Safety Notices
SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these precautions or with
specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture,
and intended use of the instrument. Adaptive Power Systems assumes no liability for the
customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
GENERAL
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). The
protective features of this product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in
the operation instructions.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category I, pollution degree 2
environments. It is designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity of 80% and at
altitudes of up to 2000 meters / 6560 feet. Refer to the specifications tables for the ac mains
voltage requirements and ambient operating temperature range.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is
installed.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). To
minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an
electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to the AC power source mains through
a properly rated power cord, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground
(safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective (grounding)
conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock
hazard that could result in personal injury.
FUSES
Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type (normal blow, time
delay, etc.) should be used. Do not use repaired Fuses or short circuit the fuse holder. To do
so could cause a shock or fire hazard.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS.
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified service personnel. Do not replace
components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages
may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power,
discharge circuits and remove external voltage sources before touching components.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE.
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering
first aid and resuscitation, is present.
DO NOT EXCEED INPUT RATINGS.
This instrument may be equipped with a line filter to reduce electromagnetic interference
and must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle to minimize electric shock
hazard. Operation at line voltages or frequencies in excess of those stated on the data plate
may cause leakage currents in excess of 5.0 mA peak.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or
perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to an
Adaptive Power Systems Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety
features are maintained.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured
against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.

Standard versus Enhanced Versions
The CPS100 Series is available in one of two versions, Standard (S Suffix) or Enhanced (E
Suffix). The version is identified in the model number by either an S or an E at the end of the
model. Standard versions cannot be upgraded to Enhanced versions due to hardware and
firmware differences so desired version must be specified at time of order.
The table below highlights the differences between the two versions.

Output Voltage Coupling Modes
The CPS100 Series offers three output coupling modes that are user selectable.
Mode
Description
AC MODE
CPS100 provides AC Voltage Output (AC Coupled)
DC MODE
CPS100 provides DC Voltage Output (DC Coupled)
AC+DC MODE
CPS100 provides combination of both AC and DC Voltage Output. (AC+DC
Coupled)
Note: The maximum peak voltage of any AC+DC combination cannot
exceed 424Vpk in either positive or negative quadrant.
Table 3-1: CPS100 Series Output Coupling Modes
Voltage Ranges
Two voltage ranges are available, a 150V range (low) and a 300V range (high). Low range is
always half the maximum available voltage on the HIGH range. Maximum current in the low
range is two times that of the high range. The high range allows the maximum voltage to be
programmed.
Range values are different for AC and DC modes as follows:
Mode
150V RANGE
300V RANGE
AC
0– 150 Vac RMS
0– 300 Vac RMS
DC
0– 212 Vdc
0– 424 Vdc
Table 3-2: Available Voltage Ranges by Output Mode
An AUTO mode may be selected as well. In AUTO voltage range, the power source
automatically switches between the low and high voltage ranges as determined by the
voltage set point.
Note: AUTO mode switching causes momentary loss of output voltage as the output relay
opens to allow the power source to re-configure its output. The no-output period is about
300 msecs long so the unit under test will power down until voltage is re-applied after the
range change operation. If this behavior is not desirable, select the 300V (high) range to
prevent this from happening.

Current Protection Modes
Current protection is an important feature on programmable power sources as it allows
protection of the unit under test against damage caused by over current conditions. The
default setting for current limit is the maximum supported value for the voltage range
selected. However, it should be set to a value appropriate for protecting the unit under
test, before applying power. Current limit set values are in Aac RMS for AC current and Adc
for DC mode.
Current protection mode is available using one of two modes of operation:
Current Fold-Back: In this mode, load current is limited to the set current limit value by
reducing the output voltage. Thus, while in fold back mode, the
output voltage will be less than the programmed (set) voltage. As
the load impedance increases and thus the load current decreases,
the voltage will go up until the load current is at or below the
programmed current limit value and the voltage is at the set value.
Current Fault Mode: In this mode, the CPS100 Series will fault and open the output relay
when the load current exceeds the set current limit value for some
period. This period depends on the amount of load current. At
current levels slightly above the set value, this time may be longer.
At load currents significantly higher than the set current level – i.e. a
short circuit condition - this period will be short.
Voltage & Current Output Profiles
The CPS100 Series provides higher load current at lower voltage as long as the total output
power is within its power band. This results in a constant power voltage/current profile as
shown in the following charts for each model by output mode (AC or DC), and voltage range
(high (300Vac/424Vdc) or low (150Vac/212Vdc)).
This provides greater versatility compared to point-rated AC or DC power sources that
provide maximum current and power only at full-scale output voltage.
