K15 POWER SUPPLY TEST PROCEDURE
DRAWING# 910050-801 kV
K15 Power Supply
MANUFACTURING CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
1.0 The Korad K15 power supply is designed for use with the K15, KWD and KHD series lasers. The function of this supply is to charge the storage capacitor bank to a selected voltage at a fast rate. For a complete description of the K15 supply and controls, see the "K15 Power Supply Instruction Manual".
The purpose of this procedure is not to describe the K15 supply, but instead, provide an easy and safe method of testing and calibrating the supply. For this purpose, a special test fixture has been provided to test the supply.
2.0 EQUIPMENT NEEDED
a. K15 test fixture
b. Oscilloscope
c. 5 Kilojoule head with lamp and heat exchanger
d. DC hypot
3.0 HOOKUP
a. Connect the supply to the test fixture as shown in Figure 1.
4.0 SHORT CIRCUIT TEST
a. Before plugging in the 240 volt line plug, turn the power switch (on the supply) on.
b. Place an ohmmeter across the 240 volt line (across the switch terminals is convenient) and read approximately 12 ohms.
c. Place and ohmmeter from onee switch terminal to ground and read greater than 2 megahoms.
d. Repeat Step C for the other switch terminal.
e. Turn supply power switch off.
f. Plug 240 volt line connector into outlet.

c. With the exception of the kilovolt dial, leave all controls as in 10.0 step (a) and (b). Turn the kilovolt dial to 3.00 kV push the manual button and verify that the supply charges to 3.00 kV and stop. If supply reads high or low, push the dump button, adjust R12 (on logic card) push the manual button to recharge the supply. Repeat this process until the meter reads 3.00 kV exactly.
d. Repeat Step (c) with the kilovolt dial set at 4.00 kV
e. Push dump button to discharge high voltage.
11.0 Operational Test
a. Connect a 5 Kilojoule head (with heat exchanger) to the lamp connector in the back of the test fixture.
b. Set the controls as in paragraph 10.0 step (d).
Push the manual button and verify that the supply charges and fire lamp automatically at 4.00 kV
c. Make note of the shot counter reading.
d. With the control set as in Step (b), verify PPM dial is 10 PPM, push the automatic button and verify that supply charges and fire automatically every 6 seconds for 5 minutes.
e. Verify that the shot counter has advanced.
12.0 To Select a H.V. Shut-Down Resistor
a. Turn the HV switch (S5 on the test panel OFF.
b. Turn the supply off and discharge the capacitor bank.
c. Disconnect the cable from J4 (H.V. out).
d. Connect a DC hypot across J4, or any point common to J4, and ground the hypot should be a negative supply with a positive ground.
e. Hook a variable resistor or a resistance substitution box (about 20 K to start) across K2 pin 2 and ground.
f. Set the kilovolt dial to 5.00 kV Make sure S5 on the test panel is OFF; all other controls on the test panel may be disregarded at this point.
g. Turn the supply's power switch on.
h. Push the charge button. No H.V. Voltage will be present.
i. Turn the hypot on and increase the voltage to 5.3 kV Note that the meter on the supply will read off scale.
j. Increase the variable resistor across K2 pin 2 until the supply automatically dumps itself. QUICKLY TURN THE HYPOT VOLTAGE TO ZERO TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE CURRENT.
k. Measure the value of the resistance and replace it with a fixed resistor as close as possible with the same value.
13.0 To Remove Supply From the Test Fixture
a. Turn supply off. Use the discharge rod to discharge the capacitor bank.
