1.Introduction
This chapter describes the general characteristics and main features of the F1K5-
DISS power dissipation unit.
1.1 F1K5-DISS Overview
The FAST-PS-1K5 by CAEN ELS is an independent current- or voltage-
controlled digital bipolar power supply module. Standalone, the FAST-PS-1K5 is a
bipolar power converter able to work in the positive current/positive voltage and
negative current/negative voltage quadrants only continuously.
The F1K5-DISS unit adds current/voltage sinking capabilities to the system so
that a FAST-PS-1K5 together with a F1K5-DISS becomes a full 4-quadrant system
capable not only sourcing but also sinking up to 1.500 W.
There are two commercially available models for the F1K5-DISS unit that can be
matched to specific models of the FAST-PS-1K5 power unit:
Model Name

Voltage
Compatible with
FAST4R100015
±100 A
±15 V
FAST-PS-1K5 100-15
FAST4R050030
±50 A
±30 V
FAST-PS-1K5 50-30
Table 1: F1K5-DISS models
The F1K5-DISS module is compact and fits in a single 19-inch 1U standard
crate. The whole system together with a FAST-PS-1K5 fits in a 19” - 3U slot.

2.Installation
This chapter contains the main instructions for initial inspection and preparation
for use.
2.1 Preparation for Use
In order to put the system into operation, the power supply must be connected to
an appropriate AC source. The AC source voltage should be within the power supply
specification. Do not apply power before reading this manual. Table 2 Error!
Reference source not found.lists the basic setup procedure. Follow the instructions in
the given sequence to prepare the power supply for use.

2.2 Initial Inspection
Prior to shipment, this F1K5-DISS unit was inspected and found free of
mechanical or electrical defects. Upon unpacking of the power supply, inspect for any
damage which may have occurred in transit.
The inspection should confirm that there is no exterior damage to the power
supply such as broken switches or connectors and that all panels and display are not
scratched or cracked. Keep all packing material until the inspection has been completed.
If damage is detected, compile the RMA form available to the CAEN ELS web site.
