4. Press “ENTER” and the unit will display the Program selection screen. Set the following
output parameters: output voltage = 150 volts, frequency = 60 Hz, voltage range = 150 volts,
and current limit = 20.0 amps (3001iX) or 33.3 amps (5001iX). Press “ENTER”.
5. Enable the output by pressing the output “on/off” button below the front panel display
screen. The green LED next to the button will light green when the output is on. The output
should be a clean 150 volt AC sinewave having less than 1% distortion.
6. Apply full load to the output of the source and verify the output remains within 2% of the
initial 150 volt value. The output should still be clean and the distortion should still be less
than 1% at 60 Hz.
7. Using the PROGRAM screen set the output current limit value to 17 amps. The system
should go into current limit. Return the current value to 20.0 amps (3001iX) or 33.3 amps
(5001iX) and press the output on/off button to turn the output off. Disconnect the load.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 but set the output for the following: output voltage = 300 volts,
output range = 300 volts, current limit = 10.0 amps (3001iX) or 16.7 amps (5001iX). For
step 7, the current limit value can be set to 8 amps.
In the unlikely event the power source does not pass the functional test, refer to the calibration
procedure in Section 6 or call California Instrument’s customer satisfaction department for
further assistance.
