Operating the HM8001-2

General Information

Apart from the plug-in modules of the HM8000
Modular System, self-designed modules can also
be operated using the blank HM800. However, the
maximum power and voltage levels must not be
exceeded.
Attention!
When operating self-designed mo-
dules, the power consumption per
module must not exceed 25 Watts.
Each module compartment of the mainframe
HM8001-2 contains a 22 pole multipoint connector,
by means of which the inserted module is connec-
ted to the corresponding operating voltages. Apart
from the fi­xed 5 V all other DC voltages can be
DC
programmed from the module using resistors and
wire connectors.
The operating voltages of the modules are inde-
pendent from each other and adjacent modules
do not influence each others functions. Therefore,
no modifi­cations are necessary to the mainframe
for the supply voltage of each individual module.
Refer to the programming instructions for further
details.

Maximum Power supplied

The maximum total power output of each mainfra-
me is 36 Watts. Loads which draw excessive power
will activate the transformer's safety shut-down
protection until removed. The 8000 series modu-
les use less than 11 Watts of power each under
1
Subject to change without notice
normal circumstances, with the exception of the
Power Supply HM8040-3, which requires 25 Watts
and should not be used in conjunction with another
HM8040-3 module under full load.

Programming

Except for the fi­xed +5 V, all other regulated DC
voltages available in the mainframe HM8001-2 can
be programmed on the modules PCB connector by
means of a resistor and wire connector. These are
already incorporated into all complete modules.
The reference voltages, precisely calibrated
during manufacture, ensure a high recurrence
accuracy of the output DC voltages if a low tole-
rance re-sistor is used for programming. Without
the resistor each output (contacts 8 – 7 or 15 – 14)
supplies +5.2 V , provided that a wire connector
DC
has been mounted on the modules PCB connector
(contacts 13 – 11 or 20 – 18).
Higher voltages can be programmed according to
the following table:
