Performance. Reliance. Brilliance.

The Sorensen™ Asterion® DC ASM Series is the newest addition to the Asterion platform of power testingsolutions. The new ASM series features three independent, isolated 1700W channels for a combined 5100W total output power.

Maximize rack space utilization with leading DC power density in a 1U chassis.
Quickly and expertly control the DC supply with intuitive touchscreen.

Sequencing: Store 50 sequences of 20 individual steps. Sequences may be tied together. Extensive list of step functions, ramping, looping, Go-To and subroutine calls. Sequences are only available through remote interfaces, not available on the front panel.

Voltage and Current Ramps: Programmable dwell time from 1 millisecond minimum to 9,999 seconds maximum.

On and Off Delays: Programmable from 0.1 second minimum to 9,999 seconds maximum.

Three-Phase AC Input flexibility: Exceptionally well suited for integrated system phase balancing.

The Asterion DC ASM Series provides industry-leading high-power density with three 1,700 Watt channels in a 1U (1.75 inch, 44.45 mm) high chassis. Each channel is isolated for independent voltage, current, or power control and measurement. Eight available channel output options can be mixed or matched in each unit providing the ultimate flexibility. This space-saving design enables system integrators more capability in less space than other competing products.

The Asterion DC ASM Series solution provides three, independent, isolated, 1700 Watt programmable output channels in one-third the space required by traditional solutions.
Additionally, the Asterion DC ASM Series 3-phase AC input voltage options mitigate the need for system integrators to phase balance their test systems. Available 3-phase AC input options include 200-240 VAC, 380-415 VAC, and 440-480 VAC nominal input voltages covering the global spectrum of AC input criteria.

Control via Front Panel Touchscreen & Encoder Knob or available digital control interfaces

The Asterion DC ASM Series is Digital Signal Processor (DSP) controlled and can be operated from the intuitive, easy-to-use front panel touchscreen or the Ethernet LXI, USB, and RS232 standard control interfaces, as well as through the optional GPIB control interface or Isolated Analog Control interface.

The touchscreen function group icons include a Dashboard, Output Programming Parameters, Measurements, Sequencing, Configuration, Control Interfaces, Applications, and System Settings. Function selection and parameter entry can be achieved either by direct selection from the touchscreen or by using the encoder selector button. The control resolution is adjusted by a dynamic rate change algorithm that combines the benefits of
precise control over small parameter changes with quick sweeps through the entire range.
