Goods-in checks
The following goods-in check verifies that the instrument is functioning correctly, but does not
verify conformance to the listed specification. To verify that the instrument conforms to the
specification given in Chapter 1, refer to Chapter 7, ‘Acceptance testing’.
(1) Ensure that the correct fuse is fitted (accessible from the rear panel) and connect the
instrument to the supply.
(2) Switch on and check that a display is present.
(3) If the instrument appears to be completely dead, carry out the following:
Check that the mains power supply line is providing power to the instrument.
Check that the mains fuses have not blown.
Connecting to supply
The instrument is a Safety Class 1 product and therefore must be earthed. Use the supplied power
cord or an appropriate replacement. Make sure that the instrument is plugged into an outlet socket
with a protective earth contact.
Disconnecting device
The detachable power cord is the instrument’s disconnecting device, but if the instrument is
integrated into a rack or system, an external power switch or circuit breaker may be required.
Whatever the disconnecting device, make sure that you can reach it easily and that it is accessible
at all times.
Ensure that the AC supply is correctly connected to the POWER SUPPLY socket. For supplies in
the range 100–240 V~, the PSU automatically selects the appropriate range. There is no manual
voltage range selection provided.
Fuse
For the AC voltage range of 100-240V~ the fuse rating is T4AL250V. The AC fuse is a cartridge
type measuring 20 mm
×
5 mm.
The fuse-holder is integral with the rear-panel 3-pin supply plug. For access to change the fuse,
use a screwdriver to lever out the holder.
General purpose interface bus (GPIB)
The GPIB interface built into the instrument enables the signal generators to be remotely
controlled to form part of an automatic measuring system.
GPIB cable connection
Connection to other equipment which has a 24-way connector to IEEE Standard 488 is made using
the rear-panel GPIB 1 socket. For this purpose, the GPIB cable assembly, available as an optional
accessory, (see Chapter 1, ‘Versions, options and accessories’) may be used. A second socket,
GPIB 2, may be fitted as an option (not yet implemented).
