Installing the Unit
Safety Considerations
This power system is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means it has
a protective earth terminal. That terminal must be connected to earth
ground through a power source equipped with a ground receptacle.
Refer to the Safety Summary page at the beginning of this guide for
general safety information. Before installation or operation, check
the power system and review this guide for safety warnings and
instructions. Safety warnings for specific procedures are located at
appropriate places throughout this Guide.
Environment
WARNING
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes
The environmental conditions of the instrument are documented in
Appendix A. Basically, the instrument should only be operated
indoors in a controlled environment.
The dimensions of your instrument as well as an outline diagram are
given in Appendix A. A fan cools the power system by drawing air
through the sides and exhausting it out the side and back. The
instrument must be installed in a location that allows sufficient space
at the sides and back of the unit for adequate air circulation.
Cleaning
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD To prevent electric shock, unplug the unit before cleaning.
Use a dry cloth or one slightly dampened with water to clean the
external case parts. Do not use detergent or chemical solvents. Do
not attempt to clean internally.
Power Module Channel Assignment
The slot location of a power module in the mainframe determines the
channel assignment of the module. When viewed from the rear, the
module next to the GPIB connector is always output channel one.
Numbering continues sequentially to the left, from one up to four.
Double-wide power modules are assigned the number of the lowest
numbered slot in which is installed. For example, if a double-wide
module is installed in slots 3 and 4, it is assigned channel number 3.
Grouped power modules, those that are connected in parallel and
have been configured or grouped to act as a single higher-power
channel, are assigned the channel number of the lowest numbered
slot of the group.
