The DCS Series of 1 kW, 1.2 kW and 3 kW programmable power supplies provides a highly reliable power platform. It utilizes unique packaging techniques to achieve continuous full output power (1 kW, 1.2 kW or 3 kW) in any volt/amp combination within the rated output voltage and current limits in a low profile chassis.

This DCS power supply family has an easy-to-use front panel with 10-turn potentiometers to adjust voltage and current settings that are displayed simultaneously. LEDs indicate overtemperature, remote programming, shutdown and over voltage protection, status and constant-voltage/current mode operation. The DCS 3 kW Models have push button control of the output standby mode, OVP reset, remote/local programming and preview status of voltage, current and OVP setpoints.

The Sorensen DCS family can also be controlled remotely. Four analog control modes are standard as well as isolated analog control (option). Computer control can be accomplished over IEEE488.2 GPIB (option) or LXI-compliant Ethernet (option).

Features and Benefits:

From 0-8 VDC to 0-600 VDC; current levels from 1.7A to 350A

Easy Leader/Follower Paralleling with Active Current Sharing

5 Year Warranty

Remote Programming

Selectable remote programming for voltage, current and OVP
16 bit programming through LXI -compliant Ethernet LAN / RS-232C (M130)
12-bit programming through IEEE-488.2 / RS-232C (Option M9C)Isolated analog programming (Option M51)
Multichannel follower interface (Option M85 or M131)

Software

IVI-com driver for M130 option
Labwindows CVI driver for M9C option
Labview driver for M9C option

M130/131 Ethernet Option Manual 1.2kw

Options and Accessories
M1	Factory configured for 115 VAC input (1 kW and 1.2 kW units only)
M9C	Internal IEEE-488/RS-232 Interface (can only support 12-bit slaves)
M13	Locking shafts (front panel potentiometers)
M32	Master/slave paralleling cable configured for two units
M33	Replace input connector with terminal block (3 kW only)
M51A	Isolated analog programming control of V/I/OVP and isolated V/I monitor outputs up to 500V relative to the supply’s return line. This isolation allows users to control power supplies not connected to a common ground. In addition, in systems with high ambient noise or with large ground loop currents the control ground can be isolated from the power ground eliminating problems.
M85	12-bit slave interface option for use with M9 or M130 master (3 ft. control cable included)
M102	Front panel binding posts for 1 kW or 1.2 kW, Models ≤30A, ≤100V. Not compatible with M9C, M85, M130, M131, M133, M135, M136
M130	LXI ™compliant 10/100 Base T Ethernet remote control master interface; includes web server for direct control of power supply via web browser (MS Internet Explorer 6.0 or later)
M131	16-bit slave interface option for use with a M130 master (3 ft. control cable included)
M133	Output disconnect and polarity reversal relays controlled via SCPI commands. Limited to 1kW or 1.2 kW, ≤100V, ≤60A
M135	M130 & M133 combination. Limited to 1kW or 1.2 kW, ≤100V, ≤60A
M136	M131 & M133 combination. Limited to 1kW or 1.2 kW, ≤100V, ≤60A 105-300-26: Rack slide kit (3 kW only)
