Raytheon Sorensen QRD 15-2 Power Supply Documentation

[sacron]

Hello! Would anyone happen to have any documentation regarding this power supply or power supply series (QRD)? Someone on this site has already provided some spec/sales related documentation with respect to the QRD power supplies, but it doesn't offer much.

I recently became the owner of two of these power supplies, but I can't seem to understand how to operate them. I suspect they're either faulty or have had their default settings altered (they were previously used in an industrial setting, I believe). These are the first adjustable power supplies I've ever laid my hands on, so I'm likely way in over my head. Apologies if this sort of thread belongs on a different board!

QRD's were very common and now somewhat of a dinosaur.
We have tons of Sorensen stuff around here and lots of manuals
in the file cabinet. I'll look and see what is there. I don't think
we own anything smaller than 40-2, but I think the manuals
cover several models. Most of ours PWM the input to the power
transformer and my two biggest problems are open capacitors
in the control circuits and poor connections at the edge connectors.
I see every one of our supplies about once every two years because
it is reportedly 'acting strange'.

I'll scan the manual tomorrow and upload it to this thread on the weekend.

The manual includes a schematic together with the parts list and covers the following models:

• QRD 15-2
• QRD 30-1
• QRD 40-.75
• QRD 60-.5
• QRD 20-4
• QRD 40-2
• QRD 60-1.5

I've scanned the manual but unfortunately the resulting PDF too large (approx. 35 MB) to be posted here. I've therefore uploaded it to the KO4BB-Website where the file is under review right now. I'll post a link to the file as soon as the file is out of the review process.

Looking forward to it!

Looking forward to it!

Sorry that you had to wait a month for it, I didn't expect the review process to take this long
