Preparing the Power Supply

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.
