Introduction
This section contains instructions for checking and repacking the supply, bench or rack mounting, connecting the supply to
ac input power, and converting the supply from one line voltage to another if required. Instructions for connecting load and
GP-IB cables, and for setting the GP-IB address are given in Section III.
Note Agilent 603xA power supplies generate magnetic fields which may affect the operation of other
instruments. If your instrument is susceptible to operating magnetic fields, do not locate it in the
immediate vicinity of the Agilent 603xA power supply. Typically, at three inches from the supply, the
electromagnetic field is less than 5 gauss.
Initial Inspection
Before shipment, this supply was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the supply
is unpacked, inspect for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Save all packing materials until the inspection is
completed. If damage is found, file claim with carrier immediately. The Agilent Technologies Sales and Support office
should be notified as soon as possible.
Mechanical Check
This check should confirm that there are no broken knobs or connectors, that the cabinet and panel surfaces are free of dents
and scratches, and that the meter face and rear-panel plastic covers are not scratched or cracked.
Electrical Check
Section III contains an abbreviated check which can be used quickly to place the supply into operation. Refer to the inside
front cover of the manual for Certification and Warranty statements.
Preparation For Use
In order to be put into service, the power supply must be connected to an appropriate ac input power source. Also, the line
voltage for which the supply is set must be checked. Additional steps may include line voltage conversion and rack
mounting. Do not apply power to the supply before reading Input Power Requirements paragraph on the following page.
Location and Cooling
The supply is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space in the rear and on sides for air flow. It should be used in
an area where the ambient temperature does not exceed + 50 °C.
