Description

Linear Power Supply

The linear power supply board takes multiple voltage inputs from the

Board

power transformer and produces +5, +15, -15, +12 VDC outputs. The

 

outputs are routed to two external connectors, P2 and P3. See

 

Figure 9-5. The +5 is used for operating the CPU. The ± 15 is used in

 

several locations for running op-amps and IC's. The +12 is used for

 

operating fans and valves.

 

 

Switching Power Supply

The switching power supply supplies +15 VDC at 4 A to the PMT

 

cooler control on the Sensor Module. The output is made available

 

through J10 on the Switch Board. There is a load resistor on the

 

Switch Board to keep the output stable when little current is required

 

from the supply.

 

 

Switch Board

The Switch Board has many different functions. It takes logic signals

 

from the V/F board and uses them to switch 4-115 VAC and 4-12VDC

 

loads. The board also contains the instrument central grounding tie

 

point. It routes unswitched AC and DC power as needed. Connector J2

 

programs the power transformers to take 115, 220, and 240 VAC

 

inputs

 

 

Power Transformers

There are potentially 2 input power transformers in the instrument. The

 

multi-tap transformer T1 is in every M200AU and supplies input

 

power for the Linear Power Supply board described above. A second

 

transformer T2 is added if 220 or 240 VAC input is required. Input

 

power selection is done via a programming connector P2 which

 

provides the proper connections for either foreign or domestic power.

 

 

Circuit Breaker/Power

The front panel contains a combination circuit breaker - input power

Switch

switch. It is connected to the PSM through J6 on the Switch Board. If

 

an overload is detected the switch goes to the OFF position. Switching

 

the power back on resets the breaker also.
