MX Series power sources with the programmable controller. All other MX Series manual are provided in Adobe Acrobat PDF format on CD ROM P/N CIC496. The CD ROM is included in the MX Series Shipkit.
Series unit(s) will be installed can support the weight of the unit(s). 2.2 Power Requirements The MX Series power Source has been designed to operate from a three-phase, three wire (Wye or Delta) AC input line. A protective earth connection is required as well. (PE).
15 mins) before removing any cover.) See Figure 2-2 for details. No wiring for AC input connections is provided with the MX Series and must be provided by the end user or installer. Input wiring should be entered through the right hand side (when facing the back of the MX45, see Figure 2-4) wire access opening located at the rear bottom of the MX45 chassis.
The front cover must be re- installed prior to use and the strain relief provisions located at the rear bottom of the unit must be used to maintain protection against hazardous conditions. MX Series...

If any MX45 system failure has occurred on any part of the MX45 system, AC input power must be removed immediately and not restored until the system has been inspected by a qualifier service technician. Always turn off the On/Off Circuit breaker before re-applying AC input power. MX Series...
CAUTION: The AC input fuses can only be checked is the MX45 is completely de-energized and disconnected from any AC power input. Note: Under no circumstances should AC input power be applied if one or more of the AC input line fuses have failed and opened up. Figure 2-4: Rear Panel MX Series...

MX90 and MX135 systems are shipped with external output terminal blocks that enable the output wiring from two or three chassis to be combined, providing a single point of connection to the EUT. These blocks are not enclosed however. Figure 2-11: MX135 or MX135-MB Output Wiring MX Series...
The dimensions of the supplied terminal blocks are shown in Figure 2-13. Note that even if the EUT is a three-phase delta input, the output neutrals of the MX chassis' must be connected together for the system to work correctly. Figure 2-13: Ship kit Terminal Block dimensions MX Series...

If the units being re-configured for multi-cabinet operation were not factory configured this way, it may be necessary to balance the amplifiers by adjusting their gain. Refer to MX Series User Manual (P/N 7003-960) for details on Amplifier balancing. When used as a multi-cabinet system, the system interface cables must be connected between the master and the auxiliary cabinets.
California Instruments 2.9 Clock and Lock Configurations The MX Series may optionally be equipped for clock and lock mode of operation. This mode is a special form of Master/Auxiliary which requires each chassis to have it's controller. As such, it is possible to create 2, 3, 6 or 9 phase power systems using 2 to 3 MX45 chassis.
To set up a GPIB remote controlled clock and lock systems, the GPIB addresses for the individual MX45's must be set to different address values in the UTILITY1, GPIB/RS232 SETUP screen. Note: This mode of operation is not supported by the MXGUI Windows software supplied with each MX45 unit. MX Series...
In the unlikely event the power source does not pass the functional test, refer to the calibration procedure in the MX Series User manual (P/N 7003-960) or call California Instrument’s customer satisfaction department for further assistance.
