User Manual AMETEK Programmable Power
RS Series 11
1. Introduction
This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation, calibration and
maintenance of all power systems that use the RS Series power sources with the programmable
controller.
1.1 General Description
The RS Series AC and DC power source systems are high efficiency, floor standing AC and DC
power sources that provide a precise output with low distortion. Available voltage ranges are
150 Vac, 300 Vac and 400 Vac in AC mode and 200 Vdc and 400 Vdc in DC mode. All models
provide three-phase output mode in either AC, DC and AC+DC mode of operation. In DC mode,
this implies there are three DC outputs with individual voltage programming on each output.
All RS-3Pi models provide features such as arbitrary waveform generation harmonics analysis,
standard RS232C, USB, IEEE-488 interfaces and an available LAN option.
The RS Series units are contained in a floor standing enclosure on casters. This allows the units
to be moved around more easily.
Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate the RS Series
power systems.
1.2 Manual organization and format
All user documentation for California Instruments power sources is provided on CDROM in
electronic format. (Adobe Portable Document Format) The required Adobe PDF viewer is
available for download from the www.adobe.com website. This manual may be printed for
personal use if a hardcopy is desired. To request a hardcopy from AMETEK Programmable
Power, contact customer service at service.ppd@ametek.com There will be a charge for printed
manuals.
This manual contains sections on installation, normal use, maintenance and calibration. If the
RS system is equipped with a GPIB, RS232C, USB or LAN interface, refer to the RS
Programming manual for information on using the remote control interfaces and command
syntax. The programming manual is provided on the same CDROM as this user manual.
