4301 Series

The unit’s inputs and outputs are located on the cabinet’s front panel.

• Signal Input: A BNC connector accepts input from an arbitrary waveform generator.
• External Trigger Output: A BNC connector provides the signal to the Trigger In connector on the AWG.
• Current Monitor Output: A BNC connector provides scaled voltage output for current monitoring.
• Voltage Monitor Output: A BNC connector provides scaled voltage output for voltage monitoring.
• Signal Output: 250A Pin Plug connectors (or optional Anderson SB350 connectors) provide signal output to the equipment under test.
• AWG: A Siglent SDG2042X Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator is integrated into the 4301 system. The AWG comes pre-programmed with the required test waveforms and is mounted securely within the 4301 cabinet. A GPIB port located next to the AWG on the system front panel allows communication with the AWG through a user-supplied computer.

The unit’s indicators and controls are located on the 4301 amplifier modules. The 4301 models contain between one and four amplifier modules.

• LED Displays: Indicators for Run, Ready, Standby, and Stop status, and Fault conditions in the output stage.
• LCD Display: Can be user-configured for up to four simultaneous displays reporting one, two, or all four of the following: Voltage Peak, Voltage RMS, Current Peak and Current RMS. When the amplifier module is in a Fault condition, the LCD Display lists the type of fault condition and gives suggested corrective action.
• Navigation Buttons: The Navigation Buttons provide four arrow keys to allow navigation through the various LCD display options.
• Soft Touch Switches: Soft touch switches allow the selection of Run (Enable), Stop and Reset functions.
• Compensation Setting: A four-position rotary control allows the selection of optimum compensation settings according to the total current required at the system output.
• Compensation LEDs: When the amplifier module is receiving AC power, the colored LED associated with the selected Compensation setting will be lit.

Fault: The Fault LED on an amplifier module will light and the error message “Warning! Output Device Fault” will be displayed on the LCD screen if the module’s output stage stops operating. If this happens, contact AE TECHRON for servicing information.

AC Under/Over Voltage Protection: If the AC line voltage rises or drops more than 10% of the nominal operating voltage, the system will be forced to Standby and the error message “Warning! Overvoltage” will be displayed on the LCD screen of the amplifier module(s).

Over Current: Each amplifier module contains breaker protection on both the unit’s main power supply and the low-voltage supplies. The 4301 system provides a Main Power breaker switch and an Auxiliary Power breaker switch located inside the cabinet rear door.

Over Temperature: Each amplifier module contains separate output transistor, heat-sink and transformer temperature monitoring and protection circuits.

Cabinet: Welded steel cabinet with a textured black, powder-coat finish.

Main Power: A main power selector located on the system front panel controls the main power supply to the system.

Operating Temperature: 10°C to 50°C (50°F to 122°F), Maximum Output Power de-rated above 30°C (86°F).)

Humidity: 70% or less, non-condensing.

Cooling: The 4301 system amplifier modules employ forced air-cooling from front to back through removable filters via six 100 ft3/min. fans per unit. No space is required between rack-mounted modules. Provide room at the cabinet back to allow for proper airflow.
