I — INTRODUCTION
1.1. SCOPE OF MANUAL. This Quick Start Guide
covers simple installation and local operation of the Kepco
100W, 200W and 400W Series of BOP Bipolar Operational
Power Supplies. Full specifications, features and instruc-
tions are found in the BOP Operator Manual that can be
downloaded free from the Kepco web site at:
www.kepcopower.com/support/opmanls.htm#bop-op
1.2. DESCRIPTION. Kepco’s BOP are linear stabilizers
with two bipolar control channels (voltage or current mode),
selectable and individually controllable either by front panel
controls, or by remote signals. These two principal control
channels are each protected by bipolar limit circuits. The
positive and negative current or voltage limit points can be
manually set or remotely programmed simultaneously or
Individually. Automatic crossover between each principal
control channel and the limit channels is provided. Only
one principle channel (voltage or current) can control the
output at any one time.
The BOP can act as either a source (output voltage is the
same direction as output current) or a sink (output voltage
is opposite that of output current). An example is shown in
Figure 1 where the BOP is programmed to deliver a sine
wave output and the load produces a phase shift between
the output voltage and current.

Units are shipped for 115V a-c operation (105V to 125V
a-c), 50 to 65Hz. For operation at 104V a-c, 208V a-c or
230V a-c refer to the full Operator manual (PAR 1.1).
1.3. OPTIONS. Standard models (M suffix) include ana-
log voltage and current meters. Models with a D suffix
include digital meters.
1.4. EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED.
• PC 15 connector (MUST be installed at rear panel
to enable local operation).
• 115V a-c Line Cord
1.5. ACCESSORIES (NOT SUPPLIED)
• Slides (Full rack only)
• Rack adapter RA 24 or RA 37 (mount 3/4 rack unit
in 19-inch rack)
II — SAFETY.
Exercise care in making all connections to and from the
BOP terminals.
WARNINGS
1. Remove a-c power from the BOP before making any
connections.
2. Wires and/or cables, connected from the BOP terminals
to external components or programming devices must
be properly insulated and securely terminated on both
sides to make accidental touch impossible. DO NOT
USE BANANA PLUGS WITH EXPOSED SCREWS OR
OTHER EXPOSED METAL PARTS AT THE FRONT
PANEL OUTPUT TERMINALS!
3. The BOP chassis and cover must be safety-grounded to
a reliable a-c source ground. A safety-ground may be
established by using a grounded a-c power outlet or, if
the latter is not available, by means of a separate wire,
from the provided GROUND terminal to a reliable a-c
source ground point.
4. THE COMMON OUTPUT TERMINAL OF THE BOP
SHOULD BE GROUNDED. If for any reason, grounding
of the output is not possible, additional precautions must
be taken to make any access to the isolated output
impossible.
