To Prepare the Instrument for Use
1 Check the list of supplied items.
Verify that you have received the following items with your instrument. If
anything is missing, contact your nearest Keysight Technologies Sales Office.
– One power cord.
–One User’s Guide.
–This Service Guide.
–One Quick Reference Guide.
– Certificate of Calibration (if you ordered the internal DMM).
– BenchLink Data Logger 3 Software CD-ROM.
– Quick Start Package (if you ordered the internal DMM):
– One RS-232 cable.
– One J-type thermocouple and a flatblade screwdriver.
– Any plug-in modules that you ordered are delivered in a separate shipping
container.
2 Verify that the fuse on the back is set to the proper voltage range for your
AC power.
3 Connect the power cord and turn on the instrument.
The front-panel display will light up briefly while the instrument performs its
power-on self-test. The instrument initially powers up with all measurement
channels turned off. To review the power-on display with all annunciators
turned on, hold down
as you turn on the instrument. If the instrument
does not turn on properly, see page 41.
4 Perform a complete self-test.
The complete self-test performs a more extensive set of tests than those
performed at power-on. Hold down as you turn on the instrument and
hold down the key until you hear a long beep. The self-test will begin when
you release the key following the beep.
