ImportantSafetyInstructions

Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your particular application.

WARNING

Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform installation and servicing.

Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.

Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any cable.

In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis. However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user must ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.

Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.

Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury, loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.

Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment. Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above (below) chassis ground.

The equipment used contains ESD sensitive parts. When installin g equipment, follow ESD Safety Procedures. Electrostatic discharges might cause damage to the equipment.

Introduction

Section 1. Features and Specifications

Introduction

The HPD Series of DC power supplies provides highly stable, variable output voltage and current for a broad range of development and syst em requirements. These units employ high frequency switchi ng regulator technology to achieve high power density and small package size, as well as a linear post-regulator circuit for low output noise and fast response. A wide variety of options is available, including both analog and IEEE-488 controlled progr amming, to make this series the first



• High frequency switching technology allows high power densit y, providing

increased power output in a small, light, package.

• The power supply delivers simultaneous digital displays for both voltage and

current, and bar graph displays for monitoring transient changes, which gives the user the benefit of continuous, up-to-date information.

• Ten-tu rn vo ltage control permits high resolution setting of the output voltag e.

• Current limit is fully adjustable from zero to the rat ed output with a s ingle tu rn

control.

• The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automat icall y

switch operating modes into current or voltage mode.

• Impedance-switched remote sensing lets operators display the voltage at the load

with no switch ambiguity.

• Multiple units can be connected in parallel or series to produce greater divers ity.

• Short-circuit-proof power outlets give greater op erating sa fe ty.

• These power supplies (available in single and dual outputs) can be co mbined

with one or more 60 watt series power supplies to create mixed units th at are ideal for high precision applications.
