Page 7: Introduction
Introduction Warranty Ikonix USA, certifies that the power source listed in this manual meets or exceeds published manufacturing specifications. This power source was calibrated using standards that are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Your new power source is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for a period of (5) years from date of shipment.
Page 8: Glossary Of Terms
Glossary of Terms Alternating Current (AC) - current that reverses direction on a regular basis (usually 60 times per second in the United States). Measured in amps. AC Power Source - An instrument that takes one AC voltage and frequency level and converts it into another AC voltage and frequency level.
Page 9 PFC - Power Factor Correction is a method by which an inductance is inserted into the input circuit of a power source to improve the power factor and overall efficiency of the system. Phase Angle - the degree of measurement that corresponds to an AC waveform’s amplitude.
Page 10: Safety Symbols
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) - A percentage that is used to identify the degree of the noise/unclean signal in a power source’s output waveform. Transient - a momentary change (spike or dip) in a voltage or current waveform that can affect the performance of the DUT. Verification - comparison of measured results against a specification, usually the manufacturer's published performance figures for the product (e.g.
Page 11: Service And Maintenance
• Before applying power verify that the instrument is set to the correct line voltage and the correct fuse is installed To prevent accidental injury or death, these safety procedures must be strictly observed when handling and using the test instrument.
