AP-Series Portanims are attractive, compact, portable NIM OUTPUT ADJUSTMENT

DC Output voltages have a nominal adjustment range of:

±0.5%; settable to ±0.05%±2%; settable to ±0.1%

REGULATION

Better than ±0.1% for ±24 V and ±0.2% for ±6 V over line voltage variation of ±12%, no load to full load.

RIPPLE AND NOISE

Less than 3 mV peak-to-peak as observed on a 50 MHz bandwidth scope.

RECOVERY TIME AND STABILITY

Recovery: Less than 100 μs return with regulation limits for 10% to 100 % step-change in rated load.

Stability: After 1 hr. warmup ±0.5% for 6 months at constant load, line and ambient.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Fully protected against short

circuits or overloads by fold back circuitry.

compatible bins with self-contained power supplies. The Model AP-3 replaces both the Model AP-1 and AP-2H. The Model AP-3 can hold six singles or combinations of larger module sizes equivalent to six.

tanims are a e s the t ic a ll y d es i gn ed t o gi v e a fi ni shed a nd pleasing benchtop instrument appearance to plug-in modules. They can be used for BNC modular digital delay generators, trigger pulse amplifiers, pulse generators, programming interfaces and the NIM-style plug-in instruments of other manufacturers. The units provide significant savings in cost, space and weight over standard 12-w i d t h N I M b i n / p o w e r s u p p l i e s w h e n i n s t r u m e n t a t i o n s e t u p s consisting of only one or several modules are needed.

combinations of ±6 V, ±12 V and ±24 V are available in the Model AP-3. AC 117 V power for modules that may require it is also provided. The supplies conform to the specifications of AEC report TID-20893 (Rev. 3) except for maximum current ratings, since they hold fewer modules.

AP-Series Portanims can be handily carried about in the laboratory or field. Each model can be set down on its back or bottom. A foldout bale allows tilting up on the bench and the sturdy carrying handle swings out of the way when not in use. A covered compartment at the rear allows storage for line cord, signal cables, etc., and gives access to instruments rear panel controls.

future needs may involve installing unforeseen modules, getting the AP-3, with its full complement of six DC outputs, will assure accommodating any other NIM-type instruments.

painted blank panels are available to cover unused module cavities. The part numbers are: Single-width P/N 6823; Double-width P/N 6824; Triple-width P/N 6826. Empty modules in various sizes are available for OEMs or others who wish to design p l u g -i n i n s t r u m e n t s f o r P o r t a n i m s.
