RBD Instruments recommends that you measure and also document the voltages on your card rack power supplies (located on the back right-hand electronic bay on most PHI systems) at least once per year. By monitoring these voltages you can notice trends that can indicate a problem with the card rack power supplies before those problems become evident by system performance issues. And, if you are having a high level problem with your system (such as no data), measuring the card rack power supplies is one of the first troubleshooting steps that you will need to perform.<\/p>\n

The two power supplies on the card rack door in the back of the electronics rack are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pioneer Magnetics power supply (also referred to in PHI documentation as the OEM Power supply)<\/li>\n
  2. Specialty power supply that provides +\/- 240 V DC, +\/- 18 V DC and -5.2 V DC voltages<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Pioneer Magnetics supply outputs are shown below.<\/p>\n

    RBD Instruments provides repair<\/a> and exchange services for both the Pioneer Magnetics OEM power supply and the PHI specialty supply.<\/p>\n

    Have a qualified electronics technician measure and record the voltages at the points shown in the table below. Save this information with your system maintenance records as part of your Physical Electronics X-ray photoelectron or Auger electron spectrometer preventative maintenance program.<\/p>\n
