Section 6.3
Installation Considerations
The Xsolo models may be mounted on any of three surfaces
using standard M3 screws. The chassis comes with four mount-
ing points on the base. Maximum allowable torque is 2Nm. The
maximum penetration depth is 6mm. Maintain a 50mm minimum
clearance at both ends of the Xsolo power supply and route all
cables so airflow is not obstructed. The XS1000 unit draws air in
on the input side and exhausts air out the load side. If airflow duct-
ing is used, avoid sharp turns that could create back pressure.
XS500 units are convection cooled. See xcelsys Application
Note: AN1504 on
website.
Avoid excessive bending of output power cables after they are
connected to the Xsolo powerMods. For high current outputs, use
cable-ties to support heavy cables and minimise mechanical
stress on output studs. Be careful not to short-out to neighbouring
output studs.
The maximum torque recommended on output connectors is
3Nm. Avoid applications in which the unit is exposed to excessive
shock or vibration that exceed the specified levels. In such appli-
cations, a shock absorption mounting design is required.
Section 6.4
Xsolo Control and Signals (Analog)
Voltage Adjustment
The Xsolo has been designed with maximum user flexibility as a
key objective. The output voltage can be adjusted over a wide
range by a number of methods.
Voltage adjustment and setting may be achieved by:
1. Voltage Setting via the on board potentiometer.
2. Remote voltage programming by applying a control voltage
(Vcontrol) between J5 Pin 9 (Vtrim) and J5 Pin 10 (-Sense)
3. Remote voltage programming by applying a resistor between
J5 Pin 9 (Vtrim) and J5 Pin 10 (-Sense).
An xcel spreadsheet has been developed to help users calcu-
late output voltage and control values. These are available to
download from the support section of our website;
http://www.excelsys.com/technical-support/
XS500-24 and XS1000-24
By applying a control voltage (Vcontrol) between J5 Pin 9 (Vtrim)
and J5 Pin 10 (-Sense) the output voltage of XS1000-24 and
XS500-24 may be adjusted over a wide range. Vcontrol can be
read from the graph below or calculated with the formula:
Voutput = 12.59 x Vcontrol
Important: Vcontrol must not exceed 2.5V
xample.
Setting the output voltage to 20VDC via the Vtrim Pin
Voutput/12.59 = Vcontrol
20V/12.59 = 1.59V.
Vcontrol = 1.59V
See Graph for full range.
XS500-48 and XS1000-48
Using an external Voltage source (Vcontrol), the output voltage of
the XS1000-48 and XS500-48 may be adjusted over a wide
range.
By applying a control voltage (Vcontrol) between J5 Pin 9 (Vtrim)
and J5 Pin 10 (-Sense) the output voltage of XS1000-48 and
XS500-48 may be adjusted over a wide range. Vcontrol can be
read from the graph below or calculated with the formula
Voutput = 24.75 x Vcontrol
Important: Vcontrol must not exceed 2.5V
xample.
Setting the output voltage to 40VDC via the Vtrim Pin
Voutput/24.75 = Vcontrol
40V/24.75 = 1.62V.
Vcontrol = 1.62V
See Graph below for full range.
Remote voltage programming by an external resistor/poten-
tiometer can also be implemented on the Xsolo. Simply apply
the appropriate resistor value between J5 Pin 9 (Vtrim) and J5
Pin 10 (-Sense). An xcel spreadsheet has been developed to
help users calculate output voltage and resistor values. These
are
available to download from the support section of our website;
http://www.excelsys.com/technical-support/
Current Limit Adjustment ( Voltage)
The Xsolo has been designed to allow users to adjust the onset
of Current Limit for reduced power or constant current applica-
tions. By applying a voltage (Vcontrol) between the Itrim pin, (J5
Pin 13), and -Vout, current limit of the Xsolo can be adjusted
from 0 A to the max rated current of the supply.
An xcel spreadsheet has been developed to help users calcu-
late output current and control voltage values. These are available
to download from the support section of our website;

Current Limit Adjustment on XS1000-48
By applying a control voltage (Vcontrol) between Itrim (J5, Pin 13)
and -Vout, current limit can be adjusted from 0-21A. Vcontrol can
be read from the graph below or calculated with the formula
Ioutput = 8.06 x Vcontrol
Important: Vcontrol should not exceed 3.0V for XS1000-48
xample.
Setting the output current limit of the XS1000-48 to 15A via the
Itrim Pin
Ioutput/8.06 = Vcontrol
15A/8.06 = 1.86VDC.
Vcontrol = 1.86VDC
See Graph for full range.
Current Limit Adjustment via Resistor/Potentiometer
The Xsolo has been designed to allow users to adjust the onset
of Current Limit by applying a resistor between the Itrim pin, (J5
Pin 13), and -Vout. An xcel spreadsheet has been developed
to help users calculate the appropriate resistor values to set out-
put current. These are available to
download from the support section of our website;
http://www.excelsys.com/technical-support/
Current Limit Programming (Foldback)
The Current Limit characteristics of the Xsolo can be pro-
grammed to be either Straight Line or Foldback. The previous
sections refer to setting the Straight Line Current Limit of the
Xsolo. To implement Foldback Current Limit, an xcel spread-
sheet has been developed to help users calculate the appropri-
ate resistor values to define the onset and final current limit
points of the foldback current curve These are available to down-
load from the support section of our website;
http://www.excelsys.com/technical-support/
Remote O /OFF
The Xsolo may be inhibited by means of an appropriate signal
applied to an opto-isolated input (diode of an opto-isolater) on
pins J5 connector Pin 2 (positive) and Pin 1 (negative). The delay
from Inhibit to output turning OFF is typically <1ms.
Maximum current source allowed is 6.5mA.
Maximum applied voltage allowed is 13V.
Fan Fail
Fan Fail is an Open collector signal indicating that at least one of
the Xsolo fans has failed. This does not cause power supply
shutdown. The power supply will continue to operate for 10ms
after the temperature alarm signal is generated.
Current Limit Adjustment on XS500-24
By applying a control voltage (Vcontrol) between Itrim (J5, Pin 13)
and -Vout, current limit can be adjusted from 0-21A. Vcontrol can
be read from the graph below or calculated with the formula
Ioutput = 15.27 x Vcontrol
Important: Vcontrol should not exceed 1.5V for XS500-24
xample.
Setting the output current limit of the XS500-24 to 15A via the
Itrim Pin
Ioutput/15.267=Vcontrol
15A/15.267 = 0.98V.
Vcontrol = 0.98VDC
Current Limit Adjustment on XS1000-24
By applying a control voltage (Vcontrol) between Itrim (J5, Pin 13)
and -Vout, current limit can be adjusted from 0-42A. Vcontrol can
be read from the graph below or calculated with the formula
Ioutput = 15.267 x Vcontrol
Important: Vcontrol should not exceed 3.0V for XS1000-24
xample.
Setting the output current limit of the XS1000-24 to 30A via the
Itrim Pin
Ioutput/15.267=Vcontrol
30A/15.267 = 1.96VDC.
Vcontrol = 1.96VDC
See Graph for full range.
Current Limit Adjustment on XS500-48
By applying a control voltage (Vcontrol) between Itrim (J5, Pin 13)
and -Vout, current limit can be adjusted from 0-10.5A. Vcontrol
can be read from the graph below or calculated with the formula
Ioutput = 8.06 x Vcontrol
Important: Vcontrol should not exceed 1.5V for XS500-48
xample.
Setting the output current limit of the XS500-48 to 7.5A via the
Itrim Pin
Ioutput/8.06 = Vcontrol
7.5A/8.06 = 0.93V.
Vcontrol = 0.93VDC

The Fan Fail signal is accessed via J5 connector Pin 12. There is
an on-board series current limit resistor of 2k connecting Pin 12 to
the collector of an NPN transistor opto-coupler output. The
emitter is connected to J5 Pin 8 – or Pin 14 (Common). When a
fan-fail condition is detected this transistor turns off.
Maximum current source allowed is 6.5mA.
Maximum applied voltage allowed is 13V.
AC Mains Fail
AC Mains fail signal is accessed through J5 connector Pin 6.
There is an on-board series current limit resistor of 2kohm
connecting Pin 6 to the collector of an NPN transistor opto-
coupler output. The emitter is connected to J5 Pin 8 or Pin 14
(Common).During normal operation the transistor is ON. When
input voltage is lost or goes below 80VAC the opto-transistor is
turned OFF at least 2 ms before loss of output regulation. (The
output voltage waveform above assumes a pull-up resistor to a
maximum voltage of +13V)
Maximum current source allowed is 6.5mA.
Maximum applied voltage allowed is 13V.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
This is an opto-isolated open collector transistor signal
indicating that excessive temperature has been reached due to
fan failure or operation beyond ratings. This signal is activated
at least 10ms prior to system shutdown. The OTP signal is
accessed via J5 connector Pin 7. There is an on-board series
connect limit resistor of 2Kohm connecting Pin 7 to the collector
of an NPN transistor opto-coupler output.The emmitter is
connected to J5 Pin 8 or Pin 14 (Common).
The Fan Fail and Temp Alarm signal waveforms in the diagram
assume connection via a pull-up resistor to the 12 V bias source
or an external voltage.
Remote Sense
Remote sensing can be used to compensate for voltage drops in
the output loads.
Remote sensing may be implemented by connecting the
Positive Sense pin (J5 pin 11) to the positive side of the remote
load and the Negative Sense pin (J5 pin 10) to the negative side
of the remote load. The maximum line drop, which can be com-
pensated for by remote sensing, is 0.5V, subject to not exceed-
ing the maximum module voltage at the output terminals.
Power Good Signal
The Xsolo contains an internal comparator which monitors the
output voltage and determines whether this voltage is within
normal operation limits. When the output voltage is within nor-
mal limits, the PowerGood signal is activated. The signal is
implemented by an open collector of an opto-isolater which is
available on J5 Pin 3 (collector) and J5 Pin 4 (emitter) (tran-
sistor ON = Power Good).
Section 6.5
Parallel Connection and +1 Redundant
operation
How to Connect in Parallel
To achieve increased current capacity, 2 or more Xsolo power
supplies may be connected in parallel. To connect in parallel the
current share header J20 must be added to each Xsolo product,
all -Vo pins must be connected together and then the outputs
must be trimmed to within 5mV of each other using the on-board
potentiometer. Only then can the positive parallel connectors be
attached, and the parallel supplies connected to the load.
For optimal current sharing with OR-ing option a 10% min load
is recommended. If paralleling 3 or more Xsolos consult
xcelsys for applications support.
Recommended Jumper for J20: HARWIN M7567-05
(Jumper Socket, Black, 2.54mm, 2-way)
How to implement +1 Redundancy
Xsolo can be utilised in systems that require N+1 redundant
operation. The OR-ing option must be selected. Then simply
connect the required number of Xsolo power supplies in paral-
lel using the procedure for Parallel Connection of Xsolo.

Xsolo Acoustic oise
The XS500 provides up to 504W with no fan cooling and is
therefore a silent power supply. The XS1000 has an integral
temperature controlled fan that only operates if and when the
output load and internal component temperatures require.
Please refer to the Acoustic Noise vs Output Power XS1000
graph below.
At loads below 500W the fan is not required and the XS1000 is
Section 6.7
Xsolo Efficiency
The Xsolo series offer unrivalled efficiency with a maximum effi-
ciency of over 92%. It is often the case that power supplies are
operating at lower levels than their maximum ratings. Most
power supplies have optimised efficiency at a higher load ratings
(close to full rating) but perform significantly worse at light or
lower loads.
The Xsolo design and component selection ensures that conver-
sion losses are kept to a minimum over a wide range of output
loads. For example, in the graph below, The XS1000 is still over
90% efficient at 30% of rated output (300W).

MTBF and Temperature
Reliability and MTBF are highly dependent on operating tem-
perature. The figures above are given at 40°C. For each 10°C
decrease, the MTBF increases by a factor of approximately 2.
Conversely, however, for each 10°C increase, the MTBF
reduces by a similar factor. Therefore, when comparing manu-
facturer's quoted MTBF figures, look at the temperature infor-
mation provided. Contact xcelsys for detailed analysis of MTBF
for your specific application conditions.

Reliabilty
The 'bath-tub' curve shows how the failure rate of a power supply
develops over time. It is made up of three separate stages.
Immediately after production, some units fail due to defective
components or production errors. To ensure that these early fail-
ures do not happen while in the possession of the user, xcelsys
carries out a burn-in on each unit, designed to ensure that all
these early failures are detected at xcelsys. After this period,
the power supplies fail very rarely, and the failure rate during this
period is fairly constant. The reciprocal of this failure rate is the
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures).
At some time, as the unit approaches its end of life, the first signs
of wear appear and failures become more frequent. Generally
'lifetime' is defined as that time where the failure rate increases to
five times the statistical rate from the flat portion of the curve.
In summary, the MTBF is a measurement of how many devices
fail in a period of time (i.e. a measure of reliability), before signs
of wear set in. On the other hand, the lifetime is the time after
which the units fail due to wear appearing.
The MTBF may be calculated mathematically as follows:
MTBF = Total x t / Failure , where
Total is the total number of power supplies operated simultane-
ously.
Failure is the number of failures.
t is the observation period.
MTBF may be established in two ways, by actual statistics on
the hours of operation of a large population of units, or by cal-
culation from a known standard such as Telecordia SR-332 and
MIL-HDBK-217 and its revisions.
Determining MTBF by Calculation
MTBF, when calculated in accordance with Telecordia, MIL-
HDBK-217 and other reliability tables involves the summation of
the failure rates of each individual component at its operating
temperature. The failure rate of each component is determined
by multiplying a base failure rate for that component by its oper-
ating stress level.
The result is FPMH, the failure rate per million operating
hours for that component.
Then FPMH for an assembly is simply the sum of the individual
component FPMH.
Total FPMH = FPMH1 + FPMH2 + ………….. +FPMHn
MTBF (hours) = 1,000,000
FPMH
In this manner, MTBF can be calculated at any temperature.

EMC Characteristics
EMC Directive 2004/108/EC
Component Power Supplies such as the UltiMod, Xsolo and
Xgen series are not covered by the MC directive. It is not pos-
sible for any power supply manufacturer to guarantee conformi-
ty of the final product to the MC directive, since performance is
critically dependent on the final system configuration. System
compliance with the MC directive is facilitated by xcelsys
products compliance with several of the requirements as out-
lined in the following paragraphs. Although the UltiMod, Xsolo
and Xgen series meet these requirements, the C mark does
not cover this area.

Guidelines for Optimum EMC Performance
All xcelsys products are designed to comply with uropean
Normative limits ( N) for conducted and radiated emissions and
Immunity, when correctly installed in a system. However, power
supply compliance with these limits is not a guarantee of system
compliance and system MC performance can be impacted by
a number of items.
Cabling arrangements and PCB tracking layouts are the great-
est contributing factors to system MC performance. All cables
and PCB tracks should be treated as radiation sources and
antenna. very effort should be made to minimise current carry-
ing loops that can radiate, and to minimise loops that could have
noise currents induced into them.
a. Keep all cable lengths as short as possible.
b. Minimise the area of power carrying loops to minimise radia-
tion, by using twisted pairs of power cables with the maximum
twist possible.
c. Run PCB power tracks back to back.
d. Minimise noise current induced in signal carrying lines, by twisted
pairs for sense cables with the maximum twist possible.
e. Do not combine power and sense cables in the same harness
f. nsure good system grounding. System arth should be a
“starpoint”. Input earth of the equipment should be directed to
the “starpoint” as soon as possible. The power supply earth
should be connected directly t
