- SY4527/SY5527 Primary Power Supply Unit
- Provides:
- SERVICE Power Supply
- 600 W Power Supply for boards
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is also available in three versions: Primary, Optional Single, Optional Double.
The Primary PSU (A4531) is the standard SY527 power supply clock. It includes the SERVICE and 600W PSU within a single slot module. Each SY4527/SY5527 includes one A4531 Primary Power Supply.
Note that the PSU will be providing power to the boards installed into the mainframe as well as to the motherboard control electronics (CPU). When configuring the SYx527 power output customers should take this factor into consideration. For some applications, especially those which include Low Voltage/High Amperage boards, the power requirement must be carefully considered to avoid failures and maximum component life expectancy. For configuration questions or concerns we recommend that you contact your CAEN representative and/or technical support. The Optional Single PSU provides an additional 600W of power in a single slot module.
The Optional Double PSU provides an additional 1200W of power in a single slot module.

Note: In SY4527 the max number of PSU which can be installed is 4 (1 Primary and 3 Optional). In case the SY4527 is equipped with LCD display the max number is 2 (1 Primary and 1 Optional). In SY5527 the max number of PSU which can be installed is 2 (1 Primary and 1 Optional).
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is available in three versions: Primary, Optional Single and Optional Double.
Modularity, Compatibility, Connectivity, Usability and Solidity are the keywords of the system design. The Mainframes have been specifically designed to power all detector technologies found in modern Physics Experiments, such as photomultipliers, wire chambers, streamers tubes, silicon detectors and others.
The systems are modular, flexible and match not only the requirements of major experiments with large number of channels but also the practical needs of test laboratories, where simple manual operations on a limited number of channels are often desired.

A complete set of Software Tools is available (free download) to control CAEN Universal Multichannel Power Supply Systems, from low level libraries to graphical application software:

HiVoCS is a Web Interface available on any SY4527-SY5527 CPU. This Interface can be accessed directly via browser without installing any additional software. |
| Mainframes CPUs integrates an EPICS Input / Output Controller (IOC) that provides access to the Process Variables using the Channel Access Protocol. | |
CAEN HV Wrapper Library |
It is a set of ANSI C functions bundled in a library, providing the software developer an unified software interface for the control of all the CAEN Power Supply products |
