SAFETY SUMMARY

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this mainframe. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this guide violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the mainframe. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements.

BEFORE APPLYING POWER.

Verify that the product is set to match the available line voltage and the correct fuse is installed.

GROUND THE MAINFRAME.

This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). To minimize shock hazard, the mainframe must be connected to an electrical ground. The mainframe must be connected to the ac power supply mains through a three-conductor power cable, with the third wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.

DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS.

Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified service personnel. Do not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power, discharge circuits and remove external voltage sources before touching components.

DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE.

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

DO NOT EXCEED INPUT RATINGS.

This mainframe is equipped with a power line filter to reduce electromagnetic interference and must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle to minimize electric shock hazard. Operation at line voltages or frequencies in excess of those stated on the line rating label may cause leakage currents in excess of 5.0 mA peak.

SAFETY SYMBOLS.

Instruction manual symbol: the product will be marked with this symbol when it is necessary for the user to refer to the instruction manual (refer to Table of Contents) .

Indicates hazardous voltages. Indicates earth (ground) terminal.

The WARNING sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

The CAUTION sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or destruction of part or all of the product. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION sign until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS OR MODIFY INSTRUMENT.

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to an Agilent Technologies Sales and Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

Mainframes that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured against unintended operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.

SAFETY SUMMARY (continued)

GENERAL: Any LEDs used in this product are Class 1 LEDs as per IEC 825-1. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:

This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution degree 2 environment. It is designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity of 95% and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters. Refer to the specifications tables for the ac mains voltage requirements and ambient operating temperature range.

Printing History

The current edition of this guide is indicated below. Reprints of this guide containing minor corrections and updates may have the same printing date. New editions are identified by a new printing date and, in some cases, by a new part number. A new edition incorporates all new or corrected material since the previous edition. Changes to the guide occurring between editions are covered by change sheets shipped with the guide. Also, if the serial number prefix of your mainframe is higher than those listed on the title page of this guide, then it may or may not include a change sheet. That is because even though the higher serial prefix indicates a design change, that change may not affect the content of the guide.

General Information

Introduction

This guide describes how to install the Agilent 66000A Modular Power System (MPS) Mainframe. It includes the following information:

■ specifications and operating characteristics

■ connecting the power cord to the mainframe

■ setting the address and frame switches

■ installing modules in the mainframe

■ mainframe rear panel connections

Mainframe turn-on and checkout procedures are included with the module manual since an installed module is required to properly check out mainframe operation. Refer to the module User’s Guide for more information.

Instrument Identification

The mainframe is identified by a two-part serial number, such as 3140A-01234, on the back of the unit. The first part, or prefix, is a number-letter combination that describes:

3140 The year and week of manufacture or last significant design change. Add 1960 to the first two

digits to determine the year. For example, 31=1991, 32=1992, etc. The last two digits specify the week of the year (40 = the 40th week).

A The letter indicates the country of manufacture, where A = USA.
