Replacement compatibility

Replacement form factor and connections

EpiTech replacement power supplies use the same connections and form factor as the models they are designed to replace. This supports replacement of obsolete supplies within the existing equipment installation.

Identify the supply being replaced when requesting a configuration so the replacement can be matched to that model.

Interlocks & features

Viewport interlocks and power control

Interlock 1: controlled ramp-down

A vacuum interlock failure initiates a controlled reduction in output power to limit the rate of viewport cooling.

Interlock 2: ramp to preset low

Interlock the water cooling on the viewport's port. If flow fails, the supply ramps to a preset low you've chosen as safe without cooling.

Two presets

Configurable low and high presets are accessible from the home screen.

Failure prediction

Real-time voltage, current and filament resistance, logged over the network for failure prediction and analysis.
