SAFETY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
WARNING
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing injury or death, are present in this instrument. Use extreme caution
whenever the instrument cover is removed. Do not remove the cover while the unit is plugged into a live outlet.
CAUTION
This instrument may be damaged if operated with
the LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR set for the wrong
AC line voltage or if the wrong fuse is installed.
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION
The SR715/720 operates from a 100V, 120V,
220V, or 240V nominal AC power source having a
line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Before connecting
the power cord to a power source, verify that the
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR card, located in the
rear panel fuse holder, is set so that the correct AC
input voltage value is visible.
Conversion to other AC input voltages requires a
change in the fuse holder voltage card position and
fuse value. Disconnect the power cord, open the
fuse holder cover door and rotate the fuse-pull
lever to remove the fuse. Remove the small
printed circuit board and select the operating
voltage by orienting the printed circuit board so that
the desired voltage is visible when pushed firmly
into its slot. Rotate the fuse-pull lever back into its
normal position and insert the correct fuse into the
fuse holder.
LINE FUSE
Verify that the correct line fuse is installed before
connecting the line cord. For 100V/120V, use a 1/2
Amp fuse and for 220V/240V, use a 1/4 Amp fuse.
LINE CORD
The SR715/720 has a detachable, three-wire
power cord for connection to the power source and
to a protective ground. The exposed metal parts of
the instrument are connected to the outlet ground
to protect against electrical shock. Always use an
outlet which has a properly connected protective
ground.
BIAS VOLTAGE ON CAPACITORS
Verify that polarized capacitors are installed with
the correct polarity before applying a bias voltage.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the unit,
the device under test, or possible injury. The
SR715/720 fixture and remote fixtures are marked
with '+' and '-' signs, or by red leads for the positive
connectors. Capacitors charged by an external
bias voltage should be discharged after making the
measurement. A 40 volt external bias can charge a
capacitor to a high enough voltage that it can
cause injury if it is accidentally discharged. See the
section on BIAS for more information on how to
safely apply external bias voltage.
When connecting the external bias voltage to the
unit, observe the correct polarity and make certain
that the bias supply is floating (neither side is
connected to ground). Be certain to use a supply
current limited to 250 mA or less.
PROTECTION FUSES
In addition to the line fuse, the SR715/720 has two
other protection fuses. The external bias fuse
(3AG 0.25 A) is installed on the rear panel, next to
the bias terminals. If unstable readings occur when
making measurements with an external bias,
check this fuse. The other fuse is an output
protection fuse (2AG 0.25 A) located internally on
the main PCB. If unstable or erratic readings occur
or an 'outPut Err' (output err) occurs during self
test, this fuse may be damaged. See the
maintenance section for more information.
SERVICE
Do not attempt to service or adjust this instrument
unless another person, capable of providing first
aid or resuscitation, is present. Do not install
substitute parts or perform any unauthorized
modifications to this instrument. Contact the
factory for instructions on how to return the
instrument for authorized service and adjustment.
