C. Turn off the power supply and the equipment to be powered during hook-up.
D. Connect the positive polarity of the device being powered to the red (+) terminal of the power supply.
E. Connect the negative polarity of the device being powered to the black (-) terminal of the power supply.
F.
Fig.5-2 illustrates the connection procedure.

5-4-2. Series Tracking Operation
When the series tracking mode of operation is selected, the positive (red) terminal of the SLAVE supply output
is internally connected to the negative (black) terminal of the MASTER supply.
In the series tracking mode, the maximum output voltage of both MASTER and SLAVE supplies can be
simultaneously varied with one control. The maximum SLAVE supply voltage is automatically set to the same
value as the MASTER supply by using the MASTER VOLTAGE controls.
A. Set the power supplies to the TRACKING SERIES mode by engaging the left TRACKING switch and
release the right TRACKING switch. In this case, the output voltage (across the two supplies) is actually
double the displayed value.
For example, if the MASTER display is set for voltage metering and the SLAVE display for current metering,
the output voltage across the MASTER positive (red) terminal and the SLAVE negative (black) terminal
would be double the reading on the MASTER LED Display (since both supplies are putting out the same
voltage). The actual output current would be the value read from the SLAVE LED Display (since the two
supplies are wired in series, current flowing through each supply must be equal).
B. Set the SLAVE CURRENT control the fully clockwise position. The maximum current is set using the
MASTER CURRENT control. Follow the instructions for "Setting Current Limit" (INDEPENDENT USE OF
"MASTER" OR "SLAVE" SUPPLY section of this manual, using the MASTER CURRENT control.
NOTE:
Because the supplies are being used in series, either CURRENT control can be used to set maximum
current. If desired, the MASTER CURRENT control can be rotated fully clockwise and the SLAVE
CURRENT control can be used to adjust the maximum current value. Because current through the two
supplies must be equal when they are being used in series, the lower CURRENT control setting will set
the maximum output current.
C. Adjust the output voltage to the desired level using the MASTER VOLTAGE controls.
D. Turn off the power supply and the equipment to be powered during hook-up.
