WARNING:
Before connecting wires to the front or rear panel
output terminals, turn OFF the power supply to
avoid damage to the instrument and the device
under test (DUT). For safety, load wires must have
a wire gauge size large enough to prevent
overheating when the power supply operates at
maximum short circuit output current. It will also
prevent large voltage drops from resistances in the
wires.
2.4 Preliminary Check
Complete the following steps to verify that the power supply is ready
for use.
1. Verify Line Voltage Selection
Complete the steps as described in “2.2 Line Voltage
Selection” to make sure the supply is correctly setup to
operate with the line voltage source to be used.
2. Connect Power and Self Test
Connect AC power cord to the AC receptacle in the rear
panel and press to turn on the instrument. It will run
through a self test procedure, as well as check for installed
interface cards. The following screens will display before it’s
ready for use (Display will vary based on the model and
installed interface cards)
