Important Safety Instructions
Before applying power to the system, verify that your product is configured properly for your
particular application.
WARNIN
G
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.
WARNIN
G
The equipment used contains ESD sensitive parts. 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.

SECTION 1
DESCRIPTION AND
SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 Introduction
The M51 isolated interface allows complete remote programming control of either the power
supply output voltage or current using analog program signals, that may be biased at any
potential relative to the power supply return line (within the maximum voltage differential
specification). The program mode is selected by setting 5 DIP switches located on the back
panel, and the program input port is a standard 15 pin female D-SUB connector.
1.2 Specifications
Maximum Voltage Differential:
Between program input / power supply return 600VDC
Remote Programming Control Coefficient: ( ±1%)
Output Voltage (0-10V pgm, Switch Select) 1V/10% of Vo
(0-5V pgm, Switch Select) 1V/20% of Vo
(0-400mV pgm, Switch Select) 0.1V/25% of Vo
Output Current (0-10V pgm, Switch Select) 1V/10% of Io
(0-5V pgm, Switch Select) 1V/20% of Io
(0-400mV pgm, Switch Select) 0.1V/25% of Io
(Program scales can be adjusted within ±5% of the nominal value,
if required, see Section 2.4 Calibration.)
Input Impedance: 20K
Program Connector:
15 pin D-sub female - mating part 15 pin D-sub male
(typical part AMP 747908)
