  illustrates  the  outline shape  and  dimensions  of  the 

supply.

Rack Mounting

This supply may be rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack 
panel  either  by  itself  or  alongside  a  similar  unit.  Please  see 
the  ACCESSORY, 

page  1-8

,  for  available  rack  mounting 

accessory. The rack-mounting kit includes complete installa-
tion instructions.

INPUT POWER REQUIREMENTS

Depending  on  the  line  voltage  option  ordered,  the  supply  is 
ready to be operated from one of the power sources listed in 
Table 1. A label on the rear heat sink shows the nominal input 
voltage set for the supply at the factory.

Power Cable

To  protect  operating  personnel,  the  supply  should  be 
grounded.  This  supply  is  equipped  with  a  three  conductor 
power cable. The third conductor is the ground conductor and 
when the cable is plugged into an appropriate receptacle, the 
supply is grounded. The power supply is equipped at the fac-
tory with a power cord plug appropriate for the user's location. 
Notify  the  nearest  Keysight  Sales  and  Service  Office  if  the 
appropriate power cord is not included with the supply.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

This section describes the operating controls and indicators, 
turn-on  checkout  procedures,  and  other  operating  consider-
ations for the Model E3620A Dual Output Power Supply. 

Before applying power to the supply, check the label on the 
heat sink to make certain that the supply's line voltage option 
agrees with the line voltage to be used. If the option does not 
correspond to your line voltage, refer to paragraph "LINE 
VOLTAGE OPTION CONVERSION" in the service section 
before applying power.

Figure 2. Front-Panel Controls and Indicators

CONTROLS

Line Switch

The  LINE  pushbutton  switch  (

Figure  2

)  is  pushed-in  to 

turn  the  supply  ON  and  released  (out  position)  to  turn  the 
supply OFF.

Voltage and Current Metering

Two meter select pushbutton switches (

 and 

) permit the

output  voltage  and  current  of  either  output  (V1  or  V2)  to  be 
monitored on the VOLTS/AMPS meter. The V1 and V2 output 
select pushbuttons connect the desired output to the meter-
ing circuit when the applicable button is pushed in.

Be careful that both METER pushbuttons are not released 
(out-position) or pushed in simultaneously. 

Voltage Controls

The V1 and V2 voltage controls (

 and 

) set the voltage 

level of the corresponding output. The voltage controls are 10 
turn potentiometers.
