•
New higher performance controller with arbitrary waveform capability is used.
•
Standard RS232 and USB interfaces have been added in addition to GPIB.
•
Optional Ethernet LAN interface is available. (Option –LAN).
•
The front panel keyboard display is more user friendly with full decimal keypad for data
entry.
•
Number of available output voltage range options has been reduced to 135/270
(standard), 156/312 or 200/400.
1.1 General Description
The FCS Series II AC Power Source is a high efficiency, cabinet AC Power Source/Analyzer
combination that provides a precise output and advanced measurements. Standard output
voltage ranges are 135 Vac and 270 Vac RMS. The FCS II Series is available in either single (-
1) or three-phase (-3) mode. Three phase units offer an optional single-phase mode for both
modes of operation.
For power levels above 18 KVA, two or more FCS series units can be combined using the
system interface in a parallel mode of operation. These multi chassis systems consist of one
master unit with controller and one or two auxiliary units without controllers. Only the master unit
has a front panel keyboard and display.
Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate the FCS
Series II power systems.
