Long-Life DC power supply
The SM800 series consists of power supplies with excellent lifetime and stability. Multiple power supplies can be connected in series, parallel, or both in series and parallel to create numerous output configurations. Optionally, the power sink option can be ordered with this power supply to be able to dissipate up to 140 W.
In standard, the SM800 can be controlled either via the front or an analog input at the rear of the power supply. Optionally, Ethernet, RS232 or isolated remote programming features can be factory installed. See the options for more information. Furthermore, external interface modules are available to add this functionality to existing units. See the SM800 data sheet for more information.
Bench top or rack mounted
This power supply is an excellent choice for laboratory work, R&D, and long-term industrial use. It is reliable, silent, and consistently delivers top performance. The clear display and intuitive knob controls ensure effortless operation. Whether you're optimizing workflows or pushing the boundaries of research, this unit is designed to support you.
It comes standard with feet for bench-top use but can also be mounted in a 19" rack with an optional rack adapter.
High isolation voltage
The output terminals of all units, including the low voltage variants, are floating and isolated up to 600 V DC. Combined with the optional 19" mounting, the power supply can be integrated into larger systems easily. In those situations, the interlock connector can be used for system level protection measures.

Options
Optional factory-installed features
High Speed Programming
Boosts programming speed by 10–20× and lowers output capacitance. Ideal for lasers, fast test systems, or plasma chamber applications requiring low parallel capacitance. See the High Speed Programming data sheet
2-Quadrant Output: Power Sink
Enables 2-quadrant operation: maintains constant output voltage, whether positive or negative power. Suitable for PWM-controlled DC motors and ATE systems. See the Power sink data sheet.
Digital Voltage and Current Setting
Digital encoders enable additional features. This option adds highly accurate digital encoders and automatic coarse or fine pitch adjustment that depend on turning speed. Additionally, this option adds the KEYLOCK function for enhanced operational safety. See the Digital Encoders data sheet.
Secured Voltage and Current Setting
CC and CV settings can be screwdriver-adjusted and locked with a protective cap to prevent tampering. The Digital setting option is also able to provide secured settings through software disable.
Increased Output Power
Select models support ~10% extra output power (with derating), while maintaining reliability. Either voltage or current range can be increased. Contact us to check availability per model.
Front Power Output
This option reroutes the output from the rear to the front panel (not available for SM7.5-80). For more details, see the SM800 series data sheet.
Additional programming interfaces
An extra interface can be factory-installed alongside the standard analog:
- ETH2 Ethernet card incl. sequencer and web interface
- RS232 card for serial programming
- ISO-AMP isolation amplifier card to enhance analog programming isolation
