2. High-Voltage Adjustment (SN 3001A and Below)

Warning

With the protective cover removed in the following step, do not

 

place hands near the AlA High-Voltage assembly. High voltage

 

(approximately -4000 V dc) can be present even when the ac line

 

cord is disconnected.

 

 

 

10. Wait at least one minute for capacitors to discharge to a safe

 

level.

 

11. Remove the protective cover from the AlA High-Voltage

 

Regulator. A label should be visible on the AlAST High-Voltage

 

Transformer. Record the voltage listed on the label for use in step

 

15.

Note

 

If the label is missing, use the nominal value of -3790 V dc.

 

 

12.Connect the high-voltage probe to AlA3TP3. See Figure 3-7 for the location of the test point.

Warning

With power supplied to the instrument, AlA3TP3 is at a voltage

 

level of approximately -4000 V dc. Be extremely careful.

13.Reconnect ac line cords to both instrument sections. Set the LINE switch to ON.

14.Wait approximately 30 seconds for the dc regulator circuits to stabilize.

15.Adjust AlA6R32 HV ADJ for a DVM indication equal to the calibration factor (calculated in step 8) times the voltage labeled on the top of AlA High-Voltage Regulator (noted in step 11). See Figure 3-6 for the location of the adjustment.
