CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 User Manual Content
This safety & installation manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions of the
™ 5000W power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard & Blank power
supplies, including the built-in USB, LAN and RS232/485 serial communication. For information related
to operation with the optional GPIB communication interface, refer to User manual (Chapter 8) in the
CD-ROM.
1.2 Introduction
1.2.1 General Description
™ Series power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies.
The ™ Series is power factor corrected and operates from worldwide AC voltage range
continuously. Output voltage and current are continuously displayed and indicators show the complete
operating status of the power supply (in the standard units). The Front Panel controls allow the user to
set the output parameters, the protection levels (Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage protection
and Foldback) and preview the settings (in the standard units). The rear panel includes the necessary
connectors to control and monitor the power supply operation by remote analog signals or by the built-
in serial communication USB, RS232/485, and LAN.
IEEE is optional.
1.2.2 Multiple Output Power System
The ™ power supplies series can be configured into a programmable power system of up to
31 units using the built-in LAN, USB, or RS232/RS485 communication port in the power supply and
the RS485 linking cable provided with each power supply.
For further information regarding LAN interface, refer to the User manual (Chapter 5) in the CD-ROM.
For further information regarding optional IEEE interface, refer to the User manual (Chapter 8) in the
CD-ROM.
