  • Page 10: Rack Asswmbly

    RACK ASSEMBLY NOTE: All NE, NEU and NEDG series are using the same rack. Even though the pictures may not show exactly the model you purchased, the assembly procedures are the same. NOTE: Leaving the bolts slightly loose until all of the bolts are in position will make minor adjustments easier to make.
  • Page 11 4. Line up the two bottom holes in the front panel to the holes in BRKT-P2. Screw in two ½″ bolts with nylon washers, attaching these two pieces together. 5. Place the Power Module to the right of the HV Module so that it is lined up in the FRONT, RIGHT corner of the two bottom pieces.
  • Page 12 8. Place BRKT-EAR-L to the left of the HV module with the six FEX nuts lined up with the holes in BRKT-P2 and BRKT-P3. The slanted edge should be going downwards towards the back, and the front flap should bend to the left away from the modules.

  • Page 14: Cable Connections Between Modules

    The connections are also labeled on the back panels of the Modules. FILAMENT TRANSFORMER CONNECTION Niles Electronics Inc. accommodates a filament transformer, since April 2005, with each power supply. The filament resistance, at room temperature, should not be less than 5 mOhms (5 thousandth Ohms).
  • Page 15: High Voltage Cable Connection

    resistance is corrected or the short-circuit of filament block is resolved. Should any customer have questions regarding this issue, please do not hesitate to contact Niles Electronics Inc. The core of the Filament Transformer must be connected to the Tank ground. It is advisable to remove the paint/varnish from a small area around the mounting holes of the Transformer and the frame.

    INTERLOCK CONNECTIONS D-SUB 15 RIBBON CABLE CONNECTOR CONDUCTOR PIN NO. SOURCE INTERLOCK INTERLOCKS The external interlocks are connected to the Power Supply and their installation is described below. WARNING All statements pertaining to operator and equipment safety apply only if the external interlocks are installed as specified below and only if the operator does not disable the safety features, inherent in the interlocks, by bypassing the switches.
  • Page 18: High Voltage Interlocks

    HIGH VOLTAGE INTERLOCKS The E-Beam Gun Power Supply has two groups of interlock connections: one for the High Voltage and another for the Emission Current (Source Current). The High Voltage has the following interlocks:  AIR  VACUUM  TANK ...
  • Page 19: Fuse

    The interlocks for the Emission Current are:  FUSE  HVAC  WATER  AUX 2 FUSE: This fuse is in series with the Filament Transformer Primary Winding. If the Filament Transformer is overloaded, the fuse will be burnt and its LED indicator will turn off. However, if the LED indicator is off, the Fuse is not necessarily burnt as there is a Surge Current Sensor Circuitry that can also turn off this LED indicator.
