CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 USER MANUAL CONTENT

This User's Manual contains the operating instructions, installation instructions and specifications
TM
of the Genesys GENH 750W power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard power
supplies, including the built-in RS232/RS485 serial communication. For information related to op-
eration with the optional IEEE programming, refer to User's Manual for Power Supply IEEE Pro-
gramming Interface. (Lambda Americas P/N 83-030-200).

1.2 INTRODUCTION

1.2.1

General Description

TM
Genesys power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies.
TM
The Genesys series is power factor corrected and operates from worldwide AC voltage range
continuously. Output Voltage and Current are continuously displayed and LED indicators show
the complete operating status of the power supply. The Front panel controls allow the user to set
the output parameters, the protections levels (Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage limit and
Foldback) and preview the settings. The rear panel includes the necessary connectors to control
and monitor the power supply operation by remote analog signals or by the built-in serial commu-
nication (RS232/RS485). GPIB programming and Isolated-Analog programming/monitoring are
optional.
