Chapter 3, TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

3-3

3.4 External Supply Operation

External power can be provided by a stand-alone external power supply (see
Appendix B) providing ±18 V DC, or the Preamplifier Power Output of most
PerkinElmer Instruments lock-in amplifiers which provide ±15 V DC. Connection is
by a DIN 5-way socket on the rear panel of the 5182.
