Its manual operation makes it perfect for avionics engineers and maintenance professionals seeking precise and reliable power control for testing communication, navigation, and control systems in lab environments.

Key Features:

• Three Independent Channels for Multi-Voltage Testing:
  The 2231A-30-3 provides two 30V/3A channels and one 5V/3A channel, allowing avionics professionals to test systems that require different voltage levels, such as communication modules, navigation systems, and other avionics equipment. Each channel can be operated independently, ensuring flexibility for a variety of avionics testing scenarios.
• High Accuracy and Stability for Avionics Applications:
  With 0.03% basic voltage accuracy and 0.1% current accuracy, the 2231A-30-3 ensures precise power delivery during testing. Ripple and noise are kept under 3mVpp, providing low-noise output that is crucial for avionics systems, ensuring that test results are accurate and that sensitive avionics components are protected.
• Configurable Voltage and Current Outputs for Flexible Testing:
  The two 30V channels can be combined in series to provide up to 60V or in parallel to deliver up to 6A, providing flexibility for testing avionics systems that demand higher voltage or current levels. This is ideal for simulating different power conditions in systems such as radar and avionics processors.
• Manual Operation with User-Friendly Interface:
  The 2231A-30-3 features an intuitive manual control system, making it easy for avionics professionals to adjust voltage and current levels quickly and precisely. The bright vacuum fluorescent display shows voltage and current for all three channels simultaneously, providing clear visibility during testing. Its manual operation is perfect for avionics engineers who need direct control over their power supplies during lab-based tests.
• Protection and Safety Features for Avionics Testing:
  Each channel can be configured with independent voltage and current limits to protect sensitive avionics components from over-voltage or over-current conditions. Additionally, the manual control system ensures that professionals have complete oversight and control of their testing procedures, reducing the risk of unintended changes to the power supply settings.
• Compact and Durable Design for Avionics Workspaces:
  The Keithley 2231A-30-3 is compact and rugged, designed for use in avionics testing labs. Its small footprint ensures that it fits neatly into workspaces, while its durable construction allows it to withstand the demanding conditions of avionics maintenance environments.
