Important Safety Instructions
Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your
particular application.
WARNING
Hazardous voltages may be present when covers are removed. Qualified
personnel must use extreme caution when servicing this equipment.
Circuit boards, test points, and output voltages also may be floating above
(below) chassis ground.
WARNING
The equipment used contains ESD sensitive ports. When installing
equipment, follow ESD Safety Procedures. Electrostatic discharges might
cause damage to the equipment.
Only qualified personnel who deal with attendant hazards in power supplies, are allowed to perform
installation and servicing.
Ensure that the AC power line ground is connected properly to the Power Rack input connector or
chassis. Similarly, other power ground lines including those to application and maintenance
equipment must be grounded properly for both personnel and equipment safety.
Always ensure that facility AC input power is de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting any
cable.
In normal operation, the operator does not have access to hazardous voltages within the chassis.
However, depending on the user’s application configuration, HIGH VOLTAGES HAZARDOUS TO
HUMAN SAFETY may be normally generated on the output terminals. The customer/user must
ensure that the output power lines are labeled properly as to the safety hazards and that any
inadvertent contact with hazardous voltages is eliminated.
Guard against risks of electrical shock during open cover checks by not touching any portion of the
electrical circuits. Even when power is off, capacitors may retain an electrical charge. Use safety
glasses during open cover checks to avoid personal injury by any sudden component failure.
Neither AMETEK Programmable Power Inc., San Diego, California, USA, nor any of the subsidiary
sales organizations can accept any responsibility for personnel, material or inconsequential injury,
loss or damage that results from improper use of the equipment and accessories.

1 Introduction
This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation, calibration and
maintenance of the 2003RP AC power source.
1.1 General Description
The 2003RP AC source is a high efficiency, lightweight, three-phase, 2000 VA,
programmable AC power source. In addition to the standard 2003RP model, several options
are available that may change the voltage and frequency ranges of the power source. This
user manual covers the following models:

Table 1-1: Available models
The output voltage terminals for each output phase are isolated from the chassis (earth)
ground. The nominal input can be either 107/115 VAC or 208/230 VAC at 50/60/400 Hz line
frequency.
Simple front panel controls enable the voltage, phase selection, current limit, and frequency
to be changed. An optional RS232C and IEEE 488 interface is available for applications that
require remote control and measurements. Settings are displayed for one output phase at a
time. The selected phase can be toggled between A, B, and C using the phase select key.
1.2 Accessory Equipment/Rack Slides
General Devices Company Model C300S-120-B308 rack slides may be attached to the sides
of the power source using 10-32 X 3/8 flat head screws.
12003RP-AV models may be factory configured with a single voltage range and fixed frequency output.

Remote Control

2.9 Front Panel Controls
Parameter
Specification
Controls:
Knobs:
Two knobs allow continuous change of voltage, frequency and
current limit for all three phase outputs. Voltage change is
inactive on single voltage range configuration units.
Function keys:
Keys control output state, voltage range, 7 segment LED Display
mode and selected phase for liquid crystal display.
Displays:
Two, 4 digit, 0.5” 7 segment LED:
For viewing programmed voltage, frequency, current limit for all
phases or for displaying measured current on selected phase.
Status Indicators:
13 LED‟s:
HIGH (voltage range)
AUTO (voltage range)
FREQ (frequency display)
I RMS (rms current display)
I PK (peak current display)
PWR (power display)
PF (power factor display)
A (phase selected for display)
B (phase selected for display)
C (phase selected for display)
FAULT (of output voltage)
REMOTE (interface active)
OUTPUT (on, relay closed)
(refer also to paragraph 4.1.1)
Phase Selection:
The phase selection and indication applies to the measurement
readouts only. Settings of voltage, frequency and current made
using the rotary knobs apply to all three phases.
