4.1.5 AUX DC (DC Power for Test Objects)
Figure 4-6:
DC power for test objects
(AUX DC)
Test objects that require an auxiliary DC voltage can be fed from
the AUX DC output.
The DC voltage that is applied over the AUX DC output can vary
from 0 to 264 Volts and is configured using the software.
The AUX DC output is galvanically separated from all other
outputs.
The power-up default
By means of the test tool AuxDC you can set a so-called power-up default.
When the test set is powered-up the next time, the auxiliary DC output is
automatically set to this default value. This default value applies until it is
deliberately changed again.
Setting a power-up default value means, that immediately after the test set
is switched on, this voltage is applied to the auxiliary DC voltage output,
regardless whether a computer is connected to it or not.
Caution: The selected voltage can be life-threatening!
Consider storing a power-up default voltage of higher than 0 V a potential
danger to future users that may connect other devices to this CMC test set.
We strongly recommend to always set the default value to 0 V before storing
the device, or to otherwise attach a warning label to the device housing,
such as "
This unit outputs an AuxDC voltage of ___V immediately after
powering-up ".
If the voltage on the "AUX DC" output exceeds 42 V, the associated
signal light lights up.
More information about the configuration of the AUX DC supply can be
found in the OMICRON
Test Universe AuxDC Help.
