(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 13, 2001 ) Wichita, Kan — IFR Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFRS) today announced availability of the Kikusui PAN-A 60 series, the latest in a family of popular power supplies. The PAN-A 60 products are replacements for the existing Kikusui PAN-A 55 models and offer the power necessary for test engineers who are responsible for research and development, quality control or production of 48-volt devices. The Kikusui PAN-A 60 series is a family of high performance, highly reliable DC power supplies, which are ideal for general-purpose use. Today, individuals responsible for research and development of new technologies require expanded functionality and safety features like those found in the PAN-A 60 series. Organizations involved in quality of service and production functions will benefit from the enhanced capabilities such as low ripple and noise, low temperature drift and quick transient response. "With the introduction of these products, we maintain our commitment to providing highly reliable, user-oriented benchtop test equipment that meets customers’ needs," said Tom Haygarth, Kikusui product manager, IFR. "Extreme time-to-market pressures make it necessary for organizations to incorporate appropriate equipment in today’s test labs. Using feature-rich test equipment, such as products within the PAN-A 60 series, enables companies to bring better products to market, faster."The PAN-A 60 series are high-performance, highly reliable DC power supply units that offer regulated variable voltage. Each model is designed to include over voltage protection (OVP) and other safety functions. If an over voltage is generated by operator error, or by accident, the OVP protects the connected load by immediately shutting down the power switch circuit protector.Additional features include low temperature drift of 100 ppm/°C (constant voltage) and 300 ppm/°C (constant current). The PAN-A 60 series offers users quick transient response allowing fast response to a sudden change of the load. The PAN-A 60 products are capable of systemization, including analog signal- or computer- (GPIB) based remote control, remote sensing and master-slave-control serial and parallel operations.The PAN-A 60 series are all 60-volt models replacing the 55-volt versions listed below: PAD 60-35L replaces the PAD 55-35L PAD 60-60L replaces the PAD 55-60L PAD 60-120L replaces the PAD 55-120L PAN 60-3A replaces the PAN 55-3A PAN 60-6A replaces the PAN 55-6A PAN 60-10A replaces the PAN 55-10A PAN 60-20A replaces the PAN 55-20A Price and AvailabilityThe PAD-A 60 products are available immediately upon receipt of order and priced from $4374 (US).
