Input Connections

Connect the Power Cord

1.Unscrew the line fuse cap from the rear panel and verify that the fuse rating matches what is specified on the FUSES label on the rear panel. Reinstall the fuse. (See table 3-1 for fuse part numbers.)

2.Connect the power cord to the IEC 320 connector on the rear of the unit. If the wrong power cord was shipped with your unit, contact your nearest HP Sales and Support Office (refer to the list at the back of this guide) to obtain the correct cord.

Output Connections

The output terminal block has connections for the + and − output, the + and − sense inputs, and an earth ground terminal. The terminal block screws are 6-32 X 3/8 inch. Remove the safety cover by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver in the opening on the left side of the cover and pushing the locking tab to the left. This will release the cover.

Optional front panel binding posts are available to connect load wires for bench operation. The front panel binding posts are paralleled with the rear panel + and − connections. Before using the front panel binding posts, make sure that the output terminals are jumpered for local sensing.

NOTE: Front panel binding posts are provided for convenience. Only the rear panel terminals are optimized for noise, regulation, and transient response as documented in Appendix A.

Wire Considerations

To minimize the possibility of instability on the output,

keep load leads as short as possible

bundle or twist the leads tightly together to minimize inductance

Current Ratings

Fire Hazard To satisfy safety requirements, load wires must be large enough not to overheat when carrying the maximum short-circuit current of the dc source. If there is more than one load, then any pair of load wires must be capable of safely carrying the full-rated current of the dc source.
