Power Options - THORLABS KIM101 Kinesis User Manual

this with the user friendly Kinesis software (supplied) allows the user to very quickly
get up and running with complex move sequences in a short space of time. Advanced
custom motion control applications and sequences are also possible using the
extensive .Net programming environment also supplied. This programming library is
compatible with many development tools such as LabView, Visual Basic, Visual C++,
C++ Builder, LabWindows/CVI, and Delphi.
In the remainder of this handbook, operation of the unit is described for both front
panel and PC operation. Tutorial sections (Chapter 4 and Chapter 5) provide a good
initial understanding on using the unit and reference section (Chapter 6) covers all
operating modes and parameters in detail.

1.2 Power Options

A single way wall plug KPS201* supply for powering a single K-Cube Driver is
available.
* The previous-generation KPS101 power supply is also compatible and can be used
to power a single K-Cube Driver.
Caution
Due to the nature of its design, and its non-linear high frequency switching, the
KIM101 unit is not compatible with the KCH301 and KCH601 hubs. Use the
KPS201 power supply unit. The previous-generation KPS101 is also
compatible.
Caution
Do not use a power supply with damaged, cracked or split wires. In such cases,
the supply could still power up the cube, but the integrity of the ground return
may be compromised. This could result in a hazardous live voltage being
generated.
Any obvious signs of damage to the power supply lead should result in
immediate replacement of the PSU.
