Technical Specifications Electrical Specifications:

  • Input Voltage Range: AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz
  • Output Power: The LDC-1500 series offers various output wattage configurations, including models with 16W, 17.5W, 33W, and 34.5W total wattage. Specific configurations like LDC15F-1 and LDC15F-2 denote different wattage capabilities.
  • Output Voltages: Available output voltages include +5V, +12V, -12V, +15V, and -15V, depending on the specific model configuration.
  • Current Capacity: Peak load currents are supported for durations of 10 seconds or less, provided the total wattage remains within the rated limits. For models where the +5V load is 0A, other outputs can draw up to 80% of their rated current.
  • Line Regulation: * ±5V: 20mV max * ±12V: 48mV max * ±15V: 60mV max
  • Temperature Regulation: * ±5V: 50mV max * ±12V: 350mV max * ±15V: 420mV max
  • Ripple and Noise: * ±5V: 120mVp-p max (at 0 to +50°C) * ±12V, ±15V: 150mVp-p max (at 0 to +50°C) * ±5V: 150mVp-p max (at -10 to 0°C) * ±12V, ±15V: 160mVp-p max (at -10 to 0°C)
  • Efficiency: Approximately 72% typical at full load for certain configurations (e.g., LDC15F-1).
  • Startup Time: Maximum 200ms at AC 85V input and 100% load.
  • Leakage Current: 0.75mA max (at 60Hz, according to UL, CSA, VDE, and DEN-AN standards).
  • Insulation: * Input-FG: AC 2000V for 1 minute, cutoff current 10mA. DC 500V, 50MΩ min. * Output-FG: AC 500V for 1 minute, cutoff current 100mA. DC 500V, 50MΩ min. * Output-Output (V1-V2, V3): AC 100V for 1 minute, cutoff current 100mA. DC 100V, 10MΩ min. Environmental Specifications:
  • Operating Temperature: -10°C to +60°C (derating required for operation with chassis and cover).
  • Operating Humidity: 20% to 90% RH (non-condensing).
  • Operating Altitude: Up to 3,000m (10,000 feet).
  • Storage Temperature: -20°C to +75°C.
  • Storage Humidity: 20% to 90% RH (non-condensing).
  • Storage Altitude: Up to 9,000m (30,000 feet).
  • Vibration: 10-55Hz, 19.6m/s² (2G), 3-minute period, 60 minutes each along X, Y, and Z axes.
  • Impact: 196.1m/s² (20G), 11ms, once each along X, Y, and Z axes. Physical Specifications:
  • Case Size: 50 x 26 x 127mm (W x H x D) for some models.
  • Weight: 150g max (unit only), 300g max (with chassis and cover).
  • Cooling Method: Convection. Safety and Noise Regulations:
  • Agency Approvals: Complies with UL60950-1, EN60950-1, EN50178, CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, DEN-AN, and IEC60950-1.
  • Conducted Noise: Complies with FCC-B, CISPR22-B, EN55022-B, and VCCI-B standards. Ordering Information (Example for LDC15F): The ordering format typically follows a structure like LDC15F-1-O, where:
  • LDC indicates the series name.
  • The number (e.g., 15) denotes wattage.
  • F signifies the type (e.g., Open Frame).
  • The subsequent number (e.g., -1) indicates the output configuration.
  • An optional suffix (e.g., -O) can denote specific features like chassis, cover, or potentiometer. Common options include: * C: With coating * G: Low leakage current * S: With chassis * SN: With chassis & cover * Y: With Potentiometer

Compatibility The CASIX LDC-1500 can be compatible with a wide range of laser diodes requiring precise current and temperature control. Its universal input voltage range (AC 100-240V) ensures compatibility with standard power grids in the USA and other regions. Specific compatibility with particular laser diode models would depend on the current and voltage requirements of those diodes, which should be matched against the LDC-1500's output specifications.
