Single- and Dual-Axis Scanning Galvo Systems for Large Beam Diameters
3.2.2 Using the GPS011 Linear Power Supply
The unit must be connected only to an earthed (grounded) mains power outlet.
1) Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear panel of the unit - see Fig. 3.5.

Caution
Both switching and linear power supplies can be used with the Thorlabs galvo
systems, however it is important to limit the inrush current when the power
supply is turned on, in order to ensure that the power supply reservoir
capacitors on the board are not damaged by the large surge currents that can
occur on power-up. Most power supplies naturally “soft start” when they are
switched on at the mains side and provide inrush current limiting. If, however,
the power supply is turned on at the output (DC) side, it can output its peak
current instantaneously. In this case it is important to limit this peak current to
less than 2 Amps.
Note
The unit is supplied with the input voltage and fuses configured to be compatible in
the region to which it was shipped. No further adjustment should be necessary.
