SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This manual contains instructions for the installation and operation of the MBT series of 360
Watt (half rack), voltage and current stabilized d-c power supplies manufactured by Kepco, Inc.,
Flushing, New York, U.S.A.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Kepco MBT Power Supply Series (Figure 1-1) consists of eight single-output models as
listed in Table 1-1. All models can be delivered with the following options, indicated as a suffix to
the Model Number (see PAR. 1.5):
M- basic unit
MG- with single board computer
MR- with output/polarity reversal relays
MGR- with single board computer and output/polarity reversal relays
MBT Series Power Supplies are of a stand-alone, bench top design whose half-rack cross section
permits mounting in a standard Kepco rack adapter (see Table 1-4). MBT Series Power Supplies
can be operated with 115V/230V (switch selectable) nominal a-c input power sources (47 - 63Hz).
MBT Series Power Supplies employ linear stabilization for accuracy and resolution. MBT Power
Supplies are full-range, automatic-crossover voltage/current stabilizers with a full rectangular out-
put characteristic. The MBT is controlled digitally with 12 bits of resolution over the entire voltage/
current range. Voltage and current are displayed on an alphanumeric LCD display. The operational
status of the unit is displayed by five front panel LED's: VOLTAGE MODE, CURRENT MODE,
REVERSED POLARITY, REMOTE, and OUTPUT ENABLED. Control of the MBT can either be
local (via the from panel controls and keypad) or remote (via the IEEE 1118 communication bus, or
for option MG and MGR units, via the RS232C and IEEE 488.2 communication buses).
1.3 SPECIFICATIONS
Table 1-1 below indicates parameters that vary for different MBT models; Table 1-2 lists general
