Installation

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.
