1.1 General
The APS-1102 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 Vrms (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.
The APS-1102 can be controlled remotely from an external computer via a USB interface. The
accompanying software supports use of the following functions.
Panel operations
Sequence editing and execution
Arbitrary waveform editing and transfer
Data logger (by capturing measured values)
Worldwide power supply input is supported. Input power factor control function minimizes power supply
input current.
1.2 Features
Control panel with large LCD screen
Settings and measured values are displayed on a large, easy-to-read backlit screen.
Various output modes
Output modes include two operation modes: alternate current (AC) and direct current (AC+DC), each
of which can be combined with four signal source modes: internal (INT), external (EXT), internal +
external (ADD), and external synchronization (SYNC) for a total of eight modes. In the AC mode, DC
component is removed.
Various measurement functions
The APS-1102 is equipped with the following measurement functions.
Voltage (RMS value, average DC value, peak value)
Current (RMS value, average DC value, peak value, peak hold)
Power (effective, reactive, apparent)
Frequency (only in the external synchronization mode)
Load power factor
Load crest factor
Harmonic current (up to 40th harmonic, 50/60 Hz fundamental only)
