Product catalog summary
Overview: The CPX Series by AIM & Thurlby Thandar Instruments features high-performance PowerFlex DC power supplies with single and dual output options. These supplies offer autoranging outputs up to 60V and 20A, combining analog controls with digital functionality, including S-Lock, and support interfaces like GPIB, RS-232, USB, and LAN with LXI class C compliance.
Specifications: The CPX400D model provides dual 420W outputs (840W total) with various voltage and current combinations, such as 60V/7A and 20V/20A. It supports constant voltage or current operation, low noise, and good transient response, featuring high accuracy four-digit meters and safety binding post terminals.
Features: The PowerFlex design allows higher currents at lower voltages within a power limit envelope. Features include S-Lock for setting locks, isolated voltage tracking for series/parallel use, and independent output control. The series supports both PowerFlex and fixed-range operation with customizable voltage and current limits.
Control and Interfaces: The series retains analog controls for ease of use, with digital stability via S-Lock. Remote control is available through GPIB, RS-232, USB, and LAN interfaces, with LXI compliance. Variants like CPX400SA offer isolated analog remote control, while CPX400SP and CPX400DP provide digital remote control.
Design and Usability: The compact design minimizes space usage, with CPX400D & DP models fitting into a half-rack 3U case and CPX400S in a ¼ rack 3U case. Features include remote sensing, precision metering, and safety interlocks to prevent unexpected voltage changes.
Applications: Suitable for laboratory and system use, the CPX series offers flexibility in voltage and current settings, meeting the needs of engineers requiring reliable and versatile power supplies.
Output Connections: Universal 4mm safety binding posts are used for output terminals, compatible with various plug types. Remote sensing is selectable between local and remote via a front panel switch.
Meter Specifications: Each output features dual 4-digit LED meters with specific resolution and accuracy for voltage and current measurements.
Voltage Tracking: CPX400D & DP models offer independent and voltage tracking modes, allowing outputs to be wired in series or parallel for higher voltage or current requirements.
Control Features: Independent DC On/Off controls are available, with an additional button for simultaneous control of both outputs.
Remote Interfaces: CPX400SP & CPX400DP models support RS-232, USB, GPIB, and LAN interfaces, compliant with LXI class C, for full remote control and read-back.
Programming Performance: Detailed specifications for voltage and current setting resolution, accuracy, and programming speed are provided.
General Specifications: Includes AC input requirements, environmental conditions, safety compliance, and physical dimensions.
Driver Software: IVI and USB drivers are supplied for Windows, supporting applications like LabView and LabWindows.
Options: Rack mounts are available for different configurations, with accuracy specifications applying within a specific temperature range.
Model Range: Aim-TTi offers a variety of power supply series with different features and control options, including analog and digital interfaces.

View and adjust setting limits at any time. High accuracy four digit meters have a fixed resolution for consistent readings at-a-glance. Range Control gives a choice of PowerFlex (60V/20A) or fixed range operation (60V/7A or 20V/20A). True analog controls make adjustment quick and simple. Voltage sensing can be changed between local and remote at the flick of a switch. Safety binding post terminals can accept fixed-shroud 4mm plugs** as well as normal plugs, bare wires, and fork connectors. CPX400DP Dual 420 watt DC Power Supply PowerFlex'1 .
