SICHERHEITS-INSTALLATIONS ANWEISUNGEN
Vorsicht
Vor Anschluss an das Netz ist die Aufstellanleitung wie nachstehend beschrieben zu beachten. Die
nachstehenden Sicherheitsanweisugen mussen während aller Phasen des Betriebes, des Services und
der Reparatur dieser Ausrustung beachtet werden. Alle notwendigen Bedingungen die sicherstellen,
dass die Einrichtung zu keiner Gefahr im Sinne dieser Norm führen kann, sind in diesem Handbuch
beschrieben.
Lambda EMI ist nich verantwortlich fur Fehler, die bei der Inbetriebnahme des Gerates auf Grundlage
dieser Sicherheitsanweisungen durch den Betreiber entstehen können.
Betriebsbedingungen
Die GenesysTM Stromversorgungs-Reihe ist zur installation gemass Uberspannungs-Kategorie 2
entwickelt worden.
Installatios Kategorie (Uberspannungs-Kategories) 2 bedeutet: Kleinindustrie, Geräte, bewegliche
Ausrustung etc.. mit Uberspannungen kleiner als Installation Kategorie 3.
Erdungskonzept
Dieses Produkt ist ein Gerat mit Schutzklasse1. Damit gefahrliche Energieinhalte und Spannungen
vermieden werden, ist das Geratechassis an eine Schutzerde anzuschliessen. Das Gerat muss an die
AC-Wechselspannungsversorgung mit 3 Leitern (L, N, PE) angeschlossen werden. Der PE-
Anschluss ist an einen festen Erder anzuschliessen. Bei Festverdrahtung des Gerates ist
sicherzustellen, dass der PE Anschluss als erstes durchgefuhrt wird.
Jede mogliche Unterbrechung des PE-Leiters oder Trennung der PE Masses kann einen moglichen
elektrischen Schlag hervorrufen, der Personenschaden zur Folge hatte.
Vorsicht
Erdung des DC-Ausgangs
Es besteht Energiegefahr am RS232/RS485 und IEEE Anschluss, falls die Ausgangsspannung des
Gerates grosser ist als 400V und der positive Ausgangsanschluss des Netzteiles geerdet wird. Dies gilt
insbesondere auch bei Reihenschaltungen von unterschiedlichen Netzteilen. Wird die RS232/485 oder
IEEE Schnittstelle verwendet, ist darauf zu achten, dass der Plus-Ausgangsanschluss nicht geerdet
wird.
Absicherung
Sicherungen durfen nur durch autorisierte Lambda EMI Service Personen ausgetauscht werden. Um
Brandgefahr vorzubeugen, sind nur Sicherungen zu verwenden mit gleicher Bauart und
Auslosecharakteristik. Siehe hierzu Wartungsanweisungen in Kapitel 6 bezuglich Sicherungen.

Der Betrieb des Gerates ist nur fur den dafur spezifizierten Wechselspannungsbereich und der
angegebenen Frequenz erlaubt.
Der Nominaleingangsspannungsbereich der GenesysTM Serie liegt bei 100-240VAC mit 50/60Hz. Fur
einen sicheren Betrieb des Gerates ist eine Abweichung von max. +/-10% der Nominalspannung
erlaubt.
Spannungsfuhrende Teile
Die Gerateabdeckung darf nur im stromlosen Zustand geoffnet werden. Interne Modifikationen, sowie
Bauteileaustausch ist nur durch Lambda EMI qualifiziertes Personal erlaubt. Vor Austausch von
Bauteilen ist das Netzkabel bzw. Die Versorgungsspannung zu trennen.
Energieversorgungsanschlusse sind immer zu trennen um Personenverletzungen durch gefahrliche
Energieinhalte und Spannungen auszuschliessen. Die Stromkreise sind zu entladen, extreme
Spannunsquellen sind zu entfernen bevor Bauteile bzw. Komponenten getauscht werden.

1.2 INTRODUCTION
1.2.1 General Description
GenesysTM power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies. The
GenesysTM series is power factor corrected and operates from AC voltage range of 190-240VAC three
phase for 200V models and 380-415VAC three phase for 400VAC models. Output Voltage and Cur-
rent are continuously displayed and LED indicators show the complete operating status of the power
supply. The Front panel controls allow the user to set the output parameters, the protections levels
(Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage limit and Foldback) and preview the settings. The rear panel
includes the necessary connectors to control and monitor the power supply operation by remote ana-
log signals or by the built-in serial communication (RS232/RS485).GPIB programming, LXI certified
LAN and Isolated-Analog programming/monitoring are optional.

Analog inputs and outputs are provided at the rear panel for analog control of the power supply. The
Output Voltage and the Current can be programmed by analog voltage or by resistor, and can be
monitored by analog voltage. The power supply output can be remotely set to On or Off and analog
signals monitor the proper operation of the power supply and the mode of operation (CV/CC).
1.2.7 Parallel operation
GenesysTM power supplies of the same Output Voltage and Current rating can be paralleled in a
master-slave configuration with automatic current sharing to increase power available.
1.2.8 Output connections
Output connections are made to rear panel bus-bars for models up to 100V and to a 4-terminal wire
clamp connector for models above 100V rated output voltage. Either the positive or negative terminal
may be grounded or the output may be floated. Models up to 60VDC Rated Output shall not float out-
puts more than +/- 60VDC above/below chassis ground. Models >60VDC Rated Output shall not float
outputs more than +/-600VDC above/below chassis ground. Contact factory for assistance with higher
float voltage applications.
Local or remote sense may be used. In remote sense, the voltage drop on the load wires should be
minimized. Refer to the specifications for the maximum voltage drop value.
