DC Asterion Series  Overview  
M330460-01  Rev A  1-7 
Internal to power supply, signal output is from driver with input connected to open-collector 
of opto-isolator transistor 
Voltage Rating: Maximum 30 V, Minimum 4.5V for Active High, Current Maximum 0.5 A 
Output Signal, High state indicates fault state of the power supply. There is an Option to 
feed User Power to the FAULT signal.

User 
programmable 
digital inputs 
Four digital inputs to the power supply. Two of the digital inputs can be used as enable 
signals for user programmable digital outputs.  
Signal  connects  to  Open-anode  of  opto-isolator  diode  with  internal  1kΩ  series  resistor 
internal to power supply 
Voltage Rating: Maximum 24 V, Minimum -5V 
Low state 0.3 V max, High State 2.7 V min 
User 
programmable 
digital outputs 
Four  digital  outputs  that  can be  enabled/  disabled  from  the  power  supply.  Two  digital 
outputs  can  be  controlled  by  giving  appropriate  signals  on  User  programmable  digital 
inputs.   There is an Option to feed User Power to these digital outputs.  
Voltage  Rating:  Min  4.5V  or  User  fed  voltage  minus  1  V.  User  fed  voltage  can  be  of 
maximum 30 V.  
Current Maximum: 0.5 A 
Two Auxiliary power  outputs of 15 V  and 5 V.    These auxiliary power outputs  can be 
controlled from the power supply or by giving appropriate signals on the digital input enable 
pins provided for the same. 
Maximum current for the Auxiliary power output: 1 A

  Unit  is  rated  for  +/-  1%  Accuracy  at  5V/10V  for  Voltage  Programming,  and  5kOhm/10kOhm  for  Resistive 
Programming 
±600 V(PK), maximum, with respect to chassis ground. 
Reference  of  standard  Non-Isolated 
Analog  programming  and  external  user 
interface to output negative terminal 
The standard Non-Isolated Analog programming and  external  user 
interface signals are referenced to the negative output terminal and, 
therefore, is not isolated from the output. 
Isolation  of  optional  Isolated  Analog 
programming and external user interface to 
output negative terminal 
1000  V(PK), maximum;  optional Isolated Analog programming and 
external user interface signals are galvanically isolated from negative 
output terminal; operation of Isolated Analog Interface signals should 
be at SELV safety voltage conditions to chassis ground.
