APS-1102A User Manual 1.1 General The APS-1102A programmable AC/DC power source is a power source that can output AC and DC power, features a compact design for convenient desktop use, and provides a wealth of measurement functions. Rated output voltage is 100 Varmus (100 V range) or 200 Vrms (200 V range), with maximum output capacity of 1 kVA (during AC 200 V input). It also features eight output modes, with DC output, external input amplification, and line-synchronized output.
1 OVERVIEW Harmonic current (up to 40th harmonic, 50 Hz/60 Hz fundamental only) Note: This measurement does not conform to the IEC or other standard. Enables AC-superimposed DC output When in the AC+DC mode, an AC wave (sine wave, square wave, or arbitrary waveform) can be superimposed on the DC output. Also supports capacitor input load (up to crest factor 4 is supported) Enables peak current output of up to four times as large as the maximum current (RMS value).

APS-1102A User Manual 4.4 Using the Sequence Function 4.4.1 Sequence operations When the sequence function of the APS-1102A is used, the pattern to be output can be freely programmed. For example, if a series of voltage change patterns that will be used in voltage variation tests for car electronics are programmed in advance, the output will change according to the sequence, so the test can be completed in one series of operations.
4 ADVANCED OPERATION EXAMPLE a) Sequence A sequence is comprised of a combination of at least two steps (the minimum unit is one step). b) Step Step execution parameters and step transition parameters are specified for each step. When sequence execution is not performed (i.e., during normal output mode), these parameters are specified in the same way. Thereafter, the normal output mode is called normal output step. In the descriptions below, the step parameters are enclosed in brackets ([ ]).
APS-1102A User Manual The step transition parameters specify the next step and its timing. Table4-5. Step Transition Parameters [Step time] [Step end phase] [Step end] [Jump step] [Jump times] [Branch step] Specified in time Sets step end phase as enabled or disabled. The following parameters are provided to specify the action at the end of the step.

APS-1102A User Manual d) Sequence control The following describes how sequence operations are controlled. Sequence control operations are indicated in triangular brackets (< >). Table4-7. Sequence Control Sets Run mode. When changing from Idle mode, the operation goes to step 1 when is set, and the sequence is started. When changing from Hold mode, the sequence is resumed from where it was stopped when was set.
4 ADVANCED OPERATION EXAMPLE e) Sequence loop Either an entire sequence or a block of any number of steps within a sequence can be used as a sequence loop. The loop is implemented based on the [jump step] and [jump times] parameters specified for each step. The jump counter, which counts the number of jumps, functions within each step to retain a count, so multiple loops can be implemented. Figure 4-9 below illustrates the loop specification method and the step transitions.
APS-1102A User Manual f) Step synchronized output The code that is specified in the step being executed is output to the external control I/O connector. However, “L” is output during a normal output step. Step synchronized output H L [Step synchronized output] Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 L H L L H Time Figure 4-10.

8 MAINTENANCE b) When fan filters are dirty A front panel is provided with air filters for removing dust or dirt from the intake air. When too much dirt accumulates in the filters, it can clog them and reduce air flow, causing higher internal temperatures which can reduce reliability. Periodically check the condition of the air filters. The air filters should be cleaned about once a month, or whenever fine dust has accumulated in the filter. To clear the air filters, rinse (with water, etc.
