Applications
The BTS PS1200 is a variable AC power controller of the type historically used to drive actinic (UV/visible spectrum) lighting systems in photolithography, UV exposure, and controlled-illumination laboratory environments — applications where precise, adjustable AC voltage is required to regulate lamp intensity. Units of this class also see use on laboratory benches for general variable-voltage AC testing, burn-in testing of AC-powered devices, and equipment requiring soft-start or voltage sweep capabilities. BTS Inc. produced the PS1200 under license from Actinic Systems, Inc., a company associated with controlled-spectrum lighting for scientific and photographic applications.
This BTS PS1200 Variable AC Power Controller is being sold as-is for parts or repair. The unit does power on; however, the POWER indicator light flickers and we were unable to fully test it. The front-panel AC voltmeter reads beyond its 300 VAC maximum scale, and the unit appears to be outputting approximately 320–340 VAC — outside its rated operating range. Due to this abnormal behavior, it cannot be confirmed functional and is listed strictly in as-is, for-parts condition with no functionality guarantee.
