Description
The Perseus range is a series of high voltage power supplies which are designed for industrial x-ray applications. They are highly stable and accurate, capable of being used for material analysis, security checking and many other applications.
The power supply controls, output voltage, output current, maximum filament current and HV on/off, are available on the front panel or by connection to a 25 way D connector on the rear panel.

Safety
- This power supply contains hazardous voltages and stored energy. Contact with the output may result in fatal injury. It should only be used and maintained by trained personnel.
- The area where the power supply is to be used should be kept clean and dry.
- Keep a safe distance from the output connector and any items connected to it.
- Ensure that a secure connection is made between the Earth side of the load and the Earth connection on the rear panel.
