GPS011-EC GPS011-US GPS011-JP
Galvo Scanner System
Linear Power Supply

Original Instructions
HA0213T

Chapter 1 Overview

Introduction

The GPS011 power supplies are low noise, linear supplies designed to minimize electrical interference for maximum system resolution when using our Galvo Scanning Systems. The supplies allow two driver cards to be powered via the separate 2 m power cables supplied with the galvo units. An AC adapter with 1.6m cable enables convenient positioning in any application.
The units are supplied with the input voltage and fuses configured to be compatible in the region to which they are shipped. No further adjustment should be necessary.

Chapter 2 Safety

Safety Information

For the continuing safety of the operators of this equipment, and the protection of the equipment itself, the operator should take note of the Warnings, Cautions and Notes throughout this handbook and, where visible, on the product it self.
The following safety symbols may be used throughout the handbook and on the equipment it self.

Warning: Risk of Electrical Shock
Given when there is a risk of injury from electrical shock.
Warning
Given when there is a risk of injury to users.
Caution
Given when there is a risk of damage to the product.
Note
Clarification of an instruction or additional information.

General Warnings
Warning
The safety of any system incorporating this equipment is the responsibility of the person performing the installation.
The unit must be connected only to an earthed (grounded) mains power outlet. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
No maintenance required. No user servicable parts. If the unit fails, contact technical support.
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the unit. Never allow water to get inside the case. Do not saturate the unit. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, e.g. alcohol or benzene

Chapter 3 Installation and Operation

Environmental Conditions

Warning
Operation outside the following environmental limits may adversely affect operator safety.

Location	Indoor use only
Maximum altitude	2000 m
Temperature range	5oC to 40o C
Maximum Humidity	Less than 80% RH (non-condensing) at 31°C

To ensure reliable operation the unit should not be exposed to corrosive agents or excessive moisture, heat or dust.
If the unit has been stored at a low temperature or in an environment of high humidity, it must be allowed to reach ambient conditions before being powered up.
The unit must not be used in an explosive environment.
When siting the unit, care must be taken not to restrict access to the power switch on the rear panel.

Connecting The PSU To The Driver Card

Caution
Always ensure the power supply unit is isolated from the mains before connecting to the driver cards. Do not connect the driver cards to a ‘live’ external power supply. Doing so carries the risk of PERMANENT damage to the cards. Always power up the driver cards by connecting the power supply when the mains power is switched off. Similarly, to power down the driver cards, disconnect the power supply from the mains before disconnecting from the cards.
Under some operating conditions (e.g. the maximum current is drawn for prolonged periods), the unit can become quite hot (around 45° C). Always
ensure adequate ventillation to the unit. Do not cover the vent holes in the case. Do not place other items on top of or against the unit.

The circular 3-pin connector on the power output cable and the OUTPUT socket on the PSU are fitted with alignment keyways to ensure connection in the correct orientation. Check for correct orientation of the alignment keyways, then make connections as shown in Fig. 3.1.
Screw the outer casing of the plug clockwise until the connector is fully fastened.
Push the 3-way crimp housing on the other end of the cable into the driver card connector J10. Ensure the connector is properly locked in position.
Repeat item (3) for the remaining driver card (if used).

Connecting the AC Power

The unit must be connected only to an earthed (grounded) mains power outlet.

Note
The unit is supplied with the input voltage and fuses configured to be compatible in the region to which it was shipped. No further adjustment should be necessary.

Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear panel of the unit – see Fig. 3.3. and Fig. 3.4.
Ensure that the correct voltage range and fuse rating for your region is selected.
Caution
Selecting the incorrect voltage range or fuse will damage the unit. Ensure that both switches are set to the correct position for your region and that the fuse fitted is of the correct rating, as indicated by the screen print on the rear panel.
Plug the power cord into the wall socket.

Using the Power Supply Unit

Make connections and voltage selection settings as detailed in Section 3.2. and Section 3.3.
Move the Power switch on the rear panel to the ‘—’ position.
To disconnect the power, move the switch to the ‘0’ position.

Chapter 4 Specifications

Parameter	Value
Input Voltage Range	Switchable as follows:

100V AC 50 or 60 Hz
115V AC 60 Hz
230 V AC 50 Hz
Output Voltage| ±15 V DC 3.0A/0.1A, 1.4/6.3 msec (maximum duty cycle) a
Fuse Type| Input Voltage Dependent:
100 V: T2.5 A Anti-Surge Ceramic
115 V: T2.0 A Anti-Surge Ceramic
230 V: T1.6 A Anti-Surge Ceramic
Housing Dimensions (W x D x H)| 179 mm x 274 mm (max) x 122 mm (7.05″ x 10.79″ x 4.8″)
Weight| 4.73 kg (10.4 lbs)

Notes.
a 1.4/6.3 msec is the maximimum duty cycle for drawing max current. This means that if the unit outputs ±15 V at 3.0A for 1.4 msec, it must then output a maximum of 0.1A for 6.3 msec otherwise the unit may get hot with the risk of a potential thermal cutout.

Chapter 5 Regulatory

Declarations Of Conformity

For Customers in Europe See Section 5.2.
For Customers In The USA
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, persuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.
