1. General description
1.1 Overview
The Mod. SY8000 is a high density floating low voltage power supply system, designed
to power low noise electronics with medium and high currents. Six modules have been
developed so far:
• 2÷7V 550W (typ. 110A @ 5V)
• 2÷7V 1100W (typ. 220A @ 5V)
• ±7÷16V 550W (typ. 23A @ ±12V)
• ±7÷16V 1100W (typ. 46A @ ±12V)
• ±20÷28V 550W (typ. 11A@ ±24V)
• ±20÷28V 1100W (typ. 22A@ ±24V)
The system is factory-configured.
The system is provided with Remote Sensing Lines to compensate for the voltage drop
over the connection cables.
Safety features include:
• OVERVOLTAGE and UNDERVOLTAGE protection when the output voltage differs
from the programmed value
• Programmable maximum channel output voltage limit (VOVP): the channel is tripped off
when its output voltage exceeds VOVP
• OVERCURRENT detection: if a channel tries to draw a current larger than its
programmed limit, it is switched off.
• Channels can be enabled or disabled through the Interlock logic. The LV output RAMP-
UP and RAMP-DOWN times may be selected independently for each channel in 5ms
steps.
Module control can take place either locally, assisted by a Graphic color display or
remotely, via Ethernet, USB, CANBUS and RS232.

1.2 Safety information and installation requirements

1.2.1 General safety information

This section contains the fundamental safety rules for the installation and operation of the
boards. Read thoroughly this section before starting any procedure of installation or
operation of the product.
1.2.1.1 Safety Terms and Symbols on the Product
These terms may appear on the product:
• DANGER indicates an injury hazard immediately accessible as you read the
marking.
• WARNING indicates an injury hazard not immediately accessible as you read the
marking.
• CAUTION indicates a hazard to property including the product.

1.2.2 Injury Precautions

Review the following precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or
any products connected to it. To avoid potential hazards, use the product only as
specified. Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures.
1.2.2.1 Caution
The following safety precaution must be observed during all phases of operation, service
and repair of this equipment. Failure to comply with the safety precautions or warnings in

User's Manual (MUT) Mod. SY8800 Universal Multichannel LV Power Supply System 12/01/2010 2

this document violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this
equipment and may impair the built-in protections within.
CAEN shall not be liable for user’s failure to comply with these requirements.
To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, do not apply a voltage to a load that is outside the
range specified for that load.
To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed.
Do Not Operate Without Covers.
To avoid electric shock or fire hazard, do not operate this product with covers or panels
removed.
Do Not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions.
To avoid electric shock, do not operate this product in wet or damp conditions.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere.
To avoid injury or fire hazard, do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.
Do Not Operate With Suspected Failures.
If you suspect there is damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified service
personnel.

WARNING: DO NOT TOP LOAD

1.2.3 Grounding
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument. To minimize shock hazard, the instrument
chassis must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument must be connected to
the AC power supply mains through a three conductor power cable, with the ground wire
firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet.
For instruments designed to be hard-wired to the supply mains, the protective earth
terminal must be connected to the safety electrical ground before another connection is
made. Any interruption of the protective ground conductor or disconnection of the
protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that might cause personal
injury.

1.2.4 Input ratings

Do not use AC supply, which exceeds the input voltage and frequency rating of this
instrument. For input voltage and frequency rating of the module see § 2.1. For safety
reasons, the mains supply voltage fluctuations should not exceed above voltage range.

1.2.5 Output connectors

Output connectors deliver high energy; be careful to not short them, when cable
connectors are not plugged, otherwise big sparks will occur.

1.2.6 Live circuits

Operating personnel must not remove the instrument cover. No internal adjustment or
component replacement is allowed by non-CAEN personnel. Never replace components
with power cable connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge
circuits and remove external voltage source before touching components (wait 15 min at
least).

1.2.7 Parts substitutions and modifications

Always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove external voltage source prior to
fuse replacement (wait 15 min at least). Other parts substitutions and modifications are
allowed by authorized CAEN service personnel only.

1.3 Installation
This Chapter contains instructions for initial inspection, preparation for use and
repackaging for shipment.

1.3.1 Preparation for use

In order to be operational the unit must be connected to an appropriate AC source. The
AC source voltage should be within the unit specification.

1.3.2 Initial inspection

Prior to shipment this unit was inspected and found free of mechanical or electrical
defects.
Upon unpacking of the unit, inspect for any damage, which may have occurred in transit.
The inspection should confirm that there is no exterior damage to the unit such as broken
knobs or connectors and that the front panel and meters face are not scratched or
cracked. Keep all packing material until the inspection has been completed. If damage is
detected, file a claim with carrier immediately and notify CAEN service.

1.3.3 Rack mounting

The Mod. SY8800 is an equipment for BUILDING-IN: it must be ventilated and installed
in a 19” equipment rack. Use the front panel rack-mount brackets to install the unit in the
rack.

The Unit is powered by 92 ÷264 Vac, 50÷60 Hz, power factor 0.98% (230VAC); see § 2.1

2.3.7 Voltage sensing

Mechanical specifications: PA258 S – 5 Rising clamp terminal blocks

Function: All output channels have a Remote Sensing Line to compensate for the voltage
drop over the cable. Voltage is monitored directly at the load by an high input impedance
differential amplifier through the sense wires; the voltage sensing circuit is schematically
illustrated in the figure below.
OUT + R cable

SENSE + L
VMON
O
A
SENSE - D

OUT- R cable

Fig. 2.10: Remote voltage sensing scheme

When the sense wires are connected to the load, the Vset value equals the voltage on
the load; if the sense wires are not connected (to the load), Vset will equal the voltage on
the connector. If sense lines are not used, then it is necessary to short circuit OUT+ with
SENSE+ and OUT- with SENSE-.
Channels tested with cables that permit a 20% maximum drop (of Vset); load changed
impulsively and recovery time measured; test results:
Output (Vset) Rcable Load change Recovery time (within ±1%)
+5V 5 mohm 27 ÷ 82 A 10 ms

3.2 SY8800 operation via Terminal

SY8800 operation via Terminal is intended as the interactive control and monitoring of
one or more SY8800 systems by using a remote terminal. The remote operation via
Terminal can be performed in different ways, according to the interface used to
communicate with the system. Nominally, it can be achieved by:
• Using the RS232 interface to connect one Mod. SY8800 system to a VT100-like
terminal or to a standard PC running a terminal emulator program;
• Using the USB interface to connect one Mod. SY8800 system to a standard PC
(the USB is managed as RS232 as described in § 3.2.4)
• Using the TCP/IP protocol via Ethernet to perform a Telnet connection.

3.2.2 Firmware Update menus

This option is available only with Ethernet connection.
These menus allows to upgrade the firmware of the Mod. SY8800 control boards.
The files can be retrieved from a computer connected to the crate via TCP/IP protocol by
using a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) Server Software1.
In order to add a file in the system flash memory via TFTP, follow this procedure:

- check if the system is connected via TCP/IP protocol to a computer able to run a
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) Server Software and configured properly;
- run the TFTP Server Software and select the directory containing the file you
want to add;

1
The TFTP Server is usually available on Unix workstations. In case of PCs with Windows
XP/2000, there are various shareware programs available on Internet, e.g. the program Pumpkin by
the KLEVER GROUP INC. (www.klever.net).
