“Versatile and user-friendly design”
series

Ultra Slim Sophisticated Bench-top DC Power Supply

RK-80 series is a high performance DC programmable power supply. 3-digit digital meter is added newly . Needless to
say, the innovative compact size, variable range feature and high operability are realized. RK-80 series is the suitable
DC power supply for a variety of applications from laboratory experiment to line productions.

80 W
Set voltage / current value within 80 W, then turn on output.
*Not automatic range change which can output 80 W all the time. Resetting is required.

Useful NEW 3 Additional Functions

NEW Output voltage and output current can be set speedily.
When setting output voltage and output current by rotary encoder on front panel,
every time fine switch is pressed, setting digit on digital display will be switched.
In case, setting small output value or change setting value widely, setting can be
done speedily. (Fine switch cannnot be used when output value is set by remotely.)

When output is OFF, the preset value can be displayed automatically by operating rotary encoder on the front panel.

Various protections such as over voltage / current protection (OVP, OCP) are equipped as standard functions.

Manufacturer warranty
We warrant the specification, unless otherwise specified, at max. rated output after warm up, and scope of application is between 10% and 100% of max. rated output. We warrant that products
contained in this catalog (hereinafter, the “Products”) are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment thereof. However,
the warranty period for X-ray detectors and X-ray source shall be either one (1) year from the date of shipment or 1,000 hours, whichever shorter. The above warranty shall not apply to any
Product which, at our sole judgment, has been: i) Repaired or altered by persons unauthorized by us; or ii) Connected, installed, adjusted or used otherwise than in accordance with the
instructions furnished by us (including being used in an inappropriate installation environment, such as in corrosive gas, high temperature and humidity). We are not liable for any loss, damage or
failure of the Products after the shipment thereof caused by external factors such as disasters. We will not inspect, adjust or repair any of our power supply products in the field or at any customer
site. If you suspect that there has been a power supply failure in the field, please inspect your whole unit by yourself in an effort to determine that the problem is, in fact, arising out of our power
supply products. If it is found that the problem is arising out of such power supply product after inspection, please contact your local sales office for additional troubleshooting. A “Return Merchan-
dise Authorization” is required in case the power supply must be sent back to the factory in Japan for inspection and repair. We, at our sole discretion repair or replace such defective products at
no cost to the purchaser. We assume no liability to the purchaser or any third party for special, incidental, consequential, or other damages resulting from a breach of the foregoing warranty. This
warranty excludes any and all other warranties not set forth herein, express or implied, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The
Products are not designed and produced for such applications as requiring extremely high reliability and safety, or involving human lives (such as nuclear power, aerospace, social infrastructure
facility, medical equipment, etc.). The use under such environment is not covered by this warranty and may require additional design and manufacturing processes. No modification or supplement
of this warranty shall be binding unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Matsusada. Matsusada reserves the right to make any changes in the contents of catalogs or specifica-
tions at any time without advance notice. Due to compelling reason such as unavailability of components used, products might be un available or unable to repair. The products specified in
catalogs or specifications are designed for use by the person who has enough expertise or under the control of such person, and not for general consumers. Schematics of products shall not be
submitted to users. Test result or test data for the products shall be available upon request with charge.
