User Manual California Instruments
i Series II / iX Series II / iM Series II 13
1. Introduction
This instruction manual contains information on the installation, operation, calibration and
maintenance of all power systems that use the 3001i, 5001i, 3001iX, and 5001iX power sources
with the second generation (Series II) programmable controller (P/N 7003-718).
This user manual also covers higher power configurations consisting of multiple units operated
in parallel. Such models are 10001iX, 10002iX, 15003iX and 30003iX.
This manual also covers the manual operation mode only iM models. The iM models are similar
to the i Models except they can only be operated from the front panel and lack measurement
functions and transient capabilities. The iM Series II replaces the original iM Series with analog
oscillator which is no longer available.
1.1 General Description
The 3001i, 5001i, 3001iX, and 5001iX are high efficiency, lightweight AC power sources that
provide a precise output with low distortion. The i/iX Series offers a 0-150/0-300 AC voltage
range and a 200/400 V DC range. Full power is available from 135/270V to full-scale voltage
using a constant power mode of operation.
Two or three 5001i/iX units can be connected in parallel as a single-phase system for 10 kVA or
15 kVA respectively.
Three or six units can be connected as a three-phase system. They can be operated with AC or
DC output.
The iX Series also offers AC+DC output mode.
The iM Series is a subset of the i Series and lacks load measurement functions and transient
programming. For operating information on the iM Series models, refer to the equivalent i Series
models in this user manual.
USB and LAN Interfaces
Models shipped after July 2007 (Top assembly P/N 7000-485 and P/N 7000-486) are equipped
with GPIB, RS232 and USB interfaces. Older models did not have the USB interface. These
newer models also support a LAN (Ethernet) interface option.
