CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 USER MANUAL CONTENT

1.2 INTRODUCTION

This user’s manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions and specifications of

the Genesys 3300W power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard power supplies,

including the built-in RS232/485 serial communication. For information related to operation with the

optional IEEE programming, refer to User Manual for Power Supply IEEE Programming Interface.

Genesys power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies. The

Genesys series is power factor corrected and operates from worldwide AC voltage range. Output

voltage and current are continuously displayed and LED indicators show the complete operating

status of the power supply. The Front panel controls allow the user to set the output parameters, the

protection levels (Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage limit and Foldback) and preview the

settings. The rear panel includes the necessary connectors to control and monitor the power supply

operation by remote analog signals or by the built-in serial communication (RS232/485). GPIB

programming and Isolated-Analog programming/monitoring are optional.
