    PSI 9000 2U Series Disposal of equipment A piece of equipment which is intended for disposal must, according to European laws and regulations (ElektroG, WEEE) be returned to the manufacturer for scrapping, unless the person operating the piece of equipment or an- other, delegated person is conducting the disposal.
  • Page 7: Safety

    PSI 9000 2U Series Safety 1.7.1 Safety notices Mortal danger - Hazardous voltage • Electrical equipment operation means that some parts can be under dangerous voltage. Therefore all parts under voltage must be covered! This basically applies to all models, though 40 V models according to SELV can not generate hazardous DC voltage.

    PSI 9000 2U Series Alarm conditions This section only gives an overview about device alarms. What to do in case your device indi- cates an alarm condition is described in section „3.6. Alarms and monitoring“. As a basic principle, all alarm conditions are signalled optically (text + message in the display), acoustically (if activated) and as a readable status and alarm counter via the digital interface.
  • Page 43: Manual Operation

    PSI 9000 2U Series Manual operation 3.4.1 Switching on the device The device should, as far as possible, always be switched on using the toggle switch on the front of the device.

  • Page 59: Alarms And Monitoring

    PSI 9000 2U Series Alarms and monitoring 3.6.1 Definition of terms There is a clear distinction between device alarms (see „3.3. Alarm conditions“) such as overvoltage protection or overheating protection, and user defined events such as OVD (overvoltage detection). Whilst device alarms serve to protect the device and the connected load by initially switching off the DC output, user defined events can switch off the DC output (Action = ALARM), but can also simply give an acoustic signal to make the user aware.
  • Page 60 PSI 9000 2U Series ► How to configure the device alarms Tap the touch area on the main screen. On the right side tap the white arrow to select “2. Protect”. Set the limits for the equipment alarm relevant to your application if the default value of 110% is unsuitable.

  • Page 62: The Function Generator

    PSI 9000 2U Series The function generator 3.9.1 Introduction The built-in function generator is able to create various signal forms and apply these to set values for voltage or current. In manual operation, all generator functions are available for access on the front panel. In remote control, only the customisable arbitrary generator and a XY function are available.

    PSI 9000 2U Series 3.9.4 Manual operation 3.9.4.1 Function selection and control Via the touchscreen one of the functions described above can be called up, configured and controlled. Selection and configuration are only possible when the output is switched off.
  • Page 64: Sine Wave Function

    PSI 9000 2U Series ► How to start and stop a function The function can be started either by tapping or pushing the “On/Off” button, if the DC output is currently switched off. The function then starts immediately. In case START is used while the DC output is still switched off, the DC output will be switched on automatically.

  • Page 67: Arbitrary Function

    PSI 9000 2U Series 3.9.10 Arbitrary function The arbitrary (freely definable) function offers the user further scope. Up to 100 sequences are available for use for current I and voltage U, all of which have the same parameters but which can be differently configured so that a complex function process can be built up.
  • Page 68 PSI 9000 2U Series Schematic diagram: Applications and results: Example 2 Focussing 1 cycle of 1 sequence from 100: The DC values at start and end are the same but the AC (amplitude) not. The end value is higher than the start so that the amplitude increases with each new half sine wave continuously through the sequence.
  • Page 69 PSI 9000 2U Series By linking together a number of differently configured sequences, complex progressions can be created. Smart configuration of the arbitrary generator can be used to match triangular, sine, rectangular or trapezoidal wave func- tions and thus, e.g. a sequence of rectangular waves with differing amplitudes or duty cycles could be produced.
  • Page 70 PSI 9000 2U Series 3.9.10.1 Loading and saving the arbitrary function The 100 sequences of the arbitrary function, which can be manually configured with the control panel of the device and which are applicable either to voltage (U) or current (I), can be saved to or loaded from a common USB flash drive via the front side USB port.
