Power-up
2.2.1 Line power connections
Follow the procedure below to connect the Model 6517A to
line power and turn on the instrument.
1. First check to see that the line voltage selection switch
(see Figure 2-1) on the rear panel is in the correct posi-
tion for the operating voltage in your area. The 115V po-
sition is for line power in a voltage range from 90V to
125V. The 230V position is for line power in a voltage
range from 180V to 250V. The instrument will operate
at a line frequency of 50Hz, 60Hz or 400Hz.
CAUTION
Operating the instrument on an incor-
rect line voltage may cause damage to
the instrument, possibly voiding the
warranty.
2. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure the front
panel power switch is in the off (0) position.
3. Connect the female end of the supplied power cord to
the AC receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the other
end of the power cord to a grounded AC outlet.
WARNING
The power cord supplied with the Model
6517A contains a separate ground wire
for use with grounded outlets. When
proper connections are made, instru-
ment chassis is connected to power line
ground through the ground wire in the
power cord. Failure to use a grounded
outlet may result in personal injury or
death due to electric shock.
2.2.2 Line fuse replacement
A rear panel fuse located below the AC receptacle protects
the power line input of the instrument. If the fuse needs to be
replaced, perform the following steps:
WARNING
Make sure the instrument is disconnect-
ed from the line and other equipment
before replacing the line fuse.
1. With the power off, place the end of a flat-blade screw-
driver into the rear panel LINE FUSE holder. Push in
gently and rotate the fuse carrier one-quarter turn coun-
terclockwise. Release pressure on the holder and its in-
ternal spring will push the fuse carrier out of the holder.
2. Remove the fuse and replace it with the type recom-
mended in Table 2-1.
CAUTION
Do not use a fuse with a higher current
rating than specified, or instrument
damage may occur. If the instrument re-
peatedly blows fuses, locate and correct
the cause of the trouble before replacing
the fuse.
Install the new fuse and fuse carrier into the holder by revers-
ing the above procedure.
