Introduction &Specifications
1-1. INTRODUCTION
1-2. The Model 4265 Ais aprogrammable, bipolar dc
voltage source. Output voltage is from 0to 65.532 vdc in
two ranges; 16 and 65 vdc. Programming resolution using
the internal reference voltage is 1mv on the 16 volt range
and 4mv on the 65 volt range. Output accuracy is ±.01%
of the programmed level on both voltage ranges. After a100
/£ec settling time, aREADY/NOT READY FLAG indicates
that the output has settled to ±.01% of the programmed
increment for aresistive load. The output current is rated
at ±1 ampere maximum and is limited to approximately
±1.1 ampere in the event of an overload or short circuit.
The sink current (milliamps) is rated at 1000-10 Eout max-
imum. AProgrammable Current Limiter (Option -06) is
available to allow programming the maximum output cur-
rent to a lower level. Acurrent limit flag indicates when a
sink or source current overload exists with or without the
-06 Option.
1-3. Programming requirements are compatible with
DTL or TTL logic levels. Contact or relay closures can also
be used. The voltage source is programmed on the low
range using straight binary coding. The high range is also
programmed in the same manner, but the actual output is
four times the programmed level. Two’s complement cod-
ing is required for negative outputs when the Isolated Con-
trol Logic (-01 Option) is installed. All programming in-
puts and flag outputs are available through a50 pin Am-
phenol, Blue Ribbon connector located on the rear panel. A
+5 vdc output is also available at this connector and is used
to provide power for external programming circuitry. Nega-
tive logic is employed for programming. The logic levels
i
are as follows:
Logic “0” =+2.0 vdc to +5.0 vdc or open circuit
Logic lT* =0to +0.4 vdc or short circuit to
LOGIC GRD.
1-4. Three options are available to provide tailoring
of the power supply to fit application requirements. These
options are identified by numeric designations -03, -06,
and -09. Adescription of each option is provided in
Table 1-1. These options may be installed at the factory
when the instrument is ordered or in the field at alater
time.
1-5. Physically, the power source is completely solid
state. Plug in printed circuit boards, with easy to reach
test points and adjustments, are used for ease in servicing.
The unit is forced air cooled. This results in lower com-
ponent temperatures and thus higher reliability than would
normally be obtained in asource of this power capability.
The chassis is designed for bench top use, or it can be instal-
led in astandard equipment rack by using the Accessory
Rack Mounting Fixtures.

remote sensing is not required, the load is connected to the
respective ±output terminals and the sensing busses are not
removed. If remote sensing is required, the busses must be
removed and separate sense lines provided between the
sense terminals and the load. In either case, NEVER
operate the power source with the sense terminals discon-
nected. The CHASSIS terminal is connected directly to
the chassis and allows grounding of the load through the
input power cord, if desired. The GUARD terminals allows
load connections that can greatly reduce errors caused by
common mode signals. This guard connection should al-
ways be used if optimum noise free performance is to be
achieved.
2-18. Remote Sensing
2-19. When aload is connected to the OUTPUT ter-
minals, the t-R drop across the output power leads may be
excessive in some applications. If the rated accuracy of the
power supply is required at the load, remote sensing must
be used. For this reason, SENSE terminals are provided to
allow the power supply output to be sensed directly at the
load, thus compensating for any I-R drop in the output
power leads. Figure 24 shows an example of remote sen-
sing load connections.
NOTE!
The two jumpers on the barrier strip which bus
±sense to ±output must be removed for re-
mote sensing. When remote sensingfalways use
atwisted pair of insulated wire from the output
and sense terminals to the load Amaximum of
0.35 volts (at 25°
C
tdecreasing 0.002 volts per
degree Cat higjher temperatures) is allowable
between either OUTPUT terminal and its cor-
responding SENSE terminal The leads between
the OUTPUT and SENSE terminals and the
load must be large enough to carry the load
current of up to 1ampere and the sense cur-
rent of 1ma without exceeding this voltage.
2-20. Ground Connections
2-21. ACHASSIS terminal is provided at the rear panel.
This terminal is directly connected to the chassis of the
power source and earth ground through the round pin on
the input power plug, tf grounding of the load is desired,
this terminal provides aconvenient connection to earth
ground. When aguarded output (explained in paragraph
2-22) is not desired, this terminal should be connected to
the GUARD terminal.

2-22. Guard Connections
2-23. The power source is equipped with aguard shield
that isolates its internal circuitry from the chassis and
ground. AGUARD terminal at the rear panel is connected
to this shield and allows load connections that greatly re-
duce errors caused by common mode signals. The guard
may be driven to amaximum of 1000 volts above chassis
ground. Figure 2-5 shows asimplified diagram of aguarded
load connection.
2-24. PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
2-25. Digital control of all functions except POWER ON
is accomplished through a50 pin Amphenol, Blue Ribbon
connector on the rear panel. The power source is energized
through atoggle switch on the rear panel. Interface be-
tween the programming equipment and the power source
requires an Amphenol, Blue Ribbon 57-30500 mating con-
nector. This mating connector is available as an accessory
for the power source. It can be obtained from FLUKE
under PART NO. 266056. Installation information reguard-
ing this connector is located in Section 6.Table 2-1 lists
and describes each terminal on the Programming Connector.
2-26. Programming input requirements are compatible
with either DTL or TTL logic levels. Logic “O’1is +2.0 to
5.0 vdc or open circuit to logic ground. Logic “1” is
+0.4 vdc or short circuit to logic ground. Logic ground is
