Arc Lamp Power Supplies
Xenon & Mercury Short-Arc Lamp Power Supplies
The XLB series Xenon lamp ballasts are designed for the OEM customer. The XLB series is ideal for high power applications where economy is important and performance cannot be compromised.
Compact size is possible due to the low-loss Zero Volt- age Switching inverter and incorporation of planar mag- netics. Power factor is greater than 0.99 and conducted emissions meet stringent European regulations. No ad- ditional line filter is required to meet EN 55011 emission requirements.
The XLB Lamp Ballasts set the standard for reliable lamp ignition and long term high power operation in a low cost, compact package. All 5 models offer precision regulation and the lowest ripple specifications in the in- dustry.

Description
1
Lamp On/Off (input) (Note: 1)
High = RUN = +5V to +15V Low = OFF = 0V
The Lamp On/Off function is the control func- tion which turns the lamp on and off. When the lamp is turned on, a trigger and boost sequence will ignite the lamp and deliver current as pro- grammed via Iprogram, Pin 7.
3
Interlock (Input)
Open = OFF
Connect to GND = RUN
The Interlock function can be connected to ex- ternal interlock switches such as door or over-temp switches.

Vout Monitor (out- put)
0-10V = 0-Voutmax
The output voltage of the supply can be moni-tored by Vout Monitor. Note: See selection chart on page 2 for maximum output voltage setting per model.
6
Iout Monitor (output)
0-10V = 0-Ioutmax
The output current of the supply can be moni- tored by Iout Monitor.
7
Iprogram (input)
0-10V = 0-Ioutmax
The power supply output current is set by apply- ing a 0-10V analog signal to Iprogram(+).

Lamp Status
High = lamp off = 15V Low = lamp on = 0V
The status of the lamp can be monitored using this pin
