Power consumption
160 W, 120 W, 60W @ full power (32, 24,
12 channel respectively)
80 W, 60 W, 30W @ full power (32, 24, 12

1
From 10 Hz to 100 MHz at full load; ripple may exceed such limits whenever OVC and UNV occur (see Output control and
monitoring); noise measured with 1m cable length terminated on 2nF capacitance
2
From 10% to 90% of Full Scale Range
3
During operation in Overcurrent or when VMAX Hardware is reached (and/or exceeded), VMON values have to be assumed as
“indication”; possible monitor drifts are caused by the different regulation mode.
