How do I power-up the instrument?
Reference Refer to “Power-up” in Section 1 of the Series 2600 Reference Man-
ual 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 dis
-
played.
• 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
1
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, or 2612.
