The ASX-Series Power Source will deliver up to 125% of rated RMS output current at 25°C
ambient room temperature, nominal through 10% high input line voltage, and at a power factor
of 0.8. Elevated ambient temperatures, low input line voltage, or power factors between 0.8 and
1.0 will increase the internal dissipation of the power source and can cause overload shutdown
due to over-temperature conditions. Length of time to reach over-temperature varies with the
models and the above parameters.

2.2.4 CHASSIS SLIDE MOUNTS
The chassis of most ASX-Series Power Source models is designed to accept slide rails. These
are provided as a cost option. For more information, contact your local sales representative or
the Pacific Power Source Sales Office.
2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS
The environmental requirements of the ASX-Series Power Sources are:
2.3.1 TEMPERATURE RANGE
The ASX-Series Power Source is rated for full operation in ambient temperatures of 0 - 55°C and
where the relative humidity is in the range of 0 - 95%, non-condensing.
SECTION 2 SPECIFICATIONS
2.3.2 COOLING
The ASX-Series Power Source utilizes thermally regulated forced-air cooling to maintain proper
temperatures throughout. The maximum airflow of the 140/160/345/360-ASX Magnetics Module
is 100 CFM. The maximum airflow of the Models 115-ASX, 120-ASX, 315-ASX, 320-ASX, and
the 3120-ASX Magnetics Module is 200 CFM. The maximum airflow of the Models 140-ASX,
160-ASX, 345-ASX, and 360-ASX is 300 CFM. The maximum airflow of the Model 3120-ASX is
600 CFM.
2.3.3 THERMAL PROTECTION
The input power transformer is configured with a thermocouple which senses its temperature.
Additionally, the power amplifier assemblies are also configured with temperature sensors.
When the transformer or any power amplifier exceeds maximum safe operating temperature, the
output relays are opened and the Shutdown LED, located on the front panel, is lighted.
The shutdown fault is implemented such that it must be manually reset. The fault can be reset
after the over-temperature condition has ceased to exist and the Output Power Switch is placed
in the "OFF" position. Sending an Output Off command via the remote interface (applies to
programmable systems only) also resets the shutdown fault, provided that the condition which
originally caused the shutdown has been cleared. If the Output On/Off command is sent via the
remote interface and the shutdown condition has not been cleared, the power source will remain
in the shutdown state until the offending condition has cleared.

SECTION 3 INSTALLATION
3.1 CHASSIS PLACEMENT (cont.)
The first step in setting the chassis into place is to remove it from its shipping container. The next
step is to select an appropriate location for the unit. Key points to consider when locating the
chassis are:
1. PROXIMITY TO THE LOAD - The power source should be located as close to the load as
possible. This helps to reduce distribution losses. These losses become more critical as
the output frequency increases.
2. VENTILATION - The chassis requires good ventilation to adequately cool the internal
components. Airflow ranges from 100 to 600 CFM. A minimum of 12 inches front and
back clearance is recommended for proper operation of the Models 140-ASX, 160-ASX,
345-ASX, 360-ASX, 3120-ASX, and the 3120-ASX Magnetics Module. The air intake for
the Models 115-ASX, 120-ASX, 315-ASX, 320-ASX, and the 140/160/345/360-ASX
Magnetics Module is located on both sides near the front. A minimum clearance of two
inches on each side and 12 inches to the rear is required for proper operation of these
models.
When the chassis is placed in a 19 inch rack, it must be supported by either chassis slides or full
depth angle brackets. The front panel alone will not support the weight of the chassis. Chassis
slides are available from Pacific Power Source as a cost option. Call factory service for details.
After the location for the chassis is selected, verify that the input voltage of the power source is
correct (Input voltage is stated on the system ID label). If it requires changing, refer to Paragraph
3.3 for instructions.
Also check that the output voltage range is that which is desired. If not, reconfigure to the desired
form as directed by Paragraph 3.2.
After the input voltage form and output voltage range have been verified as correct, slide the
chassis into the rack or set it into its final position. Make input and output connections as stated in
paragraphs 3.3 and 3.4, respectively.
If either the Remote Interface (GPIB or RS-232) or External Sense feature is to be used, refer to
paragraphs 3.6 and 3.8 for connection

factory as ordered. The System ID label or Magnetics Module ID label will state the factory
configured voltage range. If the output voltage range specified on the System ID label or
Magnetics Module ID label is that which is desired, no further action is required. Otherwise,
reconfiguration is required.
Configuration of the Output voltage consists of
1) Verifying that the appropriate output transformer taps have been selected.
2) Verifying the proper setting of the Transformer Ratio Setting within the UPC.
3) Verifying the proper setting of the Amps to Volts Ratio Setting within the UPC
4) Calibration of the system.

Module is wired for the 2.0:1 ratio and the Transformer Ratio Setting of the UPC-3 is set for 2.0.
Likewise, conversion to the 338 VAC Output Range (VR2.5) proceeds as above, except that the
Magnetics Module is wired for the 2.5:1 ratio and the Transformer Ratio Setting of the UPC-3 is set
for 2.5.
The Transformer Ratio Setting of the UPC-3 is set to 0.0 on systems without transformer-coupled
outputs.
While the above procedure can be performed in the field, Pacific Power Source recommends that
the system be returned to the factory when transformer-coupled outputs are to be added to the
system. This insures proper connection and calibration of the entire system.

3.4.4 TRANSFORMER OUTPUTS - SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
OUTPUT GROUNDING
The output of the ASX-Series Power Source is electrically isolated from the input power and earth
ground. This allows the user to establish a local ground for the output of the Power Source. The
ASX-Series Power Source is designed to withstand voltage potentials of 150 VAC across the
Neutral output terminal and chassis ground.
For safe operation, a ground reference should be established from output to chassis. When using
the direct-coupled outputs, any leg or neutral may be connected to chassis. This is because the
line to neutral voltage cannot exceed 150 VAC. Hence, the voltage stress from neutral to chassis
never exceeds designed limits.
In the case of transformer-coupled outputs, neutral must be connected to chassis gnd (either
locally or remotely). This is due to the fact that line to neutral voltages can be greater than 150
VAC. If a phase voltage (V
150 VAC limit specified for the neutral to chassis voltage. Neutral must remain within 150 VAC of
chassis (earth ground) at all times.
LOW FREQUENCY OPERATION
ASX-Series output transformers are designed to operate from 45 to 5,000 Hz. In the case of
steady-state sine wave output, operation at frequencies as low as 30 Hz (125 VAC V
Systems with transformers connected to the output require special attention when designing
transient profiles (applicable to systems w/UPC). It is possible to design transients in which the DC
Component of the periodic waveform is not zero. Attempting to push DC voltage through the
transformer will cause saturation of the device. However, the output transformers are designed to
support a single event, half-cycle dropout at 125 VAC
operation with an asymmetrical (DC component ≠ 0) will cause saturation.
Operation at lower frequencies may cause saturation of the output transformers. Lower frequency
operation is possible, but only at reduced output voltages.

3.5 CONNECTION OF SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT (SCU)
This paragraph describes the connection of the System Control Unit (SCU) to an ASX-Series
Power Source.
Figure 3.5.1 shows the SCU connected to the Model 360-ASX Power Source. (Other models are
connected similarly.) In this configuration, the controller is removed from the power source chassis
and replaced with patch cables which route signals to the rear panel. Two shielded 30-conductor
(15 twisted pairs) cable assemblies are used to connect the SCU to the power source. The cables
are wired one-to-one and outfitted with DB-25P connectors on both ends. Hence, they cannot be
installed backwards. This interface is designed to operate with cable lengths up to 50 feet.
Cables, ten feet in length, are stocked by Pacific Power Source as P/N 134121. Contact Customer
Service for cables of lengths other than ten feet. Refer to the UPC-Series Operation Manual for
details regarding the SCU.
Note that in this configuration, Remote Interface ( GPIB or RS-232) and AUX I/O connections are
made at the SCU.
UPC INSTALLATION
The ASX-Series controller is modular in nature. This is a design feature which allows the user to
tailor the control characteristics of the system. While it is possible to change controllers in the field,
Pacific Power Source (PPS) recommends that the unit be returned to the factory when controller
exchange is desired. This insures proper installation and calibration of the system by PPS
technicians.
The installation of the UPC is described in the UPC-Series Operation Manual. The procedure is
stated for installation into the System Control Unit (SCU). Installation of the UPC into the power
source chassis proceeds in a similar manner. The primary difference between the various units is
the routing of the ribbon cables to the rear panel. Be sure to note the routing of these cables before
removing the existing controller; install the ribbon cables of the new UPC using the same routing.
After the new UPC is in place and connected, calibration is required. Refer to Section 6 of this
manual.

The UPC-Series programmable controller is supplied with one of two remote interfaces. These are
the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) or RS-232 Interface. Connection information relative to
these interfaces is described in detail in the UPC-Series Operation manual.
On systems outfitted with the SCU, all remote interface connections and configuration settings are
made at the SCU.
3.7 AUX I/O INSTALLATION
This paragraph describes connection of the AUXiliary Input/Output signals. These signals vary
between the different controllers. However the method of connection remains the same.
The AUX I/O connector contains synchronizing outputs (digital) and modulation inputs (analog).
These are extremely useful in certain test applications, particularly, single event phenomena.
Modulation inputs are also present on this connector. The use of any of these signals is optional
and connection to these points is required only when these features are used.
The AUX I/O connector is located on the rear panel of the power source (or SCU, when present)
and is labeled as such. This is a DB-25S connector. A DB-25P connector is required for
connection to AUX I/O connector.
On systems outfitted with the SCU, the AUX I/O connections are made at the SCU.
All signals contained within the AUX I/O connector are low-level (less than ±15 VDC) and are with
respect to earth ground reference. Refer to the appropriate controller operation manual for
complete definition of the signals present on the AUX I/O connector.

The ASX-Series Power Source contains External Sense Circuits. These circuits measure output
voltage at a external sense point. Since this feature can be completely disabled, the wiring detailed
in this paragraph is optional. If the External Sense feature is desired, this paragraph describes the
wiring requirements for the function.
WARNING
LETHAL VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE OUTPUT TERMINALS OF THIS MACHINE !
REFER OUTPUT CONNECTION TO A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Figures 3.8.1 and 3.8.2 show external sense wiring for 1, 2, and 3φ systems. There is little or no
current flowing through the External Sense Feedback lines. Standard 22 AWG, 600 Volt control
wire is recommended for this application. Twisting the External Sense wiring is recommended and,
in some cases, can improve performance. In noisy environments, shielding may become
necessary to improve performance. If shielded cable is used, be sure to ground the shield at one
end only to prevent the possibility of creating a ground loop.
When the neutral wire is not used by the load on a split phase output (2 Phase Output Mode, refer
to paragraph 3.4.2), connect the Neutral terminal of the External Sense Terminal block to the
Neutral terminal of the Output Power Terminal block. In cases where the load has a neutral
terminal, connect the neutral lead from External Sense Terminal block to the neutral terminal of the
load.
When wiring the External Sense Leads to a DELTA load (refer to paragraph 3.4.3), connect the
Neutral terminal of the External Sense Terminal block to the Neutral terminal of the Output
Terminal block.

SECTION 4 OPERATION
4.4 SYSTEM TURN-OFF
This paragraph describes the procedure used to turn off the ASX-Series Power Source.
The ASX-Series Power Source is turned off by:
1. Setting the OUTPUT POWER Switch to the OFF position.
2. Opening the INPUT POWER circuit breaker.
4.5 SYSTEM SHUTDOWN
This paragraph describes the conditions which will cause system shutdown and the procedure
used to reset the ASX-Series Power Source.
4.5.1 SHUTDOWN CONDITIONS
The Output Contactor of the ASX-Series Power Source will be opened automatically when:
1. Either the Input Power Transformer or one of the power amplifier PCB's has reached an
Over-temperature condition. (Over-temperature is usually caused by either blocking the
air inlets--includes dirty fan filters--or overloading the power source.)
2. The state of the Output Coupling has changed while the Output Contactor is engaged.
3. The state of the Output Form has changed while the Output Contactor is engaged.
When the Output Contactor has been opened due to one of the above faults, the SHUTDOWN
LED on the front panel of the power source will be lighted. The output contactor will remain open
while the SHUTDOWN LED is lighted. This LED will remain lighted until reset.
If the Output Power Switch is in the ON/AUTO position when the unit is turned on, the
SHUTDOWN LED will light. This is normal operation. The LED is turned off simply by placing the
Output Power Switch into the OFF position.
77
SECTION 4 OPERATION
4.5.2 RESETTING SHUTDOWN FAULTS
The shutdown fault is reset as follows:
1. Set the OUTPUT POWER Switch to the OFF position.
2. Wait for the SHUTDOWN LED to extinguish. This LED will remain lighted until the
condition which caused the shutdown to occur has been corrected. In the case of
shutdown due to over-temperature this may take some time. The output contactor cannot
be engaged until the shutdown fault has been cleared.
NOTE: The SHUTDOWN LED is latched on when a fault occurs. The OUTPUT POWER Switch
or the Output Enable of the UPC MUST be placed in the OFF position before the SHUTDOWN
LED will extinguish, even if the original fault no longer exists.
3. After the SHUTDOWN LED has been extinguished, the unit will function normally.
4.6 OUTPUT VOLTAGE FORMS
This paragraph describes the various output voltage forms for which the ASX-Series Power Source
can be configured.
A recommended strategy for selecting the optimum output voltage form is based two basic
philosophies. The first is to use a direct-coupled output form whenever possible. The second is to
select the minimum voltage range necessary to drive the load.
Direct-coupled output is preferred because the output impedance is extremely low. A second
reason to use the direct-coupled output form is that low frequency limitations associated with
transformer outputs do not exist. This is especially true when attempting to perform sub-cycle
transients.
Selecting the minimum voltage range necessary to drive the load allows the power source to
operate more efficiently. This results in less heat being dissipated into the surrounding
environment.
Paragraph 4.6.1 discusses the various structures associated with the different output forms.
78
SECTION 4 OPERATION
4.6.1 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The ASX-Series Power Source output can be configured for single, split, and three phase voltage
forms. Figure 4.6.1 is a simplified block diagram of the possible output architectures. Only the
direct-coupled output forms are shown. All of the forms can be supplied with transformers to raise
the output voltage level.
The 1 PHASE mode of operation is a one vector output form. All of the power amplifier PCB's are
connected in parallel to form one output vector. The standard, direct-coupled version of this output
form is capable of 0-132 VAC
345, and 3120-ASX), or 0-150 VAC

l-n
l-n
160, 315, and 360-ASX) or 0 to 338 V
The 2 PHASE mode of operation is a two vector output form where the vectors are separated by
180° and equal in amplitude. This output form uses power amplifiers in pairs, one for each vector.
The load can be attached from either line to neutral, line to line or a combination of both. The
standard, direct-coupled version of this output form has a voltage range of 0-264 VAC
160-ASX, 315-ASX and 360-ASX), 0-270 VAC
(Models 120-ASX and 320-ASX). The voltage ranges of the various transformer output forms are:
VR1.5 - 0 to 396 V
(Models 160-ASX, 315-ASX and 360-ASX) or 0 to 405 V
l-l
and 3120-ASX), VR2.0 - 0 to 528 V
(Models 140, 345, and 3120-ASX), and VR2.5 - 0 to 600 V
3120-ASX). Note that in the case of the Models 315, 320, 345 and 360-ASX, only two of the three
power amplifiers are connected limiting these systems to producing only two-thirds of rated output
power in this configuration.
NOTE: The ASX-Series Power Sources do not support voltages in excess of 600 VAC
controller, safety, and spacing limitations. Attempting to defeat the inherent programming
limitations of the conroller to obtain higher voltages is strongly recommended against.
The 3 PHASE mode of operation is a three vector output form with vectors normally separated by
120°. Power amplifiers are supplied in groups of three with this output form and are WYE
connected. A WYE load is connected across the A, B, C, and Neutral terminals of the output
terminal block. This output form will also drive DELTA loads. DELTA loads are simply connected
across the A, B, and C terminals of the output terminal block with the Neutral terminal not
connected. The standard, direct-coupled version of this form has an output voltage range of 0 to
132/229 VAC (Models 315-ASX and 360-ASX), 0 to 135/234 VAC (Models 345-ASX and
3120-ASX), or 0 to 150/260 VAC (Model 320-ASX). The voltage ranges of the various transformer
output forms are: VR1.5 - 0 to 198/343 VAC (Models 315-ASX and 360-ASX) or 0 to 203/352 VAC
(Models 345-ASX and 3120-ASX), VR2.0 - 0 to 264/457 VAC (Models 315-ASX and 360-ASX) or
0 to 270/468 VAC (Models 345-ASX and 3120-ASX), and VR2.5 - 0 to 330/572 VAC (Models
315-ASX and 360-ASX) or 0 to 338/585 VAC (Models 345-ASX and 3120-ASX).

SECTION 4 OPERATION
4.6.1 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (cont.)
The three phase output systems can be used as 1 or 2 phase systems. This is accomplished by
setting the controller for the appropriate output form and then connecting the load accordingly.
Systems which contain a UPC-Series programmable controller have the ability to change output
form via commands.
It should be noted that most ASX-Series Power Sources may be configured with transformer
outputs, and are therefore dual-range. Selection of the appropriate output range, direct or
transformer-coupled, is via commands issued by the controller.

5.2.1 MODELS 115, 120, 315, AND 320-ASX
The Models 115-ASX, 120-ASX, 315-ASX, and 320-ASX require calibration once every six months
as regular maintenance. Refer to Section 6 for details.
5.2.2 MODELS 140, 160, 345, 360, AND 3120-ASX
The Models 140, 160, 345, 360, and 3120-ASX require calibration once every six months and
maintenance once every three months. Maintenance of these models consists of verifying that the
fan filter is clean. It is important that this filter is kept clean in order to insure proper cooling of
internal components.
The fan filter is cleaned as follows:
1. Slide the chassis forward to reveal the fan filter access panel, located on the
bottom of the chassis.
2. Loosen the 2 screws that partially protrude from the side panels, directly above
the filter, to allow the filter to slide out of its holder. (For model 3120-ASX, remove
the fan filter access panel.)
3. The filter will slide out of its holder. Remove the filter.
4. Wash and dry the fan filter. The filter is a metal screen mesh type. It is reusable
and is best cleaned by washing with warm soapy water. Make sure that the filter
is dry before installing it into the chassis.
5. Install the filter and re-tighten the screws loosened in step 2. ( for Model
3120-ASX, install the filter and then replace the fan filter access plate )
6. Slide the chassis back into its normal position.
If system operation is suspect or the calibration interval has passed, perform the calibration
procedure outlined in Section 6.
