5 - Programming the Output Relay (option 760 only)
Units with option 760 have isolation and polarity reversal relays connected to the output and sense terminals. (Option 760 is not available on HP 6631B units.)
To control the relays independently of the Output On/Off switch, proceed as follows:
| Action | Display |
1. | On the Function keypad, press Output, and scroll through the Output | RELAY ON |

| open the relay. Note that the output relays always open or close |
|
| whenever the Output On/Off key is pressed. |
|
To control the polarity of the output relays, proceed as follows:
| Action | Display |
1. | On the Function keypad, press Output, and scroll through the Output | REL:POL NORM |
| menu until you get to the REL:POL command. The display indicates the |
|
| present condition of the relay (either normal or reversed). |
|
2. | Use the ã and ä keys to select either NORM or REV. NORMal causes | RELAY OFF |
| the relay polarity to be the same as the dc source output REVerse causes |
|
| the relay polarity to be opposite to that of the dc source output. |
