WARNING Before the charger of the 85901A is switched on, make sure it
has been properly grounded through the protective conductor
of the ac power cable to a socket outlet provided with the
protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective
(grounding) conductor inside or outside the instrument, or
disconnection of the protective earth terminal, can result in
personal injury.
WARNING There are voltages at many points in the instrument which can,
if contacted, cause personal injury. Be extremely careful. Any
adjustments or service procedures that require operation of the
instrument with the protected covers removed should be
performed only by trained service personnel.
ii
WARNING ALWAYS assume that high voltage is present at the inverter
output and on the power cord adapters. NEVER rely on the
position of the inverter switch or charger switch or on the
front-panel LED indicators to determine if high voltage is
present. Never use a damaged power cord adapter. The inverter
output should be treated as cautiously as you would treat a line
voltage source.
WARNING When the high voltage output of the inverter is exposed, for
example when the 85901A is used in servicing some other
instrument, take extreme safety precautions as you would for
any high voltage exposure. ALWAYS disconnect all inverter
power cords before servicing the load unit. NEVER rely on the
position of the inverter switch or charger switch or on the
front-panel LED indicators to determine if high voltage is
present.
CAUTION Before an instrument is connected to the 85901A, verify that the line
voltage selector of the instrument to be connected is set to the same
voltage as the 85901A inverter output voltage. Failure to set the ac
power input to the correct voltage could cause damage to the
instrument.

voltage is within the charger input's voltage range.
The charger circuit of the 85901A requires a power source of 90 to 250
Vac, 47 to 66 Hz, single-phase. You do not need to select the correct
input voltage; the charger circuit automatically does so. Maximum
power consumption in the charging mode is approximately 122 VA.
Inverter Line Voltage and Fuse Selection
CAUTION Before turning the 85901A inverter switch on, verify that the connected
instrument's line voltage selection is set to the same voltage as the
85901A inverter output voltage.
The 85901A voltage selection switch selects the output voltage of the
inverter (115V or 230V).
The appropriate fuses are factory-installed for the instrument's
destination. Figure 2-2 illustrates replacement fuses, and Table 2-1
lists their ratings and part numbers.
CAUTION Before using the 85901A, check that the proper fuse for your line
voltage and selected inverter-output voltage is installed.

The internal battery for the 85901A is not installed when the
instrument is shipped from the factory. When unpacking the 85901A,
you will find a package containing two battery connectors in the main
container. You will also find two screws and two washers in the battery
container. These connectors and screws are used to install the internal
battery. You will need two screwdrivers, both slotted and Phillips.
WARNING This instrument is independent of the power mains. HIGH
VOLTAGE is present whenever the internal battery has been
installed and the inverter switch is on.
Connecting the battery may cause electrical arcing at the
terminal. Do not connect the battery in an explosive
atmosphere or near inflammable materials.
CAUTION The voltage ratings of the battery should be the same as the input
voltage range of the inverter. Verify that you are installing a battery of
the correct voltage rating.

Connecting External Battery
The 85901A AC Power Source can use an external battery by
connecting the external battery to the rear-panel terminal block. Car
and truck 12V batteries can be used for the external battery. Figure 2-4
shows the correct connections from the 85901A terminal block to the
external battery.
WARNING This instrument is independent of the power mains. HIGH
VOLTAGE is present whenever a 12 Vdc source has been
connected and the inverter switch is on.
Connecting the battery may cause electrical arcing at the
terminal. Do not connect the battery in an explosive
atmosphere or near inflammable materials.
NOTE When an external DC voltage source is used, voltage transients must
not exceed 14.5V or the Over Voltage Protection circuitry will shut the
inverter off.
Likewise, if an external charger is connected to an external battery,
voltage transients above 14.5V may turn the 85901A off. This may
happen, for example, when a car battery is used while the car's
alternator is operating.

The 85901A is equipped with a three-connector power cable.When
connected to an appropriate ac power receptacle, this cable grounds the
instrument cabinet.
WARNING The mains plug may only be inserted in a socket outlet
provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action
must not be negated by the use of an extension cord (power
cable) without a protective conductor (grounding). Grounding
one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not sufficient
protection. Various power cables are available to connect the
instrument to the types of ac power outlets unique to specific

Operation
Introduction
Introduction
This chapter provides operating instructions for the 85901A AC Power
Source. It also provides a brief description of the front- and rear-panel
features.
Upon receipt of the 85901A AC Power Source, perform the procedure
described under "Basic Operation Check" in this chapter. This check
should also be performed after the instrument has been repaired. LED
indicators, which represent the status of the battery, inverter, and
charger circuits, are located on the left-hand side of the front panel. See
Figure 3-1.
Front-Panel Features
LED indicators, which represent the status of the battery, inverter, and
charger circuits, are located on the left-hand side of the front panel. See
Figure 3-1.
The battery function area has two LEDs: the yellow LED indicates
whether the charger is on or off, and the red LED indicates the state of
the battery charger circuit. When the charger is operating, the red LED
will be on if the battery-charging current is greater than 0.45 A 0.15 A,
and it will be off if the battery-charging current is less than
0.45 A 0.15 A.
The inverter function area includes a yellow LED and the inverter
on/off switch. The LED should be on when the inverter switch is on and
the inverter is operating, and it should be off when the inverter is not
operating. The inverter will not operate while the battery charger is
operating.
During inverter operation, the red LED in the battery function area
also is used to indicate the stateofthe battery output voltage. When the
inverter is operating, the red LED will be off when battery voltage is
greater than 10.8 V typical, and it will blink (accompanied by a buzzer)
when battery voltage is less than 10.8 V typical.
The battery door occupies the remaining part of the front panel. This
door provides access for battery service.
