SECTION 1
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. For this
reason, 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
either 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.
This equipment is configured with a modular controller. This allows for the creation of systems with various
control characteristics and specifications. This manual describes the operation of the basic power source.
Detailed information relative to the UMC-31 Controller is also included is described in Section 8 of this
manual. The UPC controllers are described in a separate manual. Refer to the UPC-Series Operation Manual
for such information.
Section 9 contains product change notices, errata and data relative to customer specified modifications.
Always read this section before operating the equipment. This is especially true when modifications have been
installed, since these can change system operation.
