  • Long life enclosure fan; MTBF of 24.5 years!

  • Output power of up to 400W

  • Real-time voltage and current displayed on power supply diagnostics screen

  • Cool room air enters through front vents, exits into rack

  • Comms — EI-Bisynch and Modbus RTU over serial (RS-422) and MODBUS TCP

  • Universal voltage input (100-240VAC)

Innovative Interlock Features For Improved Reliability

Interlock 1 failure initiates a controlled ramp down

EpiTech's smart interlock control for interlock 1 allows for the MBE grower to have interlock protection for the heated viewport, while also ensuring the viewport temperature does not change so quickly that it jeopardizes the structural integrity of the viewport.

interlock 2 failure initiates a ramp to preset low

The purpose of interlock 2 is to allow the MBE grower to water cool the port containing the heated viewport and interlock that water cooling. If the water flow interlock detects a cooling failure, the SmartHeated Viewport Power Supply will automatically ramp down to preset low, which can be programmed for a power level that is safe for operation without water cooling.
