1. Introduction
This instruction manual (P/N 6005-960) contains information on the installation, operation, calibration
and maintenance of the Compact /iX Series AC power sources, models 751i, 751iX, 1501i and 1501iX.
Series II versions are covered in this user manual.

1.1 General Description
The Compact i/iX Series of AC Power Source is a family of high efficiency, rack mountable, AC Power
Sources that provide a precisely controlled output voltage with low distortion and measurements.
Standard output voltage ranges are 150 Vac and 300 Vac RMS. The 751i/iX and 1501i/iX models
operate in single-phase mode and provide a maximum output power of 750VA (751i/iX models) or
1500VA (1501i/iX models). A unique constant power mode allows for higher output current at less than
full-scale voltage effectively increasing the usability for many applications where otherwise a higher
power level AC source may be needed.
For power levels above 1500 VA, two iX Series units can be combined using the system interface in a
parallel mode of operation. These multi chassis systems consist of one master unit with controller and
one auxiliary unit.
Read the installation instructions carefully before attempting to install and operate the Compact i/iX
Series power source.
For three phase power applications, refer to California Instruments models 2253i and 2253iX, user
manual P/N 6005-962 instead.
