California Instruments 

1. Introduction 

This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation, calibration and 
maintenance of all power systems that use the MX Series power sources with the 
programmable controller. 

1.1 General Description 

The MX Series AC and DC power source systems are high efficiency, floor standing AC and DC 
power sources that provide a precise output with low distortion.  Available voltage ranges are 
150 Vac, 300 Vac and 400 Vac in AC mode and 200 Vdc and 400 Vdc in DC mode.  The MX30-
3Pi and MX45-3Pi can operate in either single or three-phase mode.  The MX30 and MX45 is 
also available in just single or three-phase mode.  All other models always operate in three-
phase mode. 

Models with a -1 or -3 designation provide full front panel operation but do not include certain 
features such as arbitrary waveform generation unless added as an option at the time of order.  
Models with the Pi controller offer several additional standard features, including the RS232C, 
USB, LAN (option) and IEEE-488 interfaces, arbitrary waveform generation, dual voltage ranges 
and additional measurement functions. 

The MX Series units are contained in a compact floor standing enclosure on casters. This allows 
the units to be moved around more easily.  

Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate the MX Series 
power systems. 

1.2  Manual organization and format 

All user documentation for California Instruments power sources is provided on CDROM in 
electronic format. (Adobe Portable Document Format)  The required Adobe PDF viewer is 
supplied on the same CDROM.  This manual may be printed for personal use if a hardcopy is 
desired. To request a hardcopy from California Instruments, contact customer service at 

[email protected]

. There will be an additional charge for printed manuals. 

This manual contains sections on installation, normal use, maintenance and calibration. If the 
MX system is equipped with a GPIB, RS232C, USB or LAN interface, refer to the MX 
Programming manual for information on using the remote control interfaces and command 
syntax.  The programming manual is provided on the same CDROM as this user manual.
