Brochure/Data Sheet |
Description
Now you can test any
product that operates from AC power with the most compact, versatile
power source in the test industry. The L-Series’ small size provides
more power per inch than most other AC supplies. Highly efficient,
these products dissipate less heat than previous generation systems
and allow up to an additional 10 % output power.
With a programmable controller, L-Series models provide the most
comprehensive set of programmable functions in the industry.
Automatic remote calibration and comprehensive self-tests simplify
maintainability.
All L Series units are completely self-contained. Control is through
an embedded oscillator, factory configured to your specific
requirements. Output parameters are controlled via the front panel
or the IEEE-488 bus. Bus programming, standard with -P,
-PT and HGA controllers, allows programming and measurement function
readback compatible with a number of other standards including VXI,
MXI and RS232 via recommended translators. To simplify programming,
the standard unit supports both Abbreviated Plain English
programming and an ATLAS-based control language.
For avionics applications, any 3-phase model can be configured with
26 V and 5 V auxiliary outputs. (AX option)
The L Series is ideal for applications where small size, low heat
dissipation and light weight are important. These include DC power
supply testing, production test, quality assurance verification,
engineering and ATE. |
Controller Capabilities
The L Series uses a modular
plug-in controller approach that enables several controllers with
different feature levels to be selected. For simple manual operation, the
-M controller provides rotary knobs for setting voltage and frequency.
Both front panel and computer control is available using one of the -P or
-PT controller options. Units equipped with -P or -PT controller options
also offer built in measurement functions. The following controller
options are available for the L Series.

* Frequency range
can be extended down to 17 Hz at reduced voltage. Models 6000L and up have
upper frequency range of 440 Hz when in single phase output configuration.
All programmable controllers offer output
measurement functions for voltage, rms current, power, power factor, phase
(three phase systems) and frequency. Three phase models can be used in
single phase mode by adding the -MODE option which allows automatic
switching between single and three phase modes from both the front panel
and the IEEE-488 bus.
Programmable controllers also include a standard
IEEE-488 remote control interface and a Windows ™ Graphical User Interface
(GUI) for PC control.
Exclusive

language support and free Windows ™ application software
· Optional
MIL-STD704 and RTCA-DO160C test firmware
Applications
The extended output frequency range of 17 Hz
to 5000 Hz (-P Controller only with certain models) makes the L Series
suitable for both commercial and avionics applications. Dual voltage
ranges provide maximum output current at any programmed voltage up to 400
Volt. (-EHV option, some options are mutually exclusive) The built in
measurement functions often eliminate the need for additional test
equipment. Due to the many configuration possibilities of the L Series
family of products, California Instruments is able to supply systems that
specifically meet your application requirements. The L Series offers many
options and configuration choices, some of which affect output ranges.
Contact factory for configuration information.
Remote Control
 All L Series AC
sources shipped with a programmable controller (-P or -PT) include a
Windows ™ Graphical User Interface (GUI) program. The GUI supports all
functions and capabilities of the L Series controller used.
· Control
all output parameters such as voltage, current limit, phase and
frequency.
· Compile lists of transient programs on disk for quick
recall and execution
· Measure and record key output parameters such as
volt rms, current, peak current, real power, and power factor.
· Run
RTCA/DO160C (requires option -160) or MIL-STD 704D tests (requires option
-704)
· Monitor remote control commands over the bus using the built in
command viewer window to quickly learn how to program the L Series
yourself.
Of course, drivers for popular programming environments
such as LabView ™ are available as well for custom software development.
If needed, the front panel can be locked out to prevent operator
intervention during test runs.
Available Models:
