General Information
Introduction
This guide describes how to install, check out, operate, and calibrate the Agilent Series 661xxA power modules used in the
Agilent 66000 Modular Power System. Programming the power module from the optional Agilent 66001A Keyboard is
described in Appendix B of this guide. Programming the power module over the GPIB bus is covered in the module
Programming Guide (see "Related Documents", below). Setting the GPIB address is described in the mainframe
Installation Guide. For complete verification procedures, see the module Service Guide (listed under "Related Documents",
below). The Agilent 66000A Modular Power System Product Note has specific application programs in several DOS-
compatible languages and GPIB interface drivers.

Safety Considerations
When properly installed in the mainframe, the power module is part of a subsystem that constitutes a Safety Class 1
instrument. The power module has a protective earth connection that is completed through a contact spring in the
mainframe backplane. When the power module is moved in and out of the mainframe, the earth ground connection is made
before ac power is connected and is removed after ac power is disconnected.
Instrument Identification
Agilent Technologies instruments are identified by a 10-digit serial number. The format is described as follows: 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.
Item Description
US The first two letters indicates the country of manufacture, where US = USA; MY = Malaysia; SG = Singapore.
3648 This is a code that identifies either the date of manufacture or the date of a significant design change.
0101 The last four digits are a unique number assigned to each power supply.
