General Information
Introduction
This manual contains instructions for installing, operating and troubleshooting the Agilent Model 59510A and 59511A
Relay Accessories. Each of these models is designed for use with the Agilent 6030A, 6032A, 6033A, and 6038A models in
the Agilent 603XA series of system power supplies. The Agilent 59510A and Agilent 59511A Relay Accessories can be
used with Agilent 603XA supplies that have the following serial numbers:
Agilent ModelSerial Numbers *
6030A2811A-00815 and above
6031A**2817A-00983 and above
6032A2818A-03121 and above
6033A2817A-03452 and above
6038A2817A-05426 and above
* Models with lower serial numbers can be modified to operate with the Agilent 595XA Relay Accessory. Consult Agilent
regarding a retrofit kit for these models.
**When the Agilent 5951XA Relay Accessory is to be used with the Agilent 6031A System DC Power Supply, care must be
taken to set the Agilent 6031A’s current limit to 60 A or less. The Agilent 6031A power supply is capable of delivering
an output current in excess of Agilent 5951XA’s rating of 60 A, which could cause damage to the Relay Accessory.
Wherever applicable, the instructions given in this manual refer to pertinent information provided in the Operating and
Service Manual for the appropriate Agilent 603XA power supply as follows:
The Relay Link Supplement, Appendix F (Agilent Part No. 5957-6388) to the above manuals, describes circuit changes to
the Agilent 603X supplies which allow use of the supplies with the Agilent 59510A/59511A. The Agilent 59510A/59511A
Relay Accessory has a logic control input (TTL levels) that allows it to be used with power supplies or devices other than
the supplies specified above. Instructions for using the logic control input in a general purpose configuration are given in
Section 3 of this manual.
Description (Figure 1-1)
The Agilent 59510A and 59511A Relay Accessories are intended for use in power supply applications where either or both
load isolation (connect/disconnect) and polarity reversal are required.
The Agilent 59510A Relay Accessory provides for load connect/disconnect for both the power output and sense leads of the
power supply. The Agilent 59511A Relay Accessory provides for polarity reversal as well as for load connect/disconnect
for both power output and sense leads. In addition, each model includes a fault (FLT) output line and a remote inhibit (INH)
input line. The FLT output line provides a fault reporting capability that is independent of the GPIB service request (SRQ)

function. The INH input line provides a way to remotely disconnect (also independent of GPIB computer control) the power
supply output.
Figure 1-lA shows the Agilent 59510A/59511A Relay Accessory configured with an Agilent 603XA power supply. A GPIB
interface in the Agilent 603XA power supply recognizes relay commands from the computer and provides serial data to the
Agilent 59510A/59511A via a special connection labeled RLY LINK. The Agilent 5951XA converts the serial data into
relay control signals.
The computer can control the connect/disconnect and polarity reversal (Agilent 59511A only) functions via the Agilent
603XA supply’s serial data link to the Agilent 59510A/59511A. The closing and opening of the relays in the Agilent
59510A/59511A can be coordinated with the enabling and disabling of the power supply output to allow switching the
relays when the power supply output is disabled in order to prolong relay life. The microprocessor within the Agilent
59510A/59511A Relay Accessory properly sequences the power and sense relays to minimize overshoots at the power
supply output.
Figure 1-lB shows the Agilent 59510A/59511A Relay Accessory configured in a general purpose application. This
configuration allows the Agilent 59510A/59511A to be used with power supplies or devices other than Agilent 603XA
power supplies. Logic control inputs are provided that allow TTL logic levels to control the connect/disconnect and polarity
reversal (Agilent 59511A) functions. The logic control inputs have pull-up resistors which allow them to accept signals from
relays or open-collector devices.
The Agilent 59510A/59511A Relay Accessory is designed to fit in a rack height of 5¼ inches and is approximately 7¼
inches wide and 8 inches deep. All necessary connections are made at the front panel.

Specifications
Table 1-1 lists the specifications for the Agilent 59510A/59511A Relay Accessories. The 603XA power supply
specifications are listed in the applicable manual (see page 1).
Safety Considerations
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument, which means that it is provided with a protective earth terminal. The instrument
and this manual should be reviewed for safety markings and instructions before operation. Refer to the Safety Summary
page at the beginning of this manual for a summary of general safety information. Safety information for specific procedures
is located at appropriate places in the manual.
The Agilent 5951XA Relay Accessory contains mercury displacement relays. Because mercury is a hazardous material,
defective relays must be disposed of properly (refer to page 38).
Agilent Technologies power supplies are designed to comply will the following regulatory standards: IEC 348, VDE 0411,
CSA 556B, VDE 0871/6.78 level B (FTZ 1046/84), UL1244.
Instrument and Manual Identification
Agilent Technologies instruments are identified by a 10-digit serial number. The first two letters indicate the country of
manufacture. The next four digits are a code that identify either the date of manufacture or of a significant design change.
The last four digits are a sequential number assigned to each instrument.
Older serial number formats used with these instruments had a two-part serial number, i.e. 2701A-00101. This manual also
applies to instruments with these older serial number formats.
If the serial number prefix on your Relay Accessory differs from that shown on the title page of this manual, a yellow
Manual Change sheet that is supplied with the manual defines the differences between your unit and the unit described in
this manual. The yellow change sheet may also contain information for correcting errors in the manual.
Options
850: One rack mount kit.
910: One extra operating and service manual shipped with each Relay Accessory.
W30: 2 year additional Return-to-Agilent Service.

Table 1-1. Agilent Model 59510A and 59511A Specifications
Operating Range: (Both Models)
Inductive Load: 10mH maximum
Note that switching of inductive loads places stresses on the
Agilent 5951XA power relay contacts which can
significantly degrade relay life. It is advisable to switch
these loads under low or zero output conditions, e.g. with
the power supply output disabled. In general, switching any
load under zero output conditions maximizes relay life.
For applications with > 10 mH inductance, consult
Agilent Technologies for applicability and safety.
Using the Agilent 5951XA relays to interrupt high
currents through highly inductive loads will cause
high levels of energy to discharge across the relay
contacts. The resulting rise in temperature and
pressure may cause a breach in the hermeticity of
the seals in the mercury-filled cylinders of the
power relays. Since mercury is a toxic substance,
this is a potentially hazardous condition.
Care should be taken in all applications not to
exceed the operating range specifications in order
to avoid compromising the reliability or the
physical integrity of the mercury-displacement
relays in the Agilent 5951XA.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE AGILENT

The Agilent 603X LINK, LOGIC CONTROL, and
INH signals on the control connector J101 are
referenced to the same common. This means that if
the Agilent 5951XA relay accessory is being used in
the Agilent 603XA configuration (see page 16), these
signals on the control connector J101 must be
restricted to ± 42Vdc from ground, in accordance
with the restrictions of the Agilent 603XA FLT/INH
port float voltage specification (refer to appropriate
Agilent 603XA Operating and Service Manual). The
FLT signal on J101 has its own common which may
float ± 42Vdc from the other; signal common on J101
and up to ± 240Vdc from ground. The LOGIC
CONTROL, INH, and FLT signals may be floated up
to ± 240Vdc from ground ONLY if they are not
driven by or driving signals of the FLT/INH port of
an Agilent Technologies instrument AND the Agilent
603X LINK signals are left disconnected.
As a general rule, if a connection is made from any
point on control connector J101 to any point or the
FLT/INH port of an Agilent Technologies instrument,
all signals on J101 must be restricted to no greaser
than ± 42Vdc from ground.
AC Input: A line select switch on the front panel permits
either 100/120Vac or 220/240Vac operation ( - 13%, +
6% 48-63 Hz).

returned to Agilent Technologies. Warranty information is printed on the inside cover of this manual. Your Agilent
Technologies Sales and Service office will furnish the address of the nearest service office to which the unit can be shipped.
Mounting
The Relay Accessory units utilize mercury displacement relays. Consequently, the units must be
vertically mounted (or oriented) to ensure proper operation and avoid damage to equipment (See Table
1-1 Specifications).
The Relay Accessory unit is convection cooled and can operate without loss of performance within the temperature range of
0 to 55 degrees C. If the unit is to be used on a bench or any flat surface, attach the four adhesive backed rubber feet to the
bottom of the Agilent 5951XA unit. The feet are shipped in a plastic bag along with two quick disconnect plugs and spare
fuses.
The unit can also be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack panel or enclosure. It can be rack mounted in either of two ways:
1. Drilling two holes in the mounting surface and using screws to engage the threaded inserts in the bottom of the Agilent
5951XA.
2. Using the Option 850 Rack Mounting Kit.
Ventilation holes are located on both sides of the Agilent 5951XA as well as in the back. Make sure that
the back and at least one side is left unobstructed. Failure to do so could cause overheating and damage.
10 Installation
Surface Mounting
The Agilent 5951XA can be mounted against surfaces by means of machine screws. There are two threaded inserts on the
bottom of the Agilent 5951XA (see Figure 2-1). The user must drill two holes in the surface against which the Agilent
5951XA is to be mounted and pass M4 screws (10 mm long) through these holes to engage the threaded inserts within the
Agilent 5951XA. Remember to keep the Agilent 5951XA oriented vertically (see Mounting Orientation in Table 1-1) for
proper operation.
Figure 2-1. Threaded Insert Locations for Surface Mounting
Option 850 Mounting
Rack mount kit Option 850 can be used to mount a single Agilent 5951XA unit on the left or right side of the rack as shown
in Figure 2-2. Two units can be mounted side by side in the rack using two Option 850 kits.
The Agilent 5951XA unit rests on the Option 850 rack as shown in Figure 2-2. Two threaded inserts, located on the bottom
of the Agilent 5951XA, line up with holes in the rack. Use two flat head M4 screws (10 mm long) to secure the unit in the
rack.
Installation 11
Figure 2-2. Option 850 Rack Mounting
Input Power Requirements
You can operate the unit from a nominal 100V, 120V, 220V, or 240V single phase power source at 48 to 63Hz. You can
check the line voltage setting of the unit by examining the LINE SELECT switch S101 setting (see Figure 2-3). You can
change the unit to accept 100, 120, 220, or 240Vac by setting S101 to the 100/120V or 220/240V position. The same rating
fuse (0.5A) is used for a 110,120, 220, or 240Vac input. The fuse, designated F1, is located inside the unit near the LINE
SELECT switch.
Note The Agilent 5951XA has no on/off switch. To turn the unit on/off, you must connect/disconnect the power
cord.
