2.2. AC Power Requirements. Power is supplied to the unit via the IEC 320 receptacle,
located on the real panel. The AC power cord provided with the EPS 200 is for North
American usage at 120 VAC, 60 Hz. The unit can operate from 90 to 264 VAC at a line
frequency of 47 to 63 Hz and is internally fused for safety. Contact the factory for power
cords and accessories for installation and operation in other areas of the world.
2.3. RS-232 Serial Interface. The RS-232 serial interface is a 9-pin, D-style subminiature
female connector, located on the rear panel. The unit is configured as DCE without modem
control lines such as CTS, RTS or DTR. The host terminal or computer should be
configured for 9600 baud, no parity, eight data bits, one stop bit. When uploading ASCII
text programming files, use a 100 millisecond line-to-line delay. Additional information
detailing the communication specifications and serial interface is available in Appendix C.
2.4. Digital/Analog Remote Interface. The digital and analog interface is a 15-pin, D-
style subminiature female connector, located on the rear panel. The remote high voltage go
on, analog setpoint, clamp is up, clamp is down, and alarm outputs are contained in this
connector. The connector definition is shown in Appendix D.
2.5. High Voltage Connections. The power supply high voltage output is via the two BNC
connectors located at rear of the unit. The outer ring of these connectors is electrically
isolated from ground and is not referenced to the high-voltage output. Connections to the
outer conductors can be terminated at a common ground point, or left floating without
affecting the performance of the EPS200.
WARNING: High-voltages are produced by the EPS200.
Installation and operation of the unit should be performed
only by qualified and authorized personnel.
