This device must be installed and used only in compliance with the standards listed
and applicable requirements.
Certification
Certain options of this product are certified by:
• CE marking is self addressed by AE Compliance Engineering
• EMC measurements verified by UNISYS PCTC.
For more information, refer to the letter of conformance (US) or declaration of
conformity (EU) accompanying the product.
Installation Requirements
Conditions of Use
To be in compliance with the stated directives and standards, you must meet the
following conditions of use.
• Install and operate this device in an overvoltage category II installation only.
• Install and operate this device only in a pollution degree 2 or better environment,
which means an indoor location such as a computer room, office, or factory floor
where only non-conductive pollution occurs during operation. Occasionally, a
temporary conductivity caused by condensation occurs when the device is not
operating.
Operating and maintenance personnel must receive proper training
before installing, troubleshooting, or maintaining high-energy electrical
equipment. Potentially lethal voltages could cause death, serious
personal injury, or damage to the equipment. Ensure that all appropriate
safety precautions are taken.
RISK OF DEATH OR BODILY INJURY. Disconnect all sources of input
power before working on this unit or anything connected to it.

2Theory
The following sections provide a general description of the Automatic Matching
Network Power Supply 2A (AMN PS-2A) controller and a theory of how the
controller operates.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMN PS-2A controller monitors and controls the positions of the load and tune
capacitors within the AM family of matching network products, including the AM5,
AM10, AM20, AM30, AM50, AM100, AM150, and AM250.
The AMN PS-2A is completely self contained, and it provides all necessary circuitry
for controlling the servomotor system in matching networks without internal
controllers.
The AMN PS-2A controller can be purchased in versions that use either 115 Vac or
230 Vac source power. These versions are also available with a 12 Vdc external fan
option. The external fan option provides +12 Vdc for an external fan, which is
mounted onto and provides additional cooling for the matching network. This voltage
is provided through pins 14 (+12 Vdc) and 15 (ground) of the matching network
connector (J1).
The indicators and meters on the front panel of the AMN PS-2A allow the user to
monitor controller status information, including:
• Power on/off
• Failure status
• Tune and load capacitor positions
• Tune and load capacitor minimum limits
• Tune and load capacitor maximum limits
The AMN PS-2A provides flexibility by offering three modes with which the user can
operate the matching network load and tune servomotors:
•Inautomatic mode, the matching network’s phase and magnitude detectors
actively control the servomotor speed and direction of travel.
•Inmanual mode, the user manually controls the servomotors through the
momentary switches (labeled “-” and “+”) on the AMN PS-2A front panel.
•Inremote mode, a user-supplied external 0 to 5 Vdc signal controls the position
of the servomotors (through the remote interface on the AMN PS-2A).
