RIGOL  Chapter 1 Test Overview 
DP800 Performance Verification Manual 
Test Preparations 
 
You need to finish the following preparations before performing the performance 
verification test. 
 
1.  Perform self-test to make sure that the instrument can work normally. 
 
Connect the instrument to AC power supply using the power cord provided with 
the accessories. Press the power switch key at the front panel; the instrument 
starts and performs self-test. You can press Utility  Test/Cal after power-on 
to examine the self-test information (including the top board, bottom board, fan 
and temperature). If the self-test fails, please turn off and then turn on the 
instrument to perform the self-test again and examine the self-test information. 
If the self-test still fails, please contact RIGOL. Make sure that the reason that 
results in the self-test failure are found and solved. Perform the performance 
verification test only after the instrument passes the self-test. 
 
Notes: 
 
  Before connecting the power, make sure that the setting of the voltage 
selector at the rear panel of the power supply matches the AC power supply 
to be connected and the fuse currently installed matches the input voltage. 
The input voltages supported by DP800 series and the matching fuses are 
as shown in the table below. 
 
DP831A/DP821A 
115 
100Vac ± 10%, 50Hz to 60Hz, T5A fuse 
115Vac ± 10%, 50Hz to 60Hz, T5A fuse 
230Vac ± 10% (maximum 250Vac), 50Hz to 60Hz, T2.5A fuse 
DP832A/DP832/DP811A 
115 
100Vac ± 10%, 50Hz to 60Hz, T6.3A fuse 
115Vac ± 10%, 50Hz to 60Hz, T6.3A fuse 
230Vac ± 10% (maximum 250Vac), 50Hz to 60Hz, T3.15A fuse 
 
Note: The upper limit of the input voltage supported by DP800 series is 
250Vac. 
 
  Before performing the self-test, make sure that there is no connection at 
the front and rear panel terminals of the power supply. 
 
2.  Make sure that the power supply is within the calibration period (1 year). If 
calibration is required, please contact RIGOL. 
 
3.  Run the instrument for at least 30 minutes.
