The CT-310A mainframe uses a common removable power supply module, which also includes
the cooling fans for the chassis. This provides a single field replaceable module that gives the
CT-310A mainframe very low MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) figures and simplifies spare
subassembly requirements.
The high-quality power supply components provide short-circuit, over-voltage and reverse-
voltage protection as well as thermal-shutdown should the unit over-heat. All power supply lines
are monitored and displayed on the front panel to provide user feedback of correct operation (over
voltage, under voltage and normal voltage indication, see Figure 1-3).

LEXIBILITY
The CT-310A is designed to provide flexibility of use in bench-top, portable and rack-mount
applications. For rack-mount applications, rack-mount kits allow the CT-310A to mount flush
with or without 20" slides, or be recessed four inches into the rack with or without 24" slides. A
latched door kit may be used if the chassis is recess mounted to cover the instrument wiring and/or
to mount user connectors, etc. See Section 2 for rack mount installation details.
