1.2 Model Series I and Series II
There are several generations of the i/iX/iM Series product, Series I and Series II. This user
manual covers model Series II with top-level assembly part numbers: .
Top Assy. No USB Top Assy incl. USB Model
7000-482-1 7000-485-1 3001iX
7000-482-4 7000-485-4 3001i / 3001iM
7000-474-1 7000-486-1 5001iX, 208 VAC INPUT
7000-474-2 7000-486-2 5001iX, 400 - 480 VAC INPUT
7000-474-3 7000-486-3 5001i / 5001iM, 208 VAC INPUT
7000-474-4 7000-486-4 5001i / 5001iM, 400-480 VAC INPUT
The difference between the Series i and the Series II is the controller used. The Series II uses a
more advanced controller but retains functional backward compatibility with the Series I
products. Series II models have a “Series II” designation shown in the lower right hand corner of
the front panel for easy identification. The actual top assembly part number is shown on the
model / serial number tag on the back of the i/iX/iM series.
All Series II will have a firmware revision of 4.0 or higher. The firmware revision is displayed
briefly at power up on the LCD display and can also be queried over the bus by using the *IDN?
command.
Differences between the two model series are:
•
Dual voltage range pairs of 135/270 and 150/300 on Series I has been replaced by
single 150/300 voltage range pair and constant power mode of operation.
•
In DC mode, the voltage ranges have been increased to 200Vdc and 400Vdc.
•
Auto level control (ALC) mode has been added to Series II models to obtain improved
voltage accuracy and load regulation.
•
The maximum frequency has been extended to 1000 Hz although the output voltage
derates from 300 Vrms at 500 Hz to 150 Vrms at 1000 Hz.
•
Reduced number of calibration coefficients on Series II.
•
Increased measurement sampling rate on Series II.
•
Maximum DC offset range in AC+DC mode is 250Vdc on Series I, 220Vdc on Series II
•
Clock and Lock operation is not supported between Series I and Series II controllers.
Thus, for the –LKM and –LKS options, both power sources must have the same
controller type.
Differences between the 7000-482/-474 and 7000-485/-486 model series are:
•
7000-482/-474 models include GPIB, RS232
•
7000-485/-486 models include GPIB, RS232 and USB with optional available Ethernet
(LAN) interface.
