Section 1
Description of Equipment
The RS-3000 functions as a user interface for the T3000 resistive power supply, and
supplies the control voltages needed to operate the T3000. The RS-3000 also displays
system faults in text message form or by indicator LEDs.
The RS-3000 can be controlled from the front panel, with a hand controller (or pendant), or
via the back-panel RS-232 connection.
Programmable parameters include: Maximum current, current ramp time, ramp current,
beeper control, and communication settings (mode, speed).
For uses requiring PID control loop capability, a remote control unit (such as the STC-2000)
can be connected to the RS-3000.
