1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. User Manual Content
This User’s Manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions and
specifications of the Genesys
TM
10kW and 15kW Power Supply series. The instructions
refer to the standard power supplies, including the built-in RS-232/RS-485 serial
communication. For information related to operation with the optional IEEE programming
interface, refer to User’s Manual for Power Supply IEEE/IEMD Programming Interface.
For information related to operation with the optional LXI certified LAN programming
interface, refer to the User’s Manual for Power Supply LAN Programming Interface.
1.2. Introduction
1.2.1. General Description
Genesys
TM
power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power
supplies. The Genesys
TM
series is power factor corrected and operates from specified
AC voltage range continuously. Output voltage and Output current are continuously
displayed and LED indicators show the complete operating status of the Power Supply.
The Front panel controls allow the user to set the output parameters, the protections
levels (Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage limit and Foldback) and preview the
settings. 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 (RS-232/RS-485). LXI certified LAN programming, GPIB programming
and Isolated-Analog programming/Monitoring (5V/10V and 4-20mA) are optional
1.2.2. Features and Options
 Constant Voltage / Constant Current with automatic crossover.
 Passive power factor correction (PFC).
 Embedded Microprocessor Controller.
 Built-in RS-232/RS-485 Interface.
 Voltage & Current high resolution adjustment by digital encoders.
 High accuracy programming/ readback.
 Software Calibration (no internal trimmers/potentiometers)
 Last Setting Memory.
 Independent Remote ON/OFF (opto-isolated) and remote Enable/Disable.
 Parallel operation (Master/Slave) with Active current sharing.
 Remote sensing to compensate for voltage drop of power leads.
 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 required at the top and bottom surface of the power
supply.
 Optional LXI certified LAN (Class C) and IEEE 488.2 interfaces are SCPI compliant.
 Optional Isolated Analog programming/monitoring (0-5V/0-10V, user selectable, or
4-20mA).
1.2.3. Multiple Output Power System
The Genesys
TM
Power Supply series can be configured into a programmable power
system of up to 31 units using the built-in RS-232/RS-485 communication port and the
RS-485 Linking cable.
In a GPIB system, each Power Supply can be controlled using the optional GPIB
interface (factory installed).
