Tilt-Foot Adjustment; Shipping Kit; External Interlocks - ILX Lightwave LDX-36000 Series User Manual

A total of 15 devices may be connected together on the same GPIB interface bus.
The cables have single male/female connectors on each end so that the cables
can be stacked. This allows multiple cables to be attached to a single instrument.
However, the maximum cable length must not exceed 20 meters (65 feet) total, or
2 meters (6.5 feet) per device.
The talk and listen addresses of the instrument are identical. This GPIB address
is read by pressing the GPIB/LOCAL button with the address shown on the left-
hand display. The instrument comes from the factory with the GPIB address set
to 1. This may be changed from the front panel and is described in the section
entitled Changing the GPIB Address in Chapter 4. For additional information,
refer to Chapter 4 - Remote Operation.

Tilt-Foot Adjustment

The LDX-36000 Series Current Sources come standard with folding front legs and
two rear feet to use as a benchtop instrument. Extending the front feet so the
instrument front panel is tilted up makes it easier to view the displays. To use
them, place the unit on a stable base and rotate the front legs downward until they
lock into position.

Shipping Kit

The LDX-36000 Series Current Sources come with a shipping kit containing
accessories the user will find useful in getting the instrument operational. These
accessories include screws and clip nuts for rack mounting and a DB-9 connector
and hood to mate with the 9-pin measurement connector on the instrument's rear
panel. Also included are connectors for mating to the high current output
connectors. For current sources of <50 A, a DB-25 pin connector, pins and hood
are included in the shipping kit. For current sources of >50A, high current output
lugs and screws are provided to attach to the output pads on the rear panel. For
QCW operation with the ILX CC-390 output cable, a high current crown connector
is also included in the high current shipping kit.

External Interlocks

The instrument's rear panel contains two pairs of terminal blocks which are used
for connecting to two independently monitored interlock circuits. The terminals of
each terminal block must be shorted to satisfy each interlock.
As an example of their use, one interlock could be connected to the flowswitch in
a liquid cooling unit while the other could be tied to a door sensor. However, both
are simply labeled as Interlock 1 and Interlock 2 to allow complete flexibility for the
user.
