Series 2280 Precision DC Power Supply Reference Manual  Appendix B: Verification

Performance verification procedures 
Use the procedures in this topic to verify the performance of the Series 2280 instruments. 
 
Performance verification conditions 
The following conditions must be met before performing these procedures: 
  The device under test (DUT) and all test equipment must have been operating continuously for 20 
minutes in an environment that meets the operating range specifications for temperature and 
humidity. 
  Changes to the test setup that affect the remote sense require an additional 20 minute warm-up 
period. 
  The procedures are intended to be used in sequence. If it is necessary to partially test the DUT 
using an individual test, a 20-minute warm-up period is required for the individual test. 
  You must connect the DUT and the test equipment to the same AC power circuit. Connect the 
DUT and test instruments into a common power strip if you are unsure of the AC power circuit 
distribution. Connecting the DUT and test instruments into separate AC power circuits can result 
in offset voltages between the equipment, which can invalidate this performance verification 
procedure. 
  The AC power source for the DUT must match the voltage selector switch setting located on the 
bottom of the DUT. 
DUT voltage selector switch   
Some procedures use hazardous voltages. To prevent electrical shock, always power off 
instruments before touching exposed circuitry. Read and follow the precautions in the Safety 
Precaution (on page 1-1).
