1. Maximum output voltage is guaranteed to be ≤ 0.2% of the rated voltage at zero output setting, using the front panel or digital remote programming modes.

2. Maximum output current is guaranteed to be ≤ 0.4% of the rated current at zero output setting, using the front panel or digital remote programming modes, and when measured with rated load resistance.

3. Total output power is also based on AUX1 Output Voltage (5 V) and AUX1 Output Current (0.5 A) and AUX2 Output Voltage (15 V) and AUX2 Output Current (0.5 A).

4. From 85–132 Vac or 170–265 Vac, constant load.

5. From 85–132 Vac or 170–265 Vac, constant load.

6. From no load to full load, constant input voltage.

7. For load voltage change, equal to the unit voltage rating, constant input voltage.

8. For 6 V models the current ripple is measured at 2–6 V output voltage and full output current. For all other models, the current ripple is measured at 10–100% output voltage and full output current.

EMC Complies with EN61326-1 

Complies with EN55022, Class B, FCC Part 15B for conducted emissions 

Complies with EN55022, Class A, FCC Part 15A for radiated emissions 

Complies with EN61000-4 series of standards for immunity

9. When using remote sense, the total of the load voltage and the load line drops must not exceed the rated output of the power supply. For example, for an XG 6-110 in an application with 1 V of

load line loss (0.5 V/Line), the maximum available load voltage would be 6–1= 5 V. Note: The unit may operate at higher output voltages than this, but there is no guarantee that the power supply

will meet performance specifications. Ultimately, the upper limit of the output voltage will be determined by internal circuitry of the power supply (non-adjustable.)

10. With rated, resistive load.

11. At maximum output power.

12. Double insulation on primary to secondary isolation barriers. Basic insulation primary to protective earth ground.

Applies to all footnotes: Programming and Readback: RS-232, RS-485, USB built in. GPIB, Ethernet optional. Specifications are guaranteed from 1% to 100% of the rated output voltage, current, and power.

Aux Output 1 +5V: +0.4V, – 0.5V at 0.4A +15V: +1.2V, – 1.4V at 0.4A

1. Current: 0.51 A minimum guaranteed, 0.72 A typically available. Overcurrent protection (each output) is automatic, non-latching. When OCP is tripped the aux voltage folds back and will recover to nominal condition

when the over current condition is removed (typ. <0.2A). To protect external circuits attached to the aux outputs it is recommended that customers use an appropriately rated fuse in series with the aux outputs set point 10-100%

2. Time for the output voltage to recover within 0.5% at its rated output for a load change 10-90% of rated output current. Output set point 10-100%

3. For floating chassis ground applications, please contact application engineering for system design assistance.

4. Double insulation on primary to secondary isolation barriers. Basic insulation primary to protective earth ground.
