1. Introduction
This instruction manual (P/N 7004-981) contains programming informationfor the Lx Series II and
Ls Series II AC power sources. The Series II versions of the Lx and Ls Series are backward
compatible with the Series I models. The Programming Manual for Series I models is CI P/N
7004-961 and is available for download a
Series II models are different from the original Lx/Ls Series in the following areas:
Standard USB interface has been added.
Available 100Mbit Ethernet LAN interface has been added. (Option
–LAN).
The front panel graphic design has been enhanced for a more pleasing look.
The Output D and E terminal block is no longer installed on the standard Lx and Ls units
unless the auxiliary output option
–AX is installed. This makes the standard output
terminal block more easily accessible.
No other functional differences exist between the Series I and Series II AC power sources. The
RS232C interface is still available in addition to the USB interface.
The expression "AC source" as used in the manual also applies to the same series. You will find
