CE181AXE, CE181BXE, and CE181CXE

Xenon Power Supply Specification

The CE181 power supply is designed to run xenon arc lamps in a constant-current mode. The supply is approved by Osram to drive the XBO 180W. The output current is adjustable from 11.75 to 12.25 Amps via a potentiometer on the circuit board. EMI line-filtering is built-in to the unit. The CE181BXE is the same as the A-model except it does not have Y-capacitors in the line filter section. The CE181CXE has smaller Y-capacitors to meet the 100 uA leakage requirement of many U.S. hospitals. The unit includes over-power protection that protects the lamp if the lamp voltage becomes too high.

Output power: 110 - 210 Watts, constant current
Output voltage compliance: 11.0 to 16.0 V operating, >110 VDC during ignition.
Output regulation: output current held to within +/- 5% over all input, output, and environmental condition
