GENERAL
1.0 GENERAL
This manual is written to provide the information required to use the AMX-Series AC Power
Source. Operation of the Models 105-AMX, 108-AMX, 112-AMX, 125-AMX, 140-AMX,
160-AMX, 305-AMX, 308-AMX, 312-AMX, 320-AMX, 345-AMX, 360-AMX, 390-AMX and
3120-AMX is described in this document.
This manual is an Operations Manual. Installation, operation and calibration are the subjects
covered by this manual.
1.1 USING THIS MANUAL
This manual provides instructions for installation and use of the AMX-Series Power Source
equipment. It is very important that the user reads sections 1, 3, and 4 prior to using this
equipment. A thorough understanding of these sections is required to properly operate this
equipment.
Section 2 states the specifications of the equipment. Knowledge of this information is
required to gain maximum use of this equipment for a given application. The user is
encouraged to read this section in order to gain a deeper understanding of the capabilities of
the AMX-Series Power Source.
Sections 5 and 6 list maintenance and calibration requirements of this equipment. Refer to
these sections when maintenance or calibration is required.
Section 7 describes service methodology and provides system, sub-assembly, and
component part numbers to aid the user in making factory authorized field repairs.
Section 9 contains any product change notices, errata and data relative to customer specified
modifications. Always check this section before operating the equipment. This is especially
true when modifications have been installed, since these can change system operation.

1.2 SAFETY NOTICES
The AMX-Series equipment is capable of transferring very large amounts of electrical energy
very quickly. This basic quality is fundamental to a high-performance power source. The
warnings and cautions listed below should be observed at all times.
WARNINGS are conditions which are hazardous to user personnel. All warnings throughout
this manual will be formatted as shown below. A condition which is hazardous to both
personnel and equipment will be issued as a warning.
CAUTION statements indicate a dangerous situation which may damage the equipment but is
not a threat to life or limb. Cautions will assume the format shown opposite. All cautions
should be rigorously observed
WARNING
THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS HIGH ENERGY, LOW IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS!! LETHAL POTENTIALS
ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE CABINET.
CARE MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS
OPERATOR INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RESPONDS INSTANTLY WHEN THE POSITION OF THE OUTPUT COUPLING
SWITCH IS CHANGED.
LOAD MAY BE DAMAGED DUE TO DOUBLING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTPUT ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION BEFORE
CHANGING THE OUTPUT COUPLING MODE.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WHEN SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, OR CALIBRATION ARE REQUIRED:
1) REMOVE ALL JEWELRY FROM ARMS AND NECK WHEN SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
THIS PREVENTS THE POSSIBILITY OF SHORTING THROUGH THE JEWELRY AND
CAUSING BURNS TO OR ELECTROCUTION OF THE OPERATOR.
2) WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT EYE
INJURY DUE TO FLYING PARTICLES CAUSED BY ACCIDENTAL SHORT CIRCUIT
CONDITIONS.
3) DO NOT REMOVE ANY PANELS OR COVERS WITHOUT FIRST OPENING ALL CIRCUIT
BREAKERS AND THEN REMOVING THE INPUT SERVICE.
4) SERVICE OTHER THAN CLEANING FILTERS AND CALIBRATION SHOULD BE
REFERRED TO PERSONNEL AUTHORIZED BY THE FACTORY TO SERVICE THIS
EQUIPMENT.
