Installation / Setup
The installation/setup highlights for the Model 1506 Regulated Multiple Output AC/DC Power Supply include the following key points:
1. Grounding: The instrument chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground to minimize shock hazards. This is achieved through the ground conductor of the supplied three-conductor AC power cable, which must be plugged into an approved three-conductor electrical outlet.
2. Electrical Safety: Ensure the power cord is disconnected before removing covers or servicing the instrument. Dangerous voltages may still exist even with the power cable removed.
3. Voltage Check: Before connecting the line cord to the AC mains, verify the rear panel AC line voltage indicator to prevent damage to the AC line fuses.
4. ESD Precautions: Handle, store, and transport parts and subassemblies with care to avoid damage from electro-static discharge (ESD).
5. Operating Environment: The device should be operated in an environment with a temperature range of 5 °C to 35 °C and stored in conditions ranging from -5 °C to +45 °C with a humidity range of 0-80% R.H.
6. Pollution Degree: The instrument is rated for Pollution Degree 2 environments.
These precautions and setup instructions are essential for the safe and effective operation of the power supply.
Operation
Plug model 1506 into AC outlet. Turn power switch on, power light will come on. Adjust control knob to desired voltage. To view output current, set switch to A position. If unit overloads, reset by pressing reset button on front panel.
