Introduction
There are a number of options available for the BPS Series, both hardware and software. While not all or
no options may be present on your specific unit, this section of the manual incorporates the user
documentation for all available options. There is no separate manual for these options except possible
manual addenda for specials engineering request (SER) systems. If your system has an SER number as
part of the model number, refer to any manual addendum that was shipped with the unit.
11.1.1
Option -HV: Additional AC Voltage Range
The -HV option provides an alternate AC only output voltage range of 0-400 VRMS. There is no
equivalent 200 VRMS range associated with the -HV option but the standard 0-150 V RMS and 0-300 V
RMS remain available even if the -HV option is installed.
If the -HV option is installed, there will be three voltage ranges that can be selected from the PROGRAM
1 menu. (150/300/400). Other than the range values, all other operations remain the same. Note however
that the -HV range is AC coupled and as such offers no DC output capability. Thus, whenever the 400 V
range is selected, the output mode is automatically set to AC MODE and other modes cannot be selected.
Since the –HV option range is AC coupled, the lower frequency limit on the –HV range is 45 Hz and not
the 16 Hz that applies to the standard 150/300V ranges. The upper frequency limit remains the same.
11.1.2
Option –ES: Emergency Stop Push Button
This red emergency stop push button is installed on the front panel of the master BPS chassis at the
factory when this option is ordered with a BPS power source system. When pushed in, the main AC
contactor is opened disconnecting the AC input power to the BPS input transformer which causes the
power source’s output power to be removed. Note that the controller (and LCD display) will still be
powered up but no power is available to the amplifiers and there will be no output power as well. The
controller runs off the LV supply, which must be turned off with the front panel breaker.
After the ES has been pushed, the provided key will be required to release it. Once the ES button has been
released, the BPS power source
must
be powered down using the front panel circuit breaker and turned
back on to start up again.
Note:
For two chassis BPS power source systems (BPS150 and BPS180) a BNC cable connects between
the cabinets for the ES shut down system connection.
Note:
Do not misplace the 2 keys provided, as no duplicates are available from CI. If lost, the ES switch
must be replaced. In this case, contact AMETEK Programmable Power customer service.
