Power-On Checkout
The power-on test includes an automatic self-test that checks the internal
microprocessors and allows the user visually to check the display. You will
observe the following sequence on the display after pressing the front panel
power switch to on.
1 The front-panel display will light up briefly while the instrument
performs its power-on self-test.
To review the power-on display with all annunciators turned on, hold down
key as you turn on the power supply.
2 The GPIB address or RS-232 is also displayed for about one second.
The GPIB address is set to ‘‘5’’ when the power supply is shipped from the
factory for remote interface configuration. If this is not the first time the power
supply is turned on, a different interface (RS-232) or a different GPIB address
may appear.
See "Remote Interface Configuration" in chapter 3 starting on page 58 if you
need to change the remote interface configuration.
3The “
8V”* or “25V”**, “OVP”, “OCP” and “OFF” annunciators are on.
All others are off.
The power supply will go into the power-on / reset state; the output is disabled
(the
OFF annunciator turns on); the 8/20A* or 25V/7A** range is selected (the
8V* or 25V** annunciator turns on); and the knob is selected for voltage
control. Notice that the
OVP and OCP annunciator also turn on.
4 Enable the outputs.
The
OFF annunciator turns off and the 8V* or 25V**, OVP, OCP, and CV
annunciators are lit. The blinking digit can be adjusted by turning the knob.
Notice that the display is in the meter mode. ‘‘Meter mode’’ means that the
display shows the actual output voltage and current.
Note If the power supply detects an error during power-on self-test, the ERROR
annunciator will turn on. See "Error Messages" for more information starting on page
123 in chapter 5
