Power Supplies Engage Remote Programmability

Featuring remote-programmable control by external voltage and resistance, the RPGM series power supplies are said to be designed to run more efficiently and cooler than the company's previous products and are suited for production testing, bench operation and similar applications demanding remote control. Operating independently or in master/slave modes with series or parallel configurations, the supplies also provide external sensing for regulation. Users may also remotely set constant voltage/current modes in addition to on/off settings. Other features include isolated inputs and outputs, an accuracy of ±0.2%, three-digit LED displays, and rear panel manual operation for special voltage needs. Three models are available: the 3003R with 0 to ±30V, and 0 to 3A outputs priced at $432; the model 6030R with 0 to ±60V and 0 to 3A outputs priced at $495; and the model 3060R with 0 to ±30V and 0 to 6A outputs is at $487.
