2 Introduction
2.1 General Information
This manual is intended to assist users in the installation, operation and maintenance of Release Version
014 of the 19” HVPS-HC Module. It is divided into 5 chapters.
2.2 Safety Instructions
Please read this manual carefully before performing any electrical or electronic operations and strictly
follow the safety rules given within this manual.
The following symbols may appear throughout the manual:
The“caution symbol”marks warnings, which are given to prevent an accidental damaging
of the device. Do NOT ignore these warnings and follow them strictly. Otherwise no
guarantee is given for arose damages.
Note
The “note symbol” marks text passages that contain important information/hints about
the operation of the device. Follow this information to ensure a proper operation of the
device.
The “high voltage symbol” marks warnings, given in context with the description of the
operation/use of high voltage supplies and/or high voltage carrying parts.
Hazardous voltages are present that can cause serious or fatal injuries. Therefore only
persons with the appropriate training are allowed to carry out the installation, adjustment
and repair work.

2.3 General Overview
The Surface Concept 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 is a high voltage module especially designed for the
Surface Concept 19”Basic Unit, a modular supply system.
The 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 comes as a 1 channel/2 channel version which provides one/two separate
high voltages with a xed polarity.
The device can produce lethal high voltages of up to several kV. Hazardous voltages are
present, therefore only persons with the appropriate training are allowed to carry out
the installation, adjustment and repair work.
Do not open the power supply, while it is in operation. Hazardous voltages are present.
In case that the device must be opened, turn o the device rst AND pull out the power
plug.
Note
The 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 is available with dierent output voltages and dierent
maximum oating voltages. Check the specication sheet of your specic 19” HVPS-HC
Module R014 for detailed information on those parameters.

3 Introduction
3.1 Initial Inspection
Visual inspection of the system is required to ensure that no damage has occurred during shipping. If
there are any signs of damage, please contact SURFACE CONCEPT immediately. Please check the delivery
according to the packing list (see Table 1) for completeness.
• 1x 19“ HVPS-HV Module R014
Table1: Packing list for the 19“ Basic Unit R014.
3.2 Installation
The general connection scheme of the 19”HVPS-HC Module R014 is as follows:

Finish the complete cabling of the 19”HVPS-HC Module R014 before switching on the 19”
Basic Unit and switch o the device rst before performing any changes to the cabling.
• Install the 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 into a free slot of the 19”Basic Unit (if not already installed).
• Use SHV cables to connect to your application.

4 Device Layout & Operation
4.1 Device Layout
The layout of the 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 is given below.
1. SHV connector for output of operation voltage for the
rst HV channel.
(Example for an output voltage with negative polarity.)
2. SHV connector for output of operation voltage for the
second HV channel.
(Example for an output voltage with positive polarity.)
Figure 2: Layout of the 19”HVPS-HC Module R014 (exemplary comguration with a negative output polarity on channel 1 and a positive output polarity
on channel 2).

4.2 General Device Operation
After switching on the 19” Basic Unit, the display shows the “Surface Concept” animated logo, while the
device is scanning for the 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 and its specic settings. This can take up to several
seconds. If the 19”Basic Unit is ready for operation, it switches into the standby mode and shows an empty
mask for the voltage adjustment (see Figure 3).
Push the“Start/Standby” button in the lower left
corner of the display to switch on the high
voltage.
Alternatively one can press the“Channel”control
knob.
After switching on the high voltage the device
is in the so called operation mode. In operation
mode the display shows the name of the selected
channel in the top line (in this case“HV 1”) as well
as the output voltage of that channel.
The dierent HV channels can be selected by
turning the “Channel” control knob.
Figure 3: Standby mode.
Figure 4: Operation mode.
Figure 5: Operation mode – voltage adjustment.
The “Adjust” control knob is used to adjust the
output voltage. Turn the “Adjust” control knob
clockwise/counterclockwise to increase/decrease
the value of the output voltage in a step width as
dened in the line “edit step”.
The line “set value” displays the nominal value
for the output voltage as adjusted by the user.
Voltage adjustment can only be made in this line.
The line “actual” displays the actual value for the
output voltage on the output connector as measured by the device.The device always regulates the actual
value of the output voltage to t to the nominal value as set by the user. Hereby the voltage measurement
is always a relative measurement between the two HV outputs of one channel. Additional reference
voltages (e.g. in oating operation) are not measured and therefore are also not displayed (see the manual
of the specic module for further details). Turn the“Adjust”control knob clockwise/counterclockwise while
pushing it to increase/decrease the step width in the line “edit step”.
Push the„Start/Standby“-button in the lower left corner of the display again to switch back to
the “Standby” mode.

4.3 Schematic Layout of the 19” HVPS-HC Module R014
Figure 6 shows the schematic layout of the 19” HVPS-HC Module R014 and especially the layout of the HV
outputs. An internal controller measures the output voltage and regulates it to the nominal value entered
by the user or set as default value within the device. Hereby the voltage measurement is always a relative
measurement. The output polarity is xed dened (see the specic specication sheet for details on the
max. output voltage and the polarity). Figure 6 also shows the internal load and measuring resistors.

with a positive output polarity for HV channel 1 and a negative output polarity for HV channel 2.
