This manual contains instructions for the operation and maintenance of the 600W, 1KW,
2KW, 2.5KW, and 5KW EMS power supply series manufactured by Lambda EMI, Inc. of
Neptune, NJ. The EMS series has been developed specifically for laboratory test and burn-in
applications. The EMS supply produces a well regulated adjustable DC voltage or current
source.
NOTE: This manual contains information, instructions and diagrams which apply to a
variety of standard constructions. If special features or modifications have been installed,
the specific instructions peculiar to that modification are contained in Addenda and take
precedence where conflicts exist. Please take care to refer to the correct information for
your unit.
1.2SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All EMS power supplies are designed to minimize the risk of fire or shock hazard operation.
This instrument received comprehensive mechanical and electrical inspection prior to
shipment. Nevertheless, certain safety precautions must be observed. Only technically
competent personnel familiar with the principles of electrical safety should operate this
supply. To prevent fire or shock hazard, the power supply should not be exposed to water or
moisture. Electrical safety should be maintained at all times.
Lethal voltages are developed within the power supply's enclosure. Therefore, the power
supply must always be unplugged prior to removing the cover. If the input to the power
supply is hardwired, the circuit breaker must be secured and the line fuses removed.
Of course, dangers are inherent in high voltage equipment. However, a power supply with a
low voltage output is also potentially dangerous considering the amount of energy (current)
the supply is capable of delivering. In addition to the steady state energy available, power
supplies are typically terminated by very large capacitors, which can deliver huge surge
currents capable of vaporizing metallic objects such as screwdrivers or jewelry. This could
result in molten metal being sprayed. Proper care and judgment must always be observed.
1. Ensure all covers are in place and securely fastened and the required ground is connected
prior to supplying input AC power.
2. Proper grounding from the input AC power is required to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Ensure that the ground connected has at least the same gauge wire as the supply leads.
3. Where high leakage exists and there is a warning label on the rear panel, the protective
earth ground must be connected. ( Symbol for protective earth ground).
4. Use extreme caution when connecting input AC power and never apply the incorrect
input voltage, refer to ratings label.

1.3.4 TRANSIENT RESPONSE
The voltage transient resulting from switching the load from 70% to 100% of full load will
be less than 10% of the maximum output voltage of the supply. The voltage will recover to
±2% of its original value within 650 µs for units up to 20v. For units above 20 volts the
recovery time is increased by a factor of V
1.3.5 STABILITY
Maximum deviation in either voltage or current mode for an eight (8) hour period is 0.05%
of max. output under conditions of constant line, load and temperature.
1.3.6 REMOTE PROGRAMMING
All EMS models are capable of being remotely programmed by means of an external
resistance, external DC voltage source or an external DC Current source. The remote
programming controls all switching action in the power supply. The following table provides
the remote programming accuracy at full output.

1.5.2 OPERATING TEMPERATURE
All EMS power supplies are capable of continuous duty performance without deviation from
their specifications in ambient temperatures between 0°C and 50°C. The output voltage
temperature coefficient is 0.02%/°C of the rated output voltage. The output current
temperature coefficient is 0.03%/°C of the rated output current. For ambient temperatures
between 50°C and 70°C the supply's output power is de-rated by a factor of 5% per 1°C.
Units may be safely stored at temperatures of -55°C to +85°C.
1.6OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
Automatic protection against excessive temperatures is provided by a thermostat mounted on
the heat sink. If the heat sink temperature reaches allowable maximu m temperature, the unit
will shut down to prevent damage. An automatic restart circuit will be activated once safe
operating temperature levels are restored.
1.7OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION (FOR OUTPUTS ≤ 300 VDC)
The Overvoltage protection circuitry, adjustable from the front panel, is standard on all EMS
models. This circuitry will short circuit (crowbar) the power supply's output to protect the
load, and turns the control circuitry off if the output voltage reaches the preset value. This
protection is effective regardless of the cause of the overvoltage.
1.8RSTL CONTROLLER BOARD
This is an optional board that can be installed at the customer’s request. Units which have
RSTL installed have all the features of a standard unit except Remote Sense. The
installation of the RSTL would require an additional 1.75” to the height of the power supply.
The board is designed for remote computer control, functionally duplicating the controls on
the front panel of the power supply. These controls select the programming levels (Voltage
and Current), and provide metering of the supply’s output. The RSTL, when set in the
REMOTE mode, disables the front panel controls (the meters still read), and asserts control
of the power supply. RSTL is not currently available in CE models. Contact the factory for
further information.
