GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
HIGH ENERGY/HIGH VOLTAGE WARNINGS
Exercise caution when using and servicing power supplies. High energy
levels can be stored at the output voltage terminals on all power supplies in
normal operation. In addition, potentially lethal voltages exist in the power
circuit and the output connector of power supplies which are rated at 40V
and over. Filter capacitors store potentially dangerous energy for some time
after power is removed.
WARNING - SURFACE MAY BE HOT
During normal operation at 50°C ambient temperature, the power supply's
cover temperature may exceed 75°C.
OPERATING AND SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Operate the power supply in an environment free of flammable gases or
fumes. Do not use substitute parts or make any unauthorized modifications
to the power supply to ensure that its safety features are not degraded.
Contact the service technician for service and repair help. Repairs must be
made by experienced service technicians only.

1. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 Description
This series of power supplies provides low noise, precisely regulated, variable DC output at 1200 Watts of
output power. Over voltage protection and thermal shutdown are standard. Front panel controls and indicators
are extensive. Select from several remote control choices: standard analog programming, standard remote
monitoring of output voltage and current; optional isolated programming or readback, and optional GPIB
programming or RS-232 control. Use this power supply either on your bench or in a standard 19" rack: the
power supply occupies only 1.75" (1U) of vertical rack space. Designed for continuous use in standalone or
systems applications, this power supply is typically used to power DC equipment, control magnets, or burn in
components. See Table 1.1-1 for the list of available models.

2.1 Introduction
This section provides recommendations and procedures for insp ecting, installing, and testing the power supply.
Refer to the front and rear panel diagrams, Figure 2.3-1 and Figure 2.3-2, as necessary.
2.2 Basic Setup Procedure
See Table 2.2-1 for a summary of the basic setup procedure and an overall view of the subsections in Section 2.
Use the procedure as a quick reference if you are familiar with the installation requirements for the power
supply. If you want more information, each step in the procedure refers to subsequent sections which contain
more details. Execute each step in the sequence given.

2.3 Inspection, Cleaning, and Packaging
2.3.1 Initial Inspection
When you first receive your unit, perform a quick physical check.
1. Inspect the unit for scratches and cracks, and for broken switches, connectors, and displays. See Figure
2.3-1 and Figure 2.3-2.
2. Have the service technician check the printed circuit board and its components if you suspect internal
damage.
If the unit is damaged, save all packing materials and notify the carrier immediately. See packing instructions in
Section 2.3.3.
