Chapter 2 Initial Operation

Power-On Checkout

28

Power-On Checkout

The power-on test includes an automatic self-test that checks the internal 
microprocessors and allows the user visually to check the display. You will 
observe the following sequence on the display after pressing the front panel 
power switch to on.

1 All segments of the display including all annunciators will turn on 

for about one second.

To review the annunciators, hold down the 

 key as you 

turn on the power supply.

2 The GPIB address or RS-232 message will then be displayed for 

about one second.

The GPIB address is set to 

5

 when the power supply is shipped from the 

factory for remote interface configuration. If this is not the first time the 
power supply is turned on, a different interface (RS-232) or a different GPIB 
address may appear.

See ‘‘Remote Interface Configuration’’, for more information starting on 
page 48 in chapter 3 if you need to change the remote interface configuration.

3 The 

OFF

 and 

+6V

” 

annunciators are on. All others are off.

The power supply will go into the 

power-on / reset

 state; all outputs are 

disabled (the 

OFF

 annunciator turns on); the display is selected for the +

6V

 

supply (the +

6V 

annunciator turns on); and the knob is selected for 

voltage 

control.

4 Enable the outputs.

Press the 

 

key to enable the outputs. The 

OFF

 

annunciator turns off and the 

+6V

 and 

CV

 annunciators are lit. The 

blinking

 digit can be adjusted by turning the knob. Notice that the 

display is in the meter mode. 

Meter mode

 means that the display 

shows the actual output voltage and current.

N o t e    

If the power supply detects an error during power-on self-test, the

 ERROR

 

annunciator will turn on. See “Error Messages”, for more information
