Safety Considerations
WARNING
Read the information below before using this instrument.
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards for design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument. Keysight
Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.
– BEFORE APPLYING POWER
Verify that the correct fuse is installed. See “Fuse Information” in the
E36200 Series User’s Guide for additional details. Ensure the mains
supply voltage fluctuation do not exceed ±10% of the nominal supply
voltage.
– GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
This product is a Safety Class I instrument (provided with a protective
earth terminal). To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and
cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The instrument 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. If
the instrument is to be energized via an external autotransformer for
voltage reduction, be certain that the autotransformer common terminal
is connected to the neutral (earthed pole) of the AC power lines (supply
mains).
– DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE OR WET
ENVIRONMENTS
Do not operate the device around flammable gases or fumes, vapor, or
wet environments.
4Keysight E36200 Series Service Guide
WARNING
– DO NOT OPERATE DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE INSTRUMENTS
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made
inoperative and secured against unintended operation until they can be
repaired by qualified service personnel.
– 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 a Keysight Technologies Sales and
Service Office for service and repair to ensure that safety features are
maintained. To contact Keysight for sales and technical support, refer to
the support links on the following Keysight website: www.keysight.com/
find/assist (worldwide contact information for repair and service).
– USE THE POWER CORD PROVIDED
Use the device with the power cord provided with the shipment.
– USE THE DEVICE AS SPECIFIED
If the device is used in a manner not specified by manufacturer, the
device protection may be impaired.
– DO NOT BLOCK VENTILATION HOLES
Keysight E36200 Series Service Guide5
Do not block any of the ventilation holes of the device.
– OBSERVE ALL DEVICE MARKINGS BEFORE CONNECTING TO DEVICE
Observe all markings on the device before connecting any wiring to the
device.
– TURN DEVICE OFF BEFORE CONNECTING TO OUTPUT TERMINALS
Turn off the device power before connecting to the output terminals.
– ENSURE COVER IS SECURED IN PLACE
Do not operate the device with the cover removed or loosened.
WARNING
– TURN DEVICE OFF AND REMOVE ALL CONNECTIONS BEFORE
CAUTION
NOTE
INSTALLING THE GPIB INTERFACE
Turn off the power and remove all connections, including the power cord,
from the instrument prior installation of the GPIB interface.
– ENSURE PROPER AWG CABLE IS USED
Use a cable with the correct voltage and AWG rating based on the
intended setup when operating the E36200A Series autoranging DC
power supplies.
– DO NOT TOUCH CABLES DURING OPERATION
Do not touch the cable while the instrument output is operational to
prevent electric shock hazard and burn hazard.
CLEAN WITH SLIGHTLY DAMPENED CLOTH
Clean the outside of the instrument with a soft, lint-free, slightly dampened
cloth. Do not use detergent, volatile liquids, or chemical solvents.
CONNECT USB CABLE WITH FERRITE CORE
Connect a USB cable with a ferrite core to the rear panel USB port of the
instrument for better performance.

General Information
Types of service available
If your instrument fails during the warranty period, Keysight Technologies will
repair or replace it under the terms of your warranty. After your warranty expires,
Keysight offers repair services at competitive prices. You also have the option to
purchase a service contract that extends the coverage after the standard warranty
expires.
Obtaining repair service (worldwide)
To obtain service for your instrument, contact your nearest Keysight Technologies
Service Center. They will arrange to have your unit repaired or replaced, and can
provide warranty or repair–cost information where applicable. Ask the Keysight
Technologies Service Center for shipping instructions, including what
components to ship. Keysight recommends that you retain the original shipping
carton for return shipments.
Repackaging for shipment
Ensure the following to ship the unit to Keysight for service or repair:
– Attach a tag to the unit identifying the owner and indicating the required
service or repair. Include the model number and full serial number.
– Place the unit in its original container with appropriate packaging material.
– Secure the container with strong tape or metal bands.
14Keysight E36200 Series Service Guide
– If the original shipping container is unavailable, use a container that will ensure
at least 10 cm (4 in.) of compressible packaging material around the entire
instrument. Use static-free packaging materials.
Keysight suggests that you always insure your shipments.
Cleaning and handling
Cleaning
To prevent electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from AC mains power and
disconnect all test leads before cleaning. Clean the outside of the instrument
using a soft, lint-free, cloth slightly dampened with water.
– Do not use detergent or solvents.
– Do not attempt to clean internally.
If required, contact a Keysight Technologies Sales and Service office to arrange
for proper cleaning to ensure that safety features and performance are
maintained.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions
Service and Maintenance1
Almost all electrical components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) during handling. Component damage can occur at electrostatic discharge
voltages as low as 50 V.
The following guidelines will help prevent ESD damage during service operations:
– Disassemble instruments only in a static-free work area.
– Use a conductive work area to reduce static charges.
– Use a conductive wrist strap to reduce static charge accumulation.
– Minimize handling.
– Keep replacement parts in original static-free packaging.
– Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials
from the immediate work area.
Keysight E36200 Series Service Guide15
1Service and Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Before troubleshooting or repairing the instrument, make sure the failure is in the
instrument rather than any external connections. Also make sure that the
instrument was accurately calibrated within the last year (see “Calibration
Adjustment Procedures” on page 82 and “Calibration interval” on page 82 for
details).
Perform the following verifications if the unit is inoperative:
– Verify that the ac power cord is connected to the power supply.
– Verify that the front-panel power switch is depressed.
Self-Test Procedures
A power-on self-test occurs automatically when you turn on the power supply.
This limited test assures you that the power supply is operational.
Refer to the E36200 Series User’s Guide for more information on how to run a
complete self-test of the power supply (Chapter 2, “General Operating Information” > Utilities Menu - Test/Setup > Self-Test).
Replacing the Fuse
The fuse is located within the power supply's fuse-holder assembly on the rear
panel. Refer to the E36200 Series User’s Guide for more information on how to
replace a faulty or blown fuse (Chapter 1, “Product Information” > Fuse Information).

Battery Replacement
SHOCKHAZARD
Only qualified, service-trained personnel who are aware of the hazards
involved should remove instrument covers. Always d isconnect the power
cable and any external circuits before removing the instrument cover.Some
circuits are active and have power for a short time even when the power
switch is turned off.
The internal battery powers the real-time clock. The primary function of the clock
it to provide a time stamp for the internal file system. If the battery fails, the clock
and time stamp function will not be available. No other instrument functions are
affected.
Under normal use at room temperature, the lithium battery has a life expectancy
between seven and ten years. Note that battery life will be reduced if the
instrument is stored for a prolonged period at temperatures above 40 degrees
Celsius.
