DUAL CHANNEL OPERATIONAL POWER SUPPLY
I — INTRODUCTION
1.1. SCOPE OF MANUAL. This Quick Start Guide
covers simple installation and local operation of the Kepco
BOP 2X-DE Series Dual Channel Bipolar Operational
Power Supply, hereafter referred to as BOP 2X-DE. Com-
plete specifications, features and instructions are found in
the full BOP 2X-DE Series Operator Manual that can be
downloaded free from the Kepco web site at:

1.2. DESCRIPTION.
Kepco's Series BOP 2X-DE dual-channel BOP models are
200W and 400W power supplies. Each channel is a sepa-
rate power supply, completely isolated, independent and
functionally identical. The 200W units have two 100W
channels and the 400W units have two 200W channels.
The channels are completely isolated, but share two digital
front panel meters (without affecting isolation) which dis-
play d-c output voltage and current for the channel selected
by the front panel Channel select switch. A single power
cord powers both channels; separate on-off circuit breakers
turn each channel on/off separately.
Each BOP 2X-DE channel is a linear stabilizer with two
bipolar control loops (voltage or current mode), selectable
and individually controllable by remote signals applied to
the PC 15 programming connector at the rear panel. These
two principal control loops are each protected by bipolar
limit circuits. The positive and negative current or voltage
limit points can be remotely programmed simultaneously or
Individually. Automatic crossover between each principal
control loop and the limit loops is provided. Only one princi-
ple loop (voltage or current) can control the output at any
one time.
Each channel can operate automatically in all four voltage-
current quadrants; it can act as either a source (output volt-
age is the same polarity as output current) or a sink (output
voltage is opposite the polarity of output current). An exam-
ple is shown in Figure 1 where the BOP channel is pro-
grammed to deliver a sine wave output and the load
produces a phase shift between the output voltage and cur-
rent. See BOP 2X-DE Series Operator Manual (PAR. 1.1)
for limits on long-term operation in sink mode.
Remote On-Off Feature. A remote on-off feature provides
Isolated remote on-off control of the output; an associated

flag signal is configured at the PC 15 programming connec-
tor.
Units are shipped for 115V a-c operation (105V to 125V
a-c), 57 to 63Hz. For operation at 104V a-c, 208V a-c or
230V a-c refer to the full Operator Manual (PAR 1.1).
LAN OPERATION. Each channel of the BOP 2X-DE
includes a LAN interface that accepts digital data bus infor-
mation from a computer and converts it to an analog signal
which, in turn, controls the channel output.

mode with large inductive loads are identified by suffix L.
Models optimized to operate in voltage mode with large
capacitive loads are identified by suffix C.

• Two PC 15 programming connectors. One PC 15
programming connectors MUST be installed at the
rear panel of each channel to enable operation.
