Notes:
Electrical Characteristics
1. DC OK minus 2 to 6% of nominal output voltage
(tracking).
2. Inhibit & Enable are both TTL compatible.
ISOLATED requires 2 mA source, typical.
3. DC OK/Converter Run denotes output voltage
is present and converters are running
(Or'ed signal configuration).
4. PFC LED: Red = Bulk DC bus voltage low;
Green = Bulk DC OK.
5. Output LED: Red = Indicated output not
operating within tolerance;
Green = Indicated output operating within
tolerance.
6. The 5 x 5 x 11 (VS1/6) case is power limited to
1500W max. See operating curve.
7. The 5 x 8 x 11 case and 5 x 11 x 11 case (VS3/4)
are power limited to 2000W max. The VS8/9
cases are power limited to 2500W max.
