SCOPE

1.0 SCOPE

This manual provides the information required to use the Universal Manual Controller (UMC) effectively. This manual is an Operations Manual. Installation, operation and calibration are the principal subjects of this manual.

1.1 USING THIS MANUAL

It is very important that the user reads section 4 prior to using this equipment. A thorough understanding of this section is required to operate this equipment properly. If questions arise while reading this manual, the user is encouraged to call the Pacific Power Source Inc. Pacific maintains a toll-free number which is 1-800-854-2433 (1-949-251-1800 outside the US), FAX 1-949-756-0756 Section 5 discusses calibration. This section needs to be read only when such activities are required to be performed.

1.2 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The UMC-31 Controller is a manually controlled, precision, three phase, sine-wave oscillator. It is capable of generating frequencies from 45 - 500 Hz, in single, two, or three phase mode. The user may select one of three fixed or the variable frequency range via internal jumpers. Fixed frequency settings are crystal-controlled to provide extremely stable operation.

Full parameter metering is provided by the UMC-31 Controller. Output volts (line-to-line and line-to-neutral), output current, and output frequency are measured by the metering circuits of the UMC-31 Controller. The meter is a 3½ digit LED type. Typical accuracy of the meter circuits is 0.5%.

Current compensation is also provided for use with transformer-coupled outputs. This feature allows the user to compensate for real losses due to distribution lines. Current compensation can be disabled at the user's discretion.

The UMC-31 Controller is one of several designed for use with the AMX-Series AC Power Source. It is completely interchangeable with all other AMX-Series controllers. The assembly number for the UMC is 133500. Figure 1 is a block diagram of the UMC.

4.0 OPERATION (cont.) 4.2 AUXILIARY INPUTS

Refer to Figure 4.3 for the pin-out of J5.

Three AUX Inputs are provided on J5, one per phase. J5 is located on the back panel of the Power Source. Input impedance of the AUX inputs is 600 ohms. The low side of these signals is tied directly to power supply common (equipment ground). The inputs are DC coupled and are algebraically summed to the oscillator outputs of the UMC-31. It should be noted that the AUX Inputs can be used as external inputs simply by setting the UMC-31 to 0 VAC output. The AUX Inputs have a voltage gain of 25 with respect to direct-coupled, power source output (5.00 VACAUX IN = 125 VACOUT). The gain of these inputs is scaled appropriately when transformer outputs are used.

Three AM (Amplitude Modulation) inputs are also provided on J5, one per phase. As stated above, J5 is located on the rear panel of the AMX Power Source chassis. The input impedance of the AM Inputs is also 600 ohms. The low side of these signals is tied directly to power supply common. A varying DC voltage is used to modulate the output. 0 to +5 VDC will cause a 0 to 100% increase in output voltage. 0 to -5 VDC will cause a 0 to 100% decrease in output voltage.

4.3 DIGITAL OUTPUTS

Refer to Figure 4.3 for the pin-out of J5.

Digital outputs on J5 are 0 to 5 VDC, positive logic. J5 is located on the rear panel of the Power Source. These signals are provided for the purpose of synchronizing test equipment to the output of the power source.

Logic outputs are provided for Sync Output of φA analog output, and the DRM pulse clock which is 100 times the output frequency.

4.4 ANALOG OUTPUTS

Refer to Figure 4.4 for the pin-out of J3. The sinewave outputs of the stand alone controller chassis are on J3.

4.5 POWER SOURCE CONTROL

The UMC sends the control signals to the Power Source on J3.

SECTION 5

CALIBRATION 5.0 CALIBRATION

This section provides the information required to calibrate the UMC-31. The controller must be calibrated in the sequence stated below. Improper calibration will result if the operations stated below are performed out of order.

5.1 CALIBRATE OUTPUT FREQUENCY

Configure for 50 Hz, fixed frequency operation. See section 3.1. Attach a frequency counter to the output of the Power Source and verify that the output frequency is 50 Hz ± 0.005 Hz.

Configure for 60 Hz, fixed frequency operation. Verify output frequency is 60 Hz ± 0.006 Hz.

Configure for 400 Hz, fixed frequency operation. Verify output frequency is 400 Hz ± 0.04 Hz.

Configure for variable frequency operation. Turn the Frequency Adjust control fully counterclockwise. Verify that the output frequency is less than 45 Hz. Turn the Frequency Adjust control fully clockwise. Verify that the output frequency is greater than 500 Hz.

If any of the above tests fail, return the unit for repair.

5.2 CALIBRATE FREQUENCY METER

Configure for 50 Hz, fixed frequency operation. See section 3.1. Rotate the Meter Select switch to the Frequency position. Adjust R130 (see Figure 5) until the meter indicates 50.0. Configure for 400 Hz, fixed frequency operation. Adjust R132 (see Figure 5) until the meter indicates 400.

If any of the above tests fail, return the unit for repair.

SECTION 5 CALIBRATION

17

5.0 CALIBRATION (cont.) 5.3 CALIBRATE VOLTMETER

NOTE: The Frequency Meter MUST be properly calibrated BEFORE the voltmeter calibration is performed. Any time the Frequency Meter is calibrated, the voltme-ter must also be re-calibrated.

Configure for 60 Hz, fixed frequency, 3φ, direct-coupled operation (see section 3.1). Rotate the Meter Select switch to the VOLTS A-N/1φ position. Connect a 4½ digit voltmeter, 0.25% accuracy or better, from the φA output to neutral of the Power Source. Adjust the volts adjust control so that the 4½ digit voltmeter indicates 120.00. Adjust R131 (see Figure 5) until the UMC-31 meter indicates 120.0.

5.4 CALIBRATE AMMETER

NOTE: The Frequency Meter MUST be properly calibrated BEFORE the ammeter calibration is performed. Any time the Frequency Meter is calibrated, the ammeter must also be re-calibrated.

In order to accommodate the wide range of current transformer (CT) ratios of the Pacific Power Source, Inc. product line, the CT ratio must be set in the UMC-31 to match the Power Source current ratio. This is done by four trim-pots within the controller, designated R136 through R139. These must be set, at the factory or in the field, to agree to the Power Source CT ratio.

Rotate the Meter Select switch to the AMPS A position. Connect a 4½ digit current meter, 0.25% accuracy or better, in series with the φA output of the Power Source. Apply a full-rated resistive load to φA. Adjust R136 (see Figure 5) until the UMC-31 meter indicates the same current as the 4½ digit current meter.

Rotate the Meter Select switch to the AMPS B position. Connect a 4½ digit current meter, 0.25% accuracy or better, in series with the φB output of the Power Source. Apply a full-rated resistive load to φB. Adjust R137 (see Figure 5) until the UMC-31 meter indicates the same current as the 4½ digit current meter.

Rotate the Meter Select switch to the AMPS C position. Connect a 4½ digit current meter, 0.25% accuracy or better, in series with the φC output of the Power Source. Apply a full-rated resistive load to φC. Adjust R138 (see Figure 5) until the UMC-31 meter indicates the same current as the 4½ digit current meter.

Configure the UMC-31 Controller for 1φ operation. Rotate the Meter Select switch to the AMPS 1φ/N position. Connect a 4½ digit current meter, 0.25% accuracy or better, in series with the 1φ output of the Power Source. Apply a full rated resistive load to the 1φ output. Adjust R139 (see Figure 5) until the UMC-31 meter indicates the same current as the 4½ digit current meter.


18

5.0 CALIBRATION (cont.) 5.5 CALIBRATE CURRENT COMPENSATION

Current compensation is used by the UMC-31 to compensate for real losses due to output transformers. Current compensation is active only when the system is configured for transformer-coupled output. This step in the procedure should be performed only when the system is supplied with output transformers.

NOTE: The Output Ammeter MUST be properly calibrated BEFORE calibration of

Current Compensation is performed. Any time the Ammeter is calibrated, Current Compensation must also be re-calibrated.

Configure for 60 Hz, 3φ, transformer-coupled operation. With no load attached, set φA output to desired voltage. Apply full-rated load to φA. Adjust R140 (see Figure 5) until the full load output voltage is the same as the no load output voltage.

With no load attached, set φB output to desired voltage. Apply full-rated load to φB. Adjust R141 (see Figure 5) until the full load output voltage is the same as the no load output voltage.

With no load attached, set φC output to desired voltage. Apply full-rated load to φC. Adjust R142 (see Figure 5) until the full load output voltage is the same as the no load output voltage.
