuses only with those of the specified voltage and

current ratings.

CAUTION:

This product uses components which can be damaged by electro-

static discharge (ESD). To avoid damage, be sure to follow proper

procedures for handling, storing and transporting parts and

subassemblies which contain ESD-sensitive components.

SAFETY SYMBOLS

This symbol on an instrument indicates that the user should refer to the

operating instructions located in the manual.

Certification

We certify that this product met its published specifications at time of shipment from the

factory.

2 Introduction

B&K Precision models 1685B, 1687B, and 1688B are laboratory grade switching mode

DC power supplies with high current output in a small form factor and lightweight

package. The 1685B Series provides various configurations of output voltage and

current, and make setting voltage and current levels fast and precise through its dual

action, coarse/fine rotary encoder control knobs. In addition to its constant voltage

(CV) and constant current (CC) modes, the high efficiency DC power supply offers a

unique solution with its preset and analog remote control modes. Save up to three

different presets of voltage and current values for quick recall. The analog remote

control function allows the output power, voltage, and current to be adjusted

without touching the front panel of the power supply. These features make the

1685B Series suitable for a wide range of applications including production testing,

telecommunications, R&D, service, and university labs.
