Notes:
<br /> 
¹
<small>
Collector Supply Maximum Continuous Peak Current Operating Time vs Duty Cycle and Ambient Temperature. With the PEAK POWER WATTS at 50 only, the following limitations apply: Maximum continuous operating time at rated current (100% duty cycle) into a short circuit is 20 minutes at 25° C ambient, or 10 minutes at 40° C ambient. Alternatively, duty cycle may be limited to 50% at 25° C ambient or 25% at 40° C ambient. (A normal family of curves for a transistor will produce a duty cycle effect to 50% or less even
if operated continuously.) Over dissipation of the collector supply will temporarily shut it off and turn on the yellow COLLECTOR SUPPLY VOLTAGE DISABLED light. No damage will result.
</small>
<br />
²
<small>
Continuous DC Output vs Time, Temperature and Duty Cycle. 2 A continuous DC output can be achieved for an unlimited period up to 30° C ambient. Between 30° C and 40° C ambient, 2 A continuous DC operation should be limited to 15 minutes or limited to a 50% duty cycle or less. A family of steps (such as 10 steps at 200 mA per step) will automatically reduce the duty cycle to 50% even if generated continuously. Exceeding the rating will temporarily shut off power to the entire instrument but no damage will result.
