Names and Functions of Parts
1.1 Panels
Front Panel
Bottom legs
→ sec. 3.2
OUTPUT DIVIDER Section
Divides the output range equally.
→ sec. 1.2, 7.1
RANGE dial
• Switches the voltage, current, resistance, and temperature ranges. → sec. 5.1, 6.1
• When SETUP is selected, a SETUP menu appears. → ch. 4
Displays the output value and unit
HIGH VOLTAGE LED
Illuminates when the range is set
to 100 V or 1000 V. → sec. 5.1
Main Setting Section
DEVIATION/PRESET Section
Illuminates when the 2560A is in remote mode
(controlled through communications). → sec. 9.1,
10.1, 11.1
• Used to set and display the output range of voltage,
current, resistance, and temperature. → sec. 1.2, 5.2,
5.3, 6.2, 6.3
• Displays the SETUP menu. → ch. 4
• Sets the deviation. Displays the lowest digit in high
resolution mode. → sec. 1.2, 7.2
• Used to display and set SETUP submenus and
options. → ch. 4
Displays the output voltage, current, resistance, or
temperature and the unit. → sec. 5.4, 6.4
RJC indicators
Indicates the current RJC mode. → sec. 6.6
Handle
Available on each side.
→ sec. 3.1, 3.2
High voltage output terminals*
• Used to connect the included
measurement leads → sec. 3.6
• Output terminals for the following
ranges: 100 V, 1000 V.
→ sec. 2.1, 5.1
Large current output terminals*
• Used to connect the included measurement leads → sec. 3.6
• Output terminals for the following ranges: 10 A, 30 A.
→ sec. 2.1, 5.1
OUTPUT Section
• Turns the voltage, current, resistance, or temperature output
on and off. → sec. 1.2, 5.4, 6.4
• Switches remote mode (controlled through communications) to
local mode. → sec. 9.1, 10.1, 11.1
SWEEP Section
Performs up or down sweeps → sec. 1.2, 7.3
SCALE Section
Used to select the main setting (MAX) and main setting (MIN) of the
output range.
→ sec. 1.2, 5.3, 6.3
TEMPERATURE dial
Switches the thermocouple or RTD type
and the RJC mode. → sec. 6.1, 6.5, 6.6
Power switch
Turns the power on and off →
sec. 3.4
REMOTE indicator
OUTPUT 2 indicator
Illuminates when the range is set
to 100 V, 1000 V, 10 A, or 30 A. It
indicates that voltage is output
from the high voltage output
terminals or current is output from
the large current output terminals.
→ sec. 2.1, 5.1
Low voltage-current output
terminals*
• Used to connect the included
measurement leads → sec. 3.6
• Output terminals for the
following ranges: 100 mV, 1 V,
10 V, 100 µA, 1 mA, 10 mA, 100
mA, 1 A, 400 Ω, TEMP.
→ sec. 2.1, 5.1, 6.1
OUTPUT 1 indicator
Illuminates when the range is set to 100 mV, 1 V, 10 V, 100 µA, 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA, 1 A, 400 Ω, or TEMP.
It indicates that voltage or current is output from the low voltage-current output terminals.
→ sec. 2.1, 5.1, 6.1
