Series 2600 System SourceMeter
Section 1: Front and Rear Panel Operation
How do I power-up the instrument?
Reference
See “Power-up” in Section 1 of the Series 2600 Reference Manual for more
information on line power.
Step 1: Connect to line power
CAUTION
Operating the instrument on an incorrect line voltage may cause damage
to the instrument, possibly voiding the warranty.
1. Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the front panel power switch is in the off
(O) position.
2. 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
Failure to use a grounded outlet may result in personal injury or
death due to electric shock.
Step 2: Turn on power
Turn on the instrument by pressing the front panel power switch to the on (I) position. Assuming no
errors occur, the Series 2600 will power-up as follows:
• After a few seconds with the OUTPUT indicators and display pixels on, the instrument
model number and firmware revision levels are briefly displayed.
• The node and the GPIB address are displayed briefly as follows:
KEITHLEY MODEL 26xx
1
NODE = 1
GPIB = 26
• The TSP-Link node and serial port parameters are displayed briefly:
KEITHLEY MODEL 26xx
2
NODE = 1
SERIAL = 9600,8,N,1,NONE
Step 3: Set line frequency
The Series 2600 will operate at line frequencies of either 50Hz or 60Hz. For best measurement
noise performance, the unit should be configured to match the actual line frequency used by
selecting MENU > LINE-FREQ > 50Hz, 60Hz, or AUTO. (When set to AUTO, the SourceMeter will
automatically detect the power line frequency at power-up.)
1. Instrument will display actual model number: 2601, 2602, 2611, 2612, 2635, or 2636.
2. Instrument will display actual model number: 2601, 2602, 2611, 2612, 2635, or 2636.
