Preparing the Power Supply
E3632A User’s Guide 13
5 Check that the front- panel ammeter properly responds to
knob control for the 15 V/7 A range.
Set the knob to the current control, and turn the knob
clockwise or counter- clockwise when the display is in the
meter mode (the Limit annunciator is off). Check that the
ammeter responds to knob control and the voltmeter
indicates nearly zero (the voltmeter will show the voltage
drop caused by the test lead).
6 Ensure that the current can be adjusted from zero to the full
rated value.

Input power requirements
You can operate your power supply from a nominal 100 V,
115 V, or 230 V single phase AC power source at 47 Hz to
63 Hz. An indication on the rear panel shows the nominal
input voltage set for the power supply at the factory. If
necessary, you can change the power- line voltage setting
according to the instructions as shown in
“Power- line voltage
selection” on page 14.
Power-line cord
The power supply is shipped from the factory with a
power- line cord that has a plug appropriate for your
location. Contact the nearest Keysight Sales and Service
Office if the wrong power- line cord is included with your
power supply. Your power supply is equipped with a 3- wire
grounding type power cord where the third conductor is the
ground. The power supply is grounded only when the
power- line cord is plugged into an appropriate receptacle.
Do not operate your power supply without adequate cabinet
ground connection.

or left when setting the current.
