Calibration Overview

This section gives an overview of the calibration features of the power supply.

For more detailed discussion of the calibration procedures, see the

Service

Guide

.

Calibration Security

This feature allows you to enter a security code to prevent accidental or

unauthorized calibrations of the power supply. When you first receive your

power supply, it is secured. Before you can calibrate the power supply, you

must unsecure it by entering the correct security code.

The

security code

is set to “HP003632”

when the power supply is shipped

from the factory

. The security code is stored in

non-volatile

memory, and

does not

change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.

• To secure the power supply from the

remote interface

, the security code

may contain up to 12 alphanumeric characters as shown below. The first

character

must be a letter

, but the remaining characters can be letters or

numbers. You do not have to use all 12 characters but the first character

must always be a

letter

.

A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (

12 characters

)

• To secure the power supply from the

remote interface

so that it can be

unsecured from the front panel, use the eight-character format shown

below. The first two characters must be “H P” and the remaining characters

must be numbers. Only the last six characters are recognized from the front

panel, but all eight characters are required.

To unsecure the power supply

from the front panel, omit the “H P” and enter the remaining numbers as

shown on the following pages.

H P _ _ _ _ _ _ (

8 characters

)

If you forget your security code, you can disable the security feature by

adding a jumper inside the power supply, and then entering a new code.
