National Instruments PS-6 Power Supply

The National Instruments NI PS-6 (Part Number: 780577-01) is a 3A, 5 VDC Regulated Universal Power Supply. This model is designed explicitly for Hall Effect Sensors. The PS-6 is extensively used with National Instruments Universal Motion Interfaces, such as the UMI-7764, UMI-7772, and UMI-7774. This industrial grade power supply offers full output over a broad temperature range, i.e. -25 to 60 °C. The NI PS-6 is known for its >90 percent efficiency. However, for dynamic loads, this power supply operates with 20% to 50% power reserves.

The National Instruments PS-6 can be used with a stripped and tinned output power cord. This model comes with integrated protective functions. Thus, it is considered a safe choice for delicate loads such as sensors, I/O modules, etc. This DC power supply can easily be mounted in a DIN rail configuration. The construction and design features of the NI PS-6 make it an ideal solution to be deployed in a variety of operating environments. Another notable feature of this power supply is its capability to operate over a universal voltage range.

To eliminate human errors, an integral voltage-sensing mechanism is incorporated. Thus, the power supply can sense and adjust itself according to the supply voltages. Moreover, its ability to reserve a significant percentage of its output power enables the user to draw more power, while operating in ambient conditions where the temperature remains <45 degrees Celsius. The National Instruments PS-6 is an instrument friendly power supply. Thus, the user can have it installed and utilized for a variety of sensors and precision instruments.
