1 General Information 1.1 Product Overview The 9130B Series programmable triple output DC power supplies feature isolated outputs that can be adjusted independently. They can be configured for series or parallel mode when connecting multiple channels together. The front panel keys and the rotary knob provide a convenient means for setting values and adjusting parameters.
1.3 Product Dimensions The 9130B power supply’s dimensions are approximately 214.5 mm (8.44 in) x 88.2 mm (3.47 in) x 354.6 mm (13.96 in) (W x H x D). The 9131B and 9232B power supply’s dimensions are approximately 214.5 mm (8.44 in) x 88.2 mm (3.47 in) x 445 mm (17.52 in) (W x H x D).
The instrument can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using the optional IT-E151 rackmount kit. Below is an image of a 9130B Series model installed with the IT-E151 rackmount kit. Note: Remove the carrying handle and the two plastic ears before mounting the instrument. To remove the handle, grasp the handle by its sides, pull outwards, and rotate it until the arrow on the handle and the arrow on the plastic ears are in opposite directions.
