Power-On Checkout
The power-on test includes an automatic self-test that checks the internal
microprocessors and allows the user visually to check the display. You will
observe the following sequence on the display after pressing the front panel
power switch to on.
1 All segments of the display including all annunciators will turn on for about one
second.
To review the annunciators, hold down key as you turn on
the power supply .
2 The GPIB address or RS-232 message will then be displayed for about one
second.
The GPIB address is set to ‘‘5’’ when the power supply is shipped from the
factory for remote interface configuration. If this is not the first time the power
supply is turned on, a different interface (RS-232) or a different GPIB address
may appear.
See "Remote Interface Configuration" in chapter 3 starting on page 56 if you
need to change the remote interface configuration.

The power supply will go into the power-on / reset state; the output is disabled
(the
OFF
annunciator turns on); the 15V/7A range is selected (the
15V
