.3 General Overview
The Surface Concept HVPS Eco is a HV supply in a stand-alone housing with up to 4 independent HV channels.
Each channel holds two SHV connectors, which allow to select the polarity of the output voltage of each
channel individually by connecting either to the one or to the other output channel.
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 off the device first AND pull out the power
plug.

3 Installation
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 SURF CE CONCEPT immediately. Please check the delivery
according to the packing list (see Table 1) for completeness.
1x High Voltage Power Supply Economy Series Release 041
1x BNC termination plug
1 – 4x SHV termination plug (depending on specific device layout)
Table 1: Packing list for the HVPS Eco
3. Installation
The general connection scheme of the HVPS Eco is shown in 4.3.
Finish the complete cabling before switching on the HVPS Eco and switch off the device
first before performing any changes to the cabling.

First, use the " Ground” connector (M4 screw) to ground the device.
High voltage output for each channel CH 1 to CH 4 (number of channels is device dependent), is
provided selectively to the SHV socket named “HV +” or “HV -” . The naming corresponds to the
polarity of the output voltage in respect to the ground potential.
Only one output polarity per channel can be used at one time. The connector for the other
output polarity is used to define the reference potential for the corresponding output channel
(see 4.3 for details).
Use the SHV termination plug to terminate the connector for the unused output polarity (+) or (-) to
ground or to an external reference voltage (for floating operation, see section 4.3)
In cases that no external reference voltage is applied to the device, the termination plug
must be used to ground the socket of the unused output polarity “HV ” or “HV -” (reference
potential of the corresponding channel). With a missing reference potential the HVPS Eco
module is not providing any output voltage.
Connect the power cable to the main connector.
Check if the Interlock-Plug (BNC termination plug) is connected.

4. General Device Operation
fter switching on the device (14), the display (3) shows the “Surface Concept” animated logo, while the
device is scanning for internal available HV modules and their specific settings. This can take up to several
seconds. If the device is ready for operation, it switches into the standby mode and shows an empty mask for
the voltage adjustment (see Figure 8).
Figure 5: Standby mode
Push the “Start/Standby” button in the lower left
corner of the display to switch on the high voltage.
lternatively one can press the “Channel” control
knob.
Figure 6: Operation mode
fter 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 different HV channels can be selected by turning
the “Channel” control knob (R033 & R036 only).

HVPS Economy Series - Manual
Figure 7: Operation mode – voltage adjustment
The “ djust” control knob is used to adjust the
output voltage.
Turn the “ djust” control knob
clockwise/counterclockwise to increase/
decrease the value of the output voltage in a step
width as defined 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 fit 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. dditional reference voltages (e.g.
in floating operation) are not measured and
therefore are also not displayed (see chapter 4.3
for further details)
Turn the “ djust” 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 Floating Operation on an external potential
The HVPS is specified for the floating operation on an external reference voltage of
maximum +/- 1000 V. Higher voltages can lead to internal HV sparking and to a damage
of the device.
pplication case 1: Channel 1 should be set to an output voltage of +1000 V floating on an external reference
potential of –500 V. In this case the external reference voltage is connected to the connector of the negative
polarity of channel 1 ( “HV -” ). First set the output voltage of Channel 1 to +1000 V. Then increase the external
reference voltage to the -500V. The display shows a value of CH 1 = 1000 V, but the output voltage in
respect to the ground potential is CH 1 = +500 V. The output voltage of +500V is given out on connector
“HV +” of channel 1.
pplication case 2: Channel 1 should be set to an output voltage of -500 V floating on an external reference
potential of +1000 V. In this case the external reference voltage is connected to the connector of the positive
polarity of channel 1 ( “HV +” ). First set the output voltage of Channel 1 to -500 V. Then increase the external
reference voltage to the +1000V. The display shows a value of CH 1 = 500 V, but the output voltage in
respect to the ground potential is CH 1 = +500 V. The output voltage of +500V is given out on connector
“HV -” of channel 1.

4.4 Schematic layout of the HVPS Eco
Figure 8 shows the schematic layout of the HVPS Eco and especially the layout of the HV outputs. n 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 defined by determine one of the outputs as reference potential (e.g. by termination to
ground). Voltage measurement and regulating is also only respecting the relative output voltage of the single
HV module in case of a floating operation. The absolute output voltage (as result of output voltage and
reference voltage) is not determined by the device. Figure 8 also shows the internal load and measuring
resistors. The specific values for the load and measuring resistors are given in the specification sheet.
Figure 8: Schematic layout of the HVPS Eco showing also the internal load and measuring resistors.
The single channels of the HVPS Eco are not producing any output voltage if the socket of
the unused output polarity (reference potential of the corresponding channel) is not
terminated (either to ground or to an external HV potential), because the HV modules
always need to be connected to a reference potential. A SHV termination plug for each
channel is part of the delivery.

overview display of the additional device options. The available options are device depending. Press the “Exit”
button to switch back to the display of the operation voltages.
Figure 9: “Device Options” sub-menu
The overview of the device options show the different
available options like the contact page for surface
concept or special device specific functions.
Open the specific sub-menu by pressing the
corresponding button in the touch display.
5.1 Special Function Check
The sub-menu “Special Function Check” in the device options display the different special functions currently
available for the Surface Concept HVPS D Series.
Not all listed functions are available for each single device layout.
Figure 10: “Special Functions Check” sub-menu
The “HV Master Tracking” allows the HVPS to track
an external reference voltage and to produce an
output voltage which is in a fixed defined relation to
the master voltage.
Please note: This function differs from the floating
functionality, because the master voltage is “only”
measured within the device and the HVPS is
producing a corresponding output voltage.
The “HV Master Tracking” can be switched ON/ OFF
by clicking on the corresponding button on the display
(not available for the R033 – R036).
