Check the External Current Shunt Setting
After you have completed your cable connections, you can turn on and check out the ac source as
described in the Turn-On Checkout chapter in the ac source User’s Guide. One additional step in
checking out a unit with Option 020/022 installed, is to make sure that the correct shunt value has been
entered in the unit. To check the shunt value setting, proceed as follows:
Action

1.
Turn on the ac source and wait for the unit to finish its internal selftest.
2.
Press
Shift Calibration
and scroll to the SHUNT command.
SHUNT 0.01

Check to see if the resistance value on the display matches the value written on the
outside of the external current shunt.
If it matches, press
Meter
to return to meter mode. You are done.
If it does not match, you must enter the correct value. Proceed as follows:

To set the peak frequency deviation of the output frequency modulation, press
Frequency
. Then scroll to the
FM:DEV
command to enter a frequency deviation.
Use the numeric keypad to enter a value and press
Enter
.
The deviation frequency must be less than the programmed output frequency by at
least 0.001 Hz
.
Otherwise, it will result in Error 613.
