The FC Series are sophisticated,120 Watt, high voltage power
supplies in a small and lightweight package. They are air insulated, fast response units
with tight regulation.
Features
Low Stored Energy. Most models exhibit less than 1 joule of
stored energy.
Pulse-Width Modulation. Off-the-line-pulse-width modulation
provides high efficiency and a reduced parts count for improved reliability.
Air Insulated. The FC Series features "air" as the
primary dielectric medium. No oil or encapsulation is used to impede serviceability or increase
weight.
Constant Voltage/Constant Current Operation. Automatic crossover
from constant-voltage to constant-current regulation provides protection against overloads, arcs, and
short circuits.
Low Ripple. Ripple is less than 0.02% of rated voltage at
full load.
Tight Regulation. Voltage regulation is better than 0.005% for
allowable line and load variations. Current regulation is better than 0.05% from short circuit to
rated voltage.
Front Panel Controls. Separate 10-turn controls with locking
vernier dials are used to set voltage and current levels. A high voltage enable (on) switch and an AC
power on/off switch complete the panel controls. L.E.D.'s indicate when high voltage is on, the output
polarity, and whether the supply is operating in a voltage or current regulating mode. For the blank
panel version, only a power on/off switch is provided on the panel.
Remote Control Facilities. As standard, all FC Series supplies
provide output voltage and current program/monitor signals, high voltage enable, safety interlock
terminals, and a +10 volt reference source.
Small Size and Weight. FC Series power supplies occupy only
1.75 inches of panel height. Net weight is less than 12 pounds.
Warranty. Standard power supplies are warranted for three
years; OEM and modified power supplies are warranted for one year. A formal warranty statement is
available.
Specifications
(Specifications apply from 5 to 100% rated voltage. Operation is
guaranteed down to 0% of rated voltage with a slight degradation of ripple, regulation, and
stability.)
Input: 103-132V RMS standard, single-phase, 48-63Hz, <2.5A.
Connector per IEC 320/VI with mating line cord terminated with NEMA 5-15 plug.
Efficiency: Typically 80% at full load.
Output: Continuous,stable adjustment, from 0 to rated voltage
or current by panel mounted 10-turn potentiometers with 0.05% resolution, or by external 0 to 10V
signals is provided. Linearity is <0.1% of rated. Accuracy is 0.1% of rated +0.5% of setting.
Repeatability is <0.1% of rated.
Stored Energy: See Models chart.
Static Voltage Regulation: Better than 0.005% for specified
line variations and 0.005% + 0.5 mV/mA for load variations.
Dynamic Voltage Regulation: For load transients from 10% to
100% and 100% to 10%, typical deviation is 2% of output voltage with recovery to within 1% in 500 µs
and to 0.1% in 1 ms.
Ripple: <0.02% of rated voltage + 300 mV RMS at full load.
Current Regulation: Better than 0.05% from short circuit to
rated voltage at any load condition.
Voltage Monitor: 0 to +10 V equivalent to 0 to rated voltage.
Accuracy, 0.1% reading +0.5% rated.
Current Monitor: 0 to +10 V equivalent to 0 to rated current.
Accuracy, 0.1% reading +0.5% rated.
Stability: 0.01% per hour after 1/2 hour warmup, 0.05%
per 8 hours.
Voltage Rise/Decay Time Constant: 400 ms typical with a 10%
resistive load using either HV on/off or remote programming control.
Temperature Coefficient: 0.01% per degree C.
Ambient Temperature: -20 to +50 degree C, operating; -40 to +85
degree C, storage.
Polarity: Available with either positive, negative, or reversible
polarity with respect to chassis ground.
Protection: Automatic current regulation protects against all
overloads, including arcs and shorts. Fuses, surge-limiting resistors, and low energy components provide
ultimate protection.
Remote Controls: A five position terminal block and a 15 Pin
"D" connector are provided for all remote functions, including common, +10 V reference,
interlock, voltage and current program/monitor, HV enable, ground, and local control. Arear panel
toggle switch selects either local or remote operation.
External Interlock: Open off, closed on. Normally latching
except for blank panel version where it is non-latching.
Remote HV Enable: 0-1.5 V off, 2.5-15 V on.
Accessories: Detachable 8 foot shielded high voltage
coaxial cable (see Models chart for cable type), 6 foot detachable line cord and mating 15 Pin "D"
connector and shell are provided.
Options
| Symbol |
Description |
| 100 |
90 to 110VRMS input, 48-400Hz. NEMA 5-15 Plug. |

| CT |
Current trip. Power supply trips off when the load current reaches the programmed level. This option has a rear panel switch that selects either "trip" operation or current limiting. |
| ZR |
Zero start interlock. Voltage control, local or remote, must be at zero before HV will enable. |
| SS |
Slow start ramp. Specify standard times of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 s + 20%. |
| X13 |
0-5 V voltage and current program/monitor. |
| HVS |
High voltage status indicator. Normally open relay contacts that close when HV is enabled. Contacts are rated for 24VDC at 1A maximum. |
