Introduction to the Quaternary Pump

The Main Power Supply Assembly

When overload conditions occur, the power supply turns off all output voltages. Turning the line power off and on again resets the power supply to normal operation if the cause of the overload condition has been removed.

An over-temperature sensor in the main power supply is used to turn off output voltages if the temperature exceeds the acceptable limit (for example, if the cooling fan of the quaternary pump fails). To reset the main power supply to normal operating conditions, turn the quaternary pump off, wait until it is approximately at ambient temperature and turn the quaternary pump on again.

 

The following table gives the specifications of the main power supply.
