Manual Revisions Agilent Technologies instruments are identified by a 10-digit serial number. The format is described as follows: first two letters indicate the country of manufacture. The next four digits are a code that identify either the date of manufacture or of a significant design change. The last four digits are a sequential number assigned to each instrument. Item Description US The first two letters indicates the country of manufacture, where US = USA; MY = Malaysia. 3648 This is a cod

2 Calibration and Verification Introduction This section provides test and calibration procedures. The operation-verification tests comprise a short procedure to verify that the unit is performing properly, without testing all specified parameters. After troubleshooting and repair of a defective power supply you can usually verify proper operation with the turn-on checkout procedure in the Operating Manual. Repairs to the A1 main board and the A2 control board can involve circuits which, althoug

Initial Setup Maintenance described herein is performed with power supplied to the instrument, and protective covers removed. Such maintenance should be performed only by service trained personnel who are aware of the hazards involved (for example, fire and electrical shock). Turn off ac power when making or removing connections to the power supply. Where maintenance can be performed without power applied, the power should be removed. a. Unplug the line cable and remove the top cover by removi

Constant Voltage (CV) Tests CV Setup. If more than one meter or a meter and an oscilloscope are used, connect each to the + S and - S terminals by a separate pair of leads to avoid mutual coupling effects. Connect only to + S and -S (except for peak-to-peak PARD) because the unit regulates the output voltage between + S and - S, not between + OUT and -OUT. Use coaxial cable or shielded 2-wire cable to avoid pickup on test leads. For all CV tests set the output current at full output to assure CV
