General Information

Single output programmable DC power supplies.

Output voltage is: 0 to 30.0V for Model 9120

0 to 20.0V for Model 9121

0 to 60.0 V for Model 9122

0 to 30.0 V for Model 9123

Output current is: 0 to 3.00A for Model 9120

0 to 5.00 A for Model 9121

0 to 2.50 A for Model 9122

0 to 5.00 A for Model 9123

The power supply can be locally or remote controlled.

Available interfaces for 912x power supply models:

9120 9121 9122 9123

RS-232 Standard Standard Standard Standard

GPIB / 488 Optional Optional Optional Standard

The commands available in remote interface mode are

•SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands

(1999 SCPI standard)

•IEEE 488.2 commands

•IEEE 488 bus commands (only for GPIB / 488 interface)

Features

•Constant Voltage / Constant Current modes of operation

This power supply can operate in either constant voltage or constant current

modes. The passing from one mode of operation to another is automatic.

The active mode of operation is indicated using two indicators:

CV –constant voltage mode of operation

CC –constant current mode of operation

•Overvoltage protection

Overvoltage protection circuit can be locally or remote activated.

When it is active, ovp indicator is displayed.

•Output on / off

When output off, output voltage is 0 V.

This permits a zero output voltage without switching off the power supply.

•100 operating states storage

States are identified by location number and name.

Stored parameters are: voltage limit, voltage step, overvoltage protection level,

state of overvoltage protection circuit, current limit, current step, voltage trigger

value, current trigger value, trigger delay value, trigger source, stored state

name, state of display, output state.

After power on, state 0, named power_up will become the current operating

state.

•error messages

Errors are stored in a 20 locations FIFO (first in first out) queue.

They can be read in local mode (error number returned) or in remote operation

mode (error number and definition returned).

Every error is announced by a beep and the err indicator.

Local mode operation

Front Panel Description

Memory Key

Note: Memory location 00 is the power_up state. When the unit is powered up,

the power supply will set itself to the settings stored in location 00.

Note: If you press the Recall button while turning the power on,the power

supply will power up using memory location 01 parameters.

This button is used to store power supply’s current operating state in non-

volatile memory. Using this function all operating parameters are saved so they

can be recalled. You can store 100 different operating states (numbered from 0

to 99) in the non-volatile memory.

Stored parameters are: voltage limit, voltage step, overvoltage protection level,

state of overvoltage protection circuit, current limit, current step, voltage trigger

value, current trigger value, trigger delay value, trigger source, stored state

name, state of display, output state.

By pressing Memory key, you enter in Memory menu.

By turning the knob following options will be displayed:

Store State

Name State

Exit
