Page 15: Power Supply Main Features
FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual 2. Power Supply Main Features The features listed in this chapter are common to the FAST-PS-M family and can be regarded as the basic features of this power supplies family. 2.1 Connectors Three different types of connection are present in FAST-PS-M power supplies: power cables connector (bus-bars), I/O connectors and remote sensing connectors. -
Page 16: Power Cables Connectors For The Fast-Ps-M 3030
FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual Power Cables Connectors for the FAST-PS-M 3030 The load needs to be connected to the output connector placed on the rear panel of the unit as shown in Figure 3. This type of connector offers a convenient and reliable form of connection;... -
Page 17: I/O Connectors
FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual I/O Connectors The FAST-PS-M module has two configurable dry-contact input interlocks and output status signals that are directly available on the D-Sub 15 Pin Female connector on the rear panel (Figure 5). A mating connector, a standard D-Sub 15 Pin Male type, can be installed in order to use/access these available signals. -
Page 18: Remote Sensing
“Remote Control Manual”. The interlocks are disabled by default. Remote Sensing From FAST-PS-M of any model with SN (Serial Number) ending with x10 and later – i.e. x11, x12, etc. – there is a different voltage-sensing connector on the rear panel that allows using the voltage sensing feature especially when using the power supply in C.V. -
Page 19: Options
The FAST-PS-M can be configured with options that are factory-configured and can be found on the rear panel in places of connectors A and B. The standard version of the FAST-PS-M, on the rear panel, is as shown in the following... -
Page 20: Analog Control Input
A brief description of the two options is presented hereafter. Analog Control Input An input that allows the FAST-PS-M to be controlled as an “amplifier” is provided on the rear panel on a BNC connector on the “A” socket. This input is labelled as “AN CTRL”. -
Page 21: Trigger Input
FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual Trigger Input An input that allows the FAST-PS-M to be triggered is provided on the rear panel on a BNC connector on the “B” socket. This input is labelled as “TRG IN”. This input accepts TTL (5V) and LVTTL (3.3V) compatible signals and should be driven by a low-impedance source or generator. -

Page 23: Internal Protections
FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual 2.4 Internal Protections The FAST-PS-M is equipped with several internal protections that allow configuring the unit for optimal operation. These protections have the dual use of protecting the unit and the connected load/device from unwanted damages or undesired operation conditions. -
Page 24: Input Overcurrent - Ovc
The internal current drawn from the AC/DC power section of the unit is sensed by a hall transducer that, in conjunction with a comparator, generates a signal that turns off the device. The threshold value of intervention depends on the FAST-PS-M specific model and cannot be changed by the user. -
Page 25: Dcct Not Ok
OVT condition is generated, thus shutting off the power unit. The threshold value [°C] can be set by experienced users. A reset fault operation needs to be executed on the status register of the FAST-PS-M before turning the output off again. - Page 26 FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual The waveform is stored internally in a point-by-point manner and it gives a lot of flexibility since the maximum number of points of the waveform can be defined as well as the sampling period (of the waveform execution).

Page 27: Installation
If damage is detected, compile the RMA form available to the CAEN ELS web site. 3.3 Mounting The FAST-PS-M module can be used either as a desktop unit or as a rack-mount device since the unit form factor is designed to be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet. -
Page 28: Rack Mounting
Allow minimum 10 cm of unrestricted air space at the front and the read of the unit. Rack Mounting The FAST-PS-M power supply series is designed to fit in a standard 19” equipment rack. CAUTION Use a support bar to provide adequate support for the power supply. -
Page 29: Ac Source Requirement
Figure 14: AC Power Line input socket AC Source requirement The FAST-PS-M power supplies are designed for universal AC input range since it can operate with voltage from 100V to 240V and input frequency ranging from 47 Hz to 63 Hz. Installation Category shall be CAT II so maximum impulse voltage on the network mains must be below 2500 V. -
Page 30: Remote Sensing
Voltage if Remote sensing is used – Cable Drop Voltage Maximum compensation Voltage for all models is 0.5 V For instance, the FAST-PS-M 10006-600 that have a nominal output voltage of 6 V connected to a load at 8 meter of distance using 2x16 mm cable can drive at maximum 6+ 0.5 - 2 = 4.5 V at 100 A on the load. -
Page 31: Grounding Outputs
To allow floating operation of the output it is sufficient to remove the Earth Fuse from the fuse-holder and set the Power supply for Floating operation. When the FAST-PS-M is configured to operate in floating mode either the positive or negative output terminals can be grounded. Always use two wires to connect the load... - Page 32 FAST-PS-M – User’s Manual WARNING Output terminals shall not float more than +/-60VDC above/below chassis ground when Earth Fuse is not present.
