Preliminary Checkout
The following steps help you verify that the power supply is ready for use.
1 Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your power supply. If
anything is missing, contact your nearest Agilent Technologies Sales Office.
One power cord for your location.
This User’s Guide.
Quick Reference Guide.
Certificate of Calibration.
2 Connect the power cord and turn on the power supply.
The front-panel display will light up briefly while the power supply performs
its power-on self-test. The GPIB address is also displayed. To review the power-
on display with all annunciators turned on, hold down as you turn on
the power supply. If the power supply does not turn on properly, see page 20.
3 Perform a complete self-test.
The complete self-test performs a more extensive set of tests than those
performed at power-on. Hold down as you turn on the power supply and
hold down the key until you hear a long beep. The self-test will begin when
you release the key following the beep.
If the self-test fails, see the Service Information for instructions on returning
the power supply to Agilent Technologies for service.
Note The power supply is shipped from the factory with a power-line cord that has a plug
appropriate for your location. Your power supply is equipped with a 3-wire grounding
type power cord; the third conductor being the ground. The power supply is grounded
only when the power-line cord is plugged into an appropriate receptacle. Do not
operate your power supply without adequate cabinet ground connection.
