Checking the output
The following procedures check to ensure that the power
supply develops its rated outputs and properly responds to
operation from the front panel. For complete performance
and verification tests, refer to the Service Guide
(E3632- 90010).
Voltage output check
The following steps verify the basic voltage functions with
no load.
1 Turn on the power supply.
The power supply will go into the power- on/reset state,
the output is disabled (the OFF annunciator turns on),
the 15 V/7 A range is selected (the 15V annunciator turns
on), and the knob is selected for voltage control.
2 Enable the outputs.
The OFF annunciator turns off and the 15V, OVP, OCP, and
CV annunciators are lit. The blinking digit can be adjusted
by turning the knob. Notice that the display is in the
meter mode. Meter mode means that the display shows
the actual output voltage and current.
If the power supply detects an error during power-on self-test, the ERROR
annunciator will turn on. Refer to Chapter 4, “Error Messages”.
For each step, use the keys shown on the left margins.
