TTi PL-P Series Bench/System Linear Regulated DC Power Supply with Smart Analog Controls
The New PL Series from TTi builds on the success of its predecessor by combining true analogue controls with digital stability for precise, user-friendly operation. Featuring ultra-low noise linear regulation, innovative S-Lock for secure settings, V-Span for custom voltage ranges, and a compact design with high power efficiency, the New PL Series is ideal for modern laboratories. Additional features include high-accuracy meters, fan-assisted cooling, and comprehensive remote control options in the PL-P variant, ensuring reliable performance and flexibility for diverse applications.
TTi, a leader in laboratory power supply design for over thirty years, has seamlessly blended analog controls with digital stability in the New PL Series. While many instruments have transitioned to digital controls, customer research indicates a strong preference for the speed and simplicity of analog controls in bench power supplies. The New PL Series honours this preference by maintaining true analog controls for voltage and current settings. However, to address stability and security concerns, the series introduces the innovative S-Lock feature. With a simple press of the Lock button, control is transferred from the analog controls to internal digital circuitry, ensuring complete security and exceptional stability.
The New PL Series employs linear regulation to deliver ultra-low noise and superior transient response. With an impressive rms noise figure of 0.4mV, it surpasses typical linear regulated power supplies. The series also introduces the V-Span function, allowing users to define specific voltage ranges, providing high-resolution analog control tailored to their needs. This feature prevents over-voltage damage and ensures circuits do not reset unintentionally.
Designed with modern laboratories in mind, the New PL Series boasts an ultra-compact design, offering up to 90 watts from a ¼ rack 3U casing. This compact footprint saves valuable bench space and allows for efficient rack mounting. Advanced phase-controlled pre-regulation enhances energy efficiency, and fan-assisted convection cooling ensures minimal noise, making it ideal for environments requiring quiet operation.
The New PL Series also features high-accuracy four-digit meters, low current range settings, and meter averaging to reduce jitter from varying load currents. A DC output switch allows settings to be verified before connecting the load, and voltage sensing can be switched between local and remote effortlessly. Safety binding-post terminals accommodate various connectors, ensuring flexibility and compliance with modern safety standards.
For more complex requirements, the PL303QMD model offers dual outputs with four modes of operation: Independent, Isolated Tracking, Isolated Ratio Tracking, and True Parallel. This versatility allows users to create two rails of either polarity and reference them to different grounds if necessary.
The New PL-P Series extends the capabilities of the New PL Series by adding comprehensive remote control facilities, including RS-232, USB, and LAN interfaces with LXI support. These features make it suitable for both bench and system use, with rear power terminals and additional GPIB interface options for enhanced connectivity.
The PL Series combines the best of analog and digital technologies to deliver a high-performance, reliable, and user-friendly power supply solution for laboratory professionals. Its innovative features, compact design, and advanced functionality ensure it meets the evolving needs of modern laboratories while maintaining the simplicity and ease-of-use that users value.
