INTRODUCTION

This section provides performance test, troubleshooting infor-
mation, and adjustment and calibration procedures. The fol-
lowing operation verification tests comprise a short procedure 
to verify that the power supply is performing properly, without 
testing all specified parameters.

If  a  fault  is  detected  in  the  power  supply  while  making  the 
performance  check  or  during  normal  operation,  proceed  to 
the  troubleshooting  procedures.  After  troubleshooting,  per-
form  any  necessary  adjustments  and  calibrations.  Before 
returning  the  power  supply  to  normal  operation,  repeat  the 
performance check to ensure that the fault has been properly 
corrected and that no other faults exist.

Test Equipment Required

Table A-1

 lists the equipment required to perform the various 

procedures described in this section.

Operation Verification Tests

The  following  tests  assure  that  the  power  supply  is  per-
forming properly. They do not, however, check all the speci-
fied  parameters  tested  in  the  complete  performance  test 
described below. Proceed as follows:

a. Perform turn-on checkout procedure given in 

page 1-11

.

b. Perform the load regulation performance tests given in 

the following paragraphs.

 

Line Voltage Option Conversion

To convert the supply from one line voltage option to another, 
the following three steps are necessary:

a. After making certain that the line cord is disconnected 

from a source of power, remove the top cover from the 
supply and set the two sections of the line voltage selec-
tor switch for the desired line voltage  (see 

Figure A-1

).

b. Check the rating of the installed fuse and replace it with 

the correct value, if necessary. For Option OE3, use a 
slow-blow 1 amp fuse. For standard and Option OE9, use 
a slow-blow 2 amp fuse. 

c. Mark the instrument clearly with a tag or label indicating 

the correct line voltage to be used.
