Chapter 3 Calibration Procedures

Calibration Security Code

To Unsecure the Power Supply Without the Security Code

To unsecure the power supply without the correct security code (when you forget the security code), follow the steps below. See "Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions" in chapter 5 before beginning this procedure.

1Disconnect the power cord and all load connections from front terminals.

2Remove the instrument cover. Refer to the disassembly drawing on page 123.

3Connect the power cord and turn on the calibration mode by pressing the "Calibrate" key while simultaneously turning on the power supply then continue to hold the "Calibrate" key for about 5 seconds until a beep is heard. Be careful not to touch the power line connections.

4Apply a short between the two exposed metal pads on JP1 (located near main controller U17 on the top board). The exposed metal pads are outlined with a small rectangular silkscreen. (See the component locator drawing for the E3631-60002 top PC board on page 124.)

5While maintaining the short, move to the security code and enter any unsecure code in the calibration mode. The power supply is now unsecured.

6Remove the short at JP1. (An error occurs if not removed.)

7Turn off and reassemble the power supply.

Now you can enter a new security code. Be sure you take note of the new security code.
