Output Cable Connection Continued
In the situation of the power cable / sound source being caught on an object, the HV cable is pulled
from the HV Junction Box, rather than the CSP-N unit being pulled onto the floor.
The junction box is usually supplied with a 1.5 metre lead, terminated in our HV connector. The
junction box is fitted with a microswitch which is connected to sense pins in the HV plug, i.e.
deactivating the high voltage charger if the lid is removed and the ‘INTERLOCK’ light will
illuminate.
Line Voltage Connection
Mains input is connected by the 3-Pin Amphenol on the left of the front panel. Nominal input
voltage is 230VAC 45-65 Hz. The wiring to this connector is as follows:-
A
Ground / Earth
B
Neutral
C
Live
If a ready-wired plug is supplied, it will be supplied from the factory with the following colour
coding:-
Green/Yellow
Earth
Blue
Neutral
Brown
Live
The operator must ensure that the ac supply is capable of supplying sufficient energy to power the
CSP-N unit. Although the unit will operate from most generators of 4 kVA, the quality and
regulation vary considerably from make to make and how well they have been maintained.
A voltage stabiliser is not necessary as any reasonable variation of the AC supply will not affect the
output voltage (hence power) unlike older designs.
NB Some older ‘inverter’ type generators do not work well with the CSP-N.
The AVIP technology inside the unit can be utilised to reduce the generator requirements. The
CHARGE RATE switch has two positions (Located on rear panel)
OUT :
High Charge rate.
The charger delivers the full charge rate (2000 J/sec peak) on demand to charge
the storage capacitors.
IN
:
Auto Charge rate.
The AVIP (Automatic Variable Input Power) circuitry is operational. This adjusts the
charge rate automatically to suit the capacitor selection and the repetition rate used,
and ensures that a constant current is drawn from the AC mains supply. It is a soft
start circuit and adjusts the charge rate by 5% per sample; a sample occurs each
trigger pulse. AVIP will adjust the charge rate from 20% to 98%, thus allowing 100J
3pps operation from a 500 VA generator. Note that it can take up to 16 samples for
the charge rate to be set to the correct amount.
