ONE: FEATURES AND SPECIFICATION
INTRODUCTION
This PD Series Programmable DC Linear Power Supply from American Reliance Inc. offers a complete solution
to power supply system requirements. This instrument was designed to assist in the development and testing of
new products, as well as is being a standard instrument for automatic test systems. This instrument provides
low-noise, precisely regulated variable DC output of power. Over Voltage Protection (OVP) and Over Current
Protection (OCP) are standard. Front panel controls and indicators are extensive. Units come with Standard
Commands for Programmable Instrument (SCPI) commands, remote monitoring of output voltage and currents
is a standard features. This power supply can be used either on a bench or in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) rack:
The power supply occupies 6.968 in. (4 U) of vertical rack space. Designed for continuous use in standalone or
systems applications, this power supply is typically used to power DC equipment, control circuits, or burn-in
component applications.
FEATURES AND OPTIONS
x Simultaneous digital display of both voltage and current.
x Front panel keypad or rotary knob (Tune mode) for accurate setting of the output voltage and current
from zero to the rated output.
x Automatic crossover of Constant Current or Constant Voltage mode.
x GPIB, RS-232, and Ethernet (Optional) control for remote digital programming and readback.
x Front panel push-button control of output standby mode and preview of voltage, current, or OVP and
OCP set points. Front panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicators for voltage and current mode
operation, OVP, remote programming mode, and shutdown.
x Front panel lock mode.
x Tracking Selection Mode for multiple channels setting.
x VLIST and ILIST in stepping mode, PD Series generate customized sequence of different output level
up to maximum of 20 steps (points), with dwell times from 10ms to 1 minute. This sequence can be
cycled once or to a user-defined number of cycles.
x (Optional) Local/Remote voltage and current limit programming with selectable programming ranges.
x (Optional) TTL function to enable/disable the power supply output.
x (Optional) CHANNEL to select multiple channels output operation.
x (Optional) External analog voltage (0 to +10V
DC
) input for the programming voltage/current output.
x (Optional) LCD backlight setting.
