CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 USER MANUAL CONTENT
This User’s Manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions and specifications of the
Genesys
TM
1500W and 750W power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard power supplies,
including the built-in RS232/RS485 serial communication. For information related to operation with the
optional IEEE programming, refer to User’s Manual for Power Supply Programming Interface. (Lambda
Americas P/N 83-030-200)
INTRODUCTION
1.2.1 General
Description
Genesys
TM
power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies. The
Genesys
TM
series is power factor corrected and operates from worldwide AC voltage range continuously.
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 pro-
tections 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/RS485). GPIB programming and
Isolated-Analog programming/monitoring are optional.
