1. EASY Embedded Assembly System Functional description EASY (Embedded Assembly SYstem) is the new CAEN power supply solution for operation in magnetic field and radioactive environment. CAEN has been involved for more than a decade in developing different solutions for the main LHC experiments, where the electronic equipment of the experiment is dealing with high dose radiation and intense magnetic field.
The SY1527 system is the fully equipped experiment version of a new line of power supply systems which represent CAEN's latest proposal in the matter of High Voltage and Low Voltage Power Supplying. This system outlines a completely new approach to...

Revision date: Revision: User's Manual (MUT) A3486 3Phase 400Vac to 2x2kW/1x4kW 48Vdc 08/10/2007 INT. FAIL LED (red): lights up in case of internal power supply failures. After the Internal Fail cause is removed, the LED remains on, unless a “Clear Alarm” is performed.
CAEN shall not be liable for user’s failure to comply with these requirements. To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, do not apply a voltage to a load that is outside the range specified for that load.
Live circuits Operating personnel must not remove the instrument cover. No internal adjustment or component replacement is allowed by non-CAEN personnel. Never replace components with power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove external voltage source before touching components (wait 15 min at least).
3.3.1 General The CAEN Mod. A3486 is designed to work as main converter in LHC hostile areas, thus completing the EASY system. It must be connected to the EASY Bus just like EASY Crates; for more information about operation with the EASY3000 System, please refer to the Mod.
3.3.5 AC source The Mod. A3486 ACsource is as follows: The input voltage range and current required is specified in § 2.2. Ensure that under heavy load, the AC voltage supplied to the unit does not fall below the specifications described in §...
EASY Bus communication link, via the A1676A Branch Controller as shown in the following schemes: a) If the A1676A handles a remote chain composed only by A3486 modules, there are two types of possible connections, as shown in the following figure:...
Fig. 3.4 – Bus connection with A3486 modules and EASY crates The A3486 is handled as a crate slot and the communication is terminated by the crates backplane. The A3486 termination must be OFF. N.B.: in this case the A3486 INPUT connector must be connected with the EASY3000 Crate INPUT connector.
