In order to properly configure the Model 430 Programmer, specific
system information is required. Such parameters as the magnet
electrical properties, type of power supply, persistent switch heating
current requirements, and voltage and current constraints of the magnet
are entered into the Model 430 Programmer once and nonvolatile
memory will retain the data even after power is removed from the
instrument. An example of the data to be entered and how it is entered is
described on page 108.
If the Model 430 Programmer was purchased as part of a magnet
system, essential data will have already been entered at the AMI factory
and a configuration sheet will have been provided detailing the settings.

If the Model 430 Programmer was purchased as part of a magnet
system, all applicable system components and wiring harnesses will
have been shipped with the system. Since many different configurations
are possible, use the system interconnection diagram that most closely
matches your system; this is usually determined by the operating
characteristics of the power supply.
For maximum immunity to AC line noise, ensure that the chassis of the
Model 430 Programmer has a direct, low impedance electrical
connection to the chassis of the power supply to which the
PROGRAM
OUT
is connected. The connection can be made via a grounding strap,
or if rack mounted, through the rack itself if it is constructed of
electrically-conductive material.
The system diagrams that follow will assist in system equipment
connections.
CAUTION
The wiring between the power supply and the magnet
current leads must be of sufficient size to carry the full rated
current of the power supply. Typically, for short runs (less
than 25 ft, or 7.6 m), 2 AWG wire is sufficient for 125 A
current, and 2/0 AWG wire is best for 250 A current. Consult
with an AMI Technical Support Representative for higher
current applications.
