CPS-i2000(R2) MANUAL
CPS-POWER - a unique concept of 3D-heat, open mechanics, design to service and open scalability
The Camtec CPS-i models are high-precision lab power supplies „Made in Germany“. These power
supplies are designed for scalable power systems in the testing automation.
For more than 25 years the Camtec Power Supplies manufactures high-end switch mode power supplies in
Germany. A field breakdown of below 0,004% over a 10-year period under review approves our ambitious
quality concept. Each manufactured Camtec product passes several 100% random tests for each detailed
function and a full-load Burn-In test.
Although it is not required from the safety norms our production applies a routine safety test to each
manufactured device, even if it is an extra low-voltage model. The components in the assembled device pass
stress aging to achieve an even level and to prevent from delayed failures. Our internal product engineering
guidelines provide a clear target: Camtec product reputation must say „mount and forget“. Quality is never a
mere promise for our team.
The CPS-i laboratory power supplies provide low noise and ripple, a very fast programming, and a precise
setting at high load changes. With an efficiency of 92-94% and a power factor of 0.99, the devices are highly
energy efficient.
Equipped with high-end capacitors of outstanding lifetime our power supplies guarantee a very long and
reliable operation time. The circuit design of the CPS-i Series allows cope playing with complex loads. The
internal protection circuits protect the power supply and the connected system, even in exceptional situations.
The CPS-i series is protected from high transients by strong filters with high energy efficiency. All inputs and
outputs and the interface are electrically isolated. The design specifications call for the highest standards of
safety and interference suppression. The device was developed in accordance with the requirements of
EN61010-1, EN61010-2-201, EN62368-1 and the EMC standards EN55032 conducted Class B, radiated
Class A.
The mechanical design of the CPS-i2000 device series is unique. It is the first power supply line in the
world market, which can be flexibly adapted to any installation situation.
The forced-air-cooling system with monitored and load-dependent variable fan control, allows a detached
position in the system. By simple and cost-effective wall brackets the device can be integrated in any position
in 90° increments. Unlike comparable power supplies Camtec comes here for the first time to let the system
integrator completely free hand. The cooling concepts for supply and exhaust air can be designed to
completely remove the heat dissipation from the cabinet. Complex and expensive air-conditionings for switch
cabinets can be reduced to a minimum or even eliminate. Brackets for air channels are available as an option.
In selecting the fan, as with all our power supplies, in our opinion we use with the German manufacturer EBM
Papst the highest quality and most reliable devices in the world market.
The installation of the power supply in a 19" subrack is guaranteed in the simplest way. Again, our engineers
have decided to offer a completely open and flexible system. The optional front panels allow the power
supplies the use in either a 2U or 3U subrack. In this way we can realized 6kW in 2U-rack and up to 10kW in a
3U-rack with the CPS-i2000 models. With Zero-Stacking the series allows scalable high-power DC source in a
comparable small 19-inch rack unit. For power applications with high dynamic range above 10kW we
recommend contacting our support team.
As accessories for the CPS-i Camtec provides matched 19 "subframes. Our subracks deserve the name of a
carrier, because they really are extremely stable made of stainless steel. The power supplies have nickel-
plated steel pins to position the power supplies in the subframes. The so married together systems withstand
the toughest conditions. All mechanical connections in the power supplies or on the racks are constructed with
A2 or nickel-plated screws, so that they provide maximum protection against corrosion and conductivity.
