83-517-000 Rev. A
External Analog Programming and Monitoring standard (0-5V or 0-10V, user selectable).
Cooling fan speed control for low noise and extended fan life.
Zero stacking-no ventilation holes at the top and bottom surface of the power supply.
Optional LAN Interface (LXI compliant), GPIB Interface (SCPI compatible) or USB Interface (USB 2.0
compliant).
Optional Isolated Analog programming/monitoring (0-5V or 0-10V, user selectable and 4-20mA).
Multiple Output Power System 1.2.4
The Genesys
TM
power supplies series can be configured into a programmable power system of up to 31 units
using the built-in /RS-485 communication port in the power supply and the RS-485 linking cable provided with
each power supply.
In a LAN, GPIB or USB system, each power supply can be controlled using the optional LAN, GPIB or USB
controller (factory installed).
Control Via the Serial Communication Port 1.2.5
The following parameters can be programmed / monitored via the serial communication port:
1. Output voltage setting.
2. Output current setting.
3. Output voltage measurement.
4. Output ON/OFF control.
5. Output current measurement.
6. FOLDback protection setting.
7. Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) setting and readback.
8. Under-Voltage Limit (UVL) setting and readback.
9. Power-supply start-up mode (Safe-Start or Auto-Restart mode).
Analog Voltage Programming and Monitoring 1.2.6
Analog inputs and outputs are provided at the rear panel
for analog control of the power supply. The output voltage and the current limit can be programmed by analog
voltage or by resistor and can be monitored by analog voltage. The power supply output can be remotely set to
On or Off and analog signals monitor the proper operation of the power supply and the mode of operation
(CV/CC).
Parallel operation 1.2.7
Genesys™ power supplies of the same output voltage and current rating can be paralleled in a master-slave
configuration with automatic current sharing to increase power available.
Output Connections 1.2.8
Output connections are made to rear panel bus-bars for models up to 100V and to a 4-terminal wire clamp
connector for models above 100V rated output voltage. Either the positive or negative terminal may be grounded
or the output may be floated. Models up to 60VDC Rated Output shall not float outputs more than +/- 60VDC
above/below chassis ground. Models > 60VDC Rated Output shall not float outputs more than +/-600VDC
above/below chassis ground.Contact the factory for assistance with higher float voltage applications.
Local or remote sense may be used. In remote sense, the voltage drop on the load wires should be minimized.
Refer to the specifications for the maximum voltage drop value.
Cooling and Mechanical Construction 1.2.9
The Genesys™ series is cooled by internal fans. At the installation, care must be taken to allow free airflow into
the power supply via the front panel and out of the power supply via the rear panel. The Genesys
TM
power
supplies have a compact and lightweight package, which allows easy installation and space saving in the
application equipment.
CAUTION
Observe all torque guidelines within this manual. Over-torquing may
damage unit or accessories. Such damage is not covered under
manufacturers warranty.
