INTERFACE

The 10A and 15A series’ standard interface permits voltage control and monitoring of both voltage and current output
using analog DC signals whose range and polarity vary by model. The 10A model also offers UltraVolt’s optional -I5 or
–I10 interface which provides simplified control and monitoring of both voltage and current using 0 to 5 VDC or 0 to 10
VDC full-scale analog signals.

STANDARD OPTIONS

Both the 10A and 15A series can be configured with standard options that can adapt its performance and
packaging for many application requirements. Customized models to meet specialized performance, packaging,
or environmental needs are also available.

Featured Options

-I5 Upgrades interface to provide more precise control and monitoring of both HVout and Iout using 0 to 5 VDC (full-scale) analog
signals. Also adds Iout control and voltage/current mode indication capability not available on the standard interface. Cannot be
ordered with the -I10 option. Available only on 10A series models.

-I10 Upgrades interface to provide more precise control and monitoring of both HVout and Iout using 0 to 10 VDC (full-scale) analog
signals. Also adds Iout control and voltage/current mode indication capability not available on the standard interface. Cannot be
ordered with the -I5 option. Available only on 10A series models with 24 VDC input.

-F Reduces high voltage ripple when used together with the Mu-Metal shield and a user-supplied external capacitive load.
Available only with the the Mu-Metal shield (-M option).

-M Adds a Mu-Metal shield to reduce the effects of external RF noise sources. Installed on six sides, this shield option
is available on both standard plastic (DAP) and optional aluminum (-C option) cases.

-E Eared mounting flange that permits the standard plastic (DAP) case to be chassis-mounted.

-C Aluminum alloy case with integrated mounting flange that provides both added RF and environmental protection.

-AP Adds non-conductive braiding to the standard HVout flying lead for increased durability. Terminating connector is user-supplied.
Not available with the -WS option.

-WS Replaces the standard HVout flying lead with a 470 mm long shielded coaxial cable for added RF protection.
Terminating connector is user-supplied. Not available with the -AP option.

-25PPM Upgrades module temperature coefficient rating from 50 ppm/°C to 25 ppm/°C for enhanced high voltage output
stability over standard operating temperature ranges.
