SECTION 1
GENERAL
1 GENERAL
This manual provides information required to use an ASX-Series AC Power Source. Operation
of the ASX series models: 115-ASX, 120-ASX, 140-ASX, 160-ASX, 315-ASX, 320-ASX,
345-ASX, 360-ASX, and 3120-ASX is described in this document. This is a general Operations
Manual. Installation, operation, and calibration are the subjects covered.
The ASX products are typically configured with a modular controller. This allows for the creation
of systems with various control characteristics and specifications. For detailed control
description and control and metering specifications, see the UPC controller manual supplied with
the unit.
1.1 USING THIS MANUAL
This manual provides instructions for installation and use of the ASX-Series Power Source
equipment. For this reason, it is very important that the user reads sections 1 GENERAL
information, 3 INSTALLATION, and 4 OPERATION, prior to using this equipment. A thorough
understanding of these sections is required to safely and properly operate this equipment.
Section 2 lists 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 ASX-Series Power
Source.
Sections 5 and 6 list MAINTENANCE and CALIBRATION requirements of this equipment. Refer
to these sections when either maintenance or calibration is required.
Section 7 describes SERVICE methodology and provides system, sub-assembly, and
component part numbers to aid the operator in making factory authorized field repairs.
Section 9 contains product change notices, errata, and data relative to customer specified
modifications. Read Section 9 before operating the equipment. This is especially true when
modifications (MODs) have been installed, since these can change system operation.
If questions arise while reading this manual, the user is encouraged to call the Pacific Power
Source. Pacific maintains a toll-free number which is 1-800-854-2433 (1-800-472-8465 inside
California).

1.2 SAFETY NOTICES
The ASX-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 on page 3. 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.
VOLTAGE AT THE TERMINALS RESPONDS INSTANTLY WHEN THE OUTPUT IS ACTIVATED.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WHEN SERVICE, MAINTENANCE, OR CALIBRATION ARE REQUIRED:
1) REMOVE ALL JEWELRY FROM HANDS, ARMS AND NECK WHEN SERVICING THIS EQUIPMENT.
THIS PREVENTS THE POSSIBILITY OF SHORTING THROUGH THE JEWELRY AND CAUSING
BURNS 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 PANEL OR COVER WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE INPUT SERVICE
BY OPENING ALL CIRCUIT BREAKERS.
4) SERVICE OTHER THAN EXTERNAL CLEANING SHOULD BE REFERRED TO PERSONNEL
AUTHORIZED BY THE FACTORY TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT.
