Installation, Initial Inspection | Agilent Technologies 6012B

Installation

Introduction

This section contains instructions for checking and repackaging 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..

Note: All power supplies generate magnetic fields that 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 power supply. Typically, at three inches from the supply, the electromagnetic field is less than 5 gauss.

Many CRT’s, such as those used in computer displays, are susceptible to magnetic fields much lower than 5 gauss. Check susceptibility before mounting any display near the power supply.

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 a claim with the 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 that can be used quickly to place the supply into operation. Refer to the inside cover page 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 the “Input Power Requirements” section in this chapter.

Location and Cooling

The supply is fan cooled and must be installed with sufficient space in the rear and on sides for airflow. It should be used in an area where the ambient temperature does not exceed + 50 °C (55 °C for models 6023Aand 6028A).

Caution: When mounting several units in an enclosed rack, care should be taken to insure there is sufficient airflow through the enclosure. Failure to provide sufficient airflow may result in damage to the power supply or other equipment in the enclosure.
