USER MANUAL CONTENT
This User’s Manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions and specifications of the
Genesys
TM
2400W power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard power supplies, including the
built-in RS-232/RS-485 serial communication. For information related to operation with the optional LAN, IEEE
or USB programming, refer to specific Programming Interface User Manual (TDK-Lambda P/N 83-034-100
(LAN), P/N 83-030-200 (IEEE) and P/N 83-033-800 (USB)).
1.2
INTRODUCTION
General Description
1.2.1
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. 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
(RS-232/RS-485). LAN,IEEE and USB programming and Isolated-Analog programming/monitoring are optional.
