CURRENT OUTPUT Binding Posts

The source of all amplified current if the 5725A is configured for front output. You can set the 5700A to source all unamplified as well as amplified current through these binding posts. The LO binding post is isolated from ground when in the current function, and is open-circuited at other times. Cable and connection recommendations are made in Section 4 of the 5700A Operator Manual.

5725A STANDBY Indicator

Lit whenever the 5725A is in any of three standby modes. This indicator is lit alone in standby mode; it is lit at the same time as VOLTAGE MODE in voltage standby mode; and it is lit at the same time as CURRENT MODE in current standby mode. (See "5725A Operating Functions and Modes," further on in this section.)

CURRENT MODE Indicator

Lit when the 5725A is in current standby or current operate mode. In current standby mode, the STANDBY indicator is also lit. (See "5725A Operating Functions and Modes," further on in this section.)

VOLTAGE MODE Indicator

Lit when the 5725A is in voltage standby or voltage operate mode. In voltage standby mode, the STANDBY indicator is also lit. (See "5725A Operating Functions and Modes," further on in this section.)

POWER Switch

Turns the power on and off. The switch is a push-push type; the first push turns the power on and locks the switch in, and the second push turns the power off and releases the switch.

CABLE OFF Indicator

Lit when the 5700A/5725A interface cable is not connected, or when the 5700A power is turned off. This condition also lights the FAULT indicator.

OVERLOAD Indicator

Lights on entering current operate mode in overcompliance conditions (load not connected to the proper binding posts, or load resistance too high). The OVERLOAD indicator also lights on entering voltage operate mode if the load resistance is too low.

FAULT Indicator

Lit whenever any fault condition is detected. Normally, a fault code and message appears on the 5700A Control Display when this happens. The FAULT indicator also comes on with the CABLE OFF indicator when the 5700A/5725A interface cable is not connected. In case of a FAULT indication, check the 5700A/5725A interface cable connections, make sure the 5700A power is on, and check that the load is appropriate and connected to the correct binding posts. Refer to "Service Information" in Section 2, or to Section 7, Troubleshooting, in case of a FAULT indication that appears to be a malfunction.
