Chapter 2 Initial Operation
Initial Operation
This chapter mainly focuses on three basic tests which should be performed before the
operation of the power supply: the preliminary checkout, the power-on checkout, and
the output checkout. The preliminary checkout is to check if the power supply could
run correctly. The power-on test includes a self-test that checks the internal
microprocessors and checks if the user are allowed to examine the display at the front
panel under the condition of applying power to the supply properly. The output check
ensures that the power supply develops its rated outputs and properly responds to
operation from the front panel.
In order to make sure the power supply is in accordance with
what is required and have a better command of power supply
features for later use, it is suggested that both the experienced
and the inexperienced users should read this chapter prior to
operation
Preliminary Checkout

AC power source at 47 to 63 Hz. There is an indication below the AC power inlet on
the rear panel showing the rated input voltage set for the power supply at the factory.
Power-Line Cord
The power supply is shipped from the factory with a power-line cord that has a plug
appropriate for your location. Please contact the nearest ARRAY Sales and Service
Office if the wrong power-line cord is included with your power supply. Your power
supply is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type power cord with a diameter of

properly only when the power-line cord is plugged into an appropriate receptacle. Do
not operate your power supply without adequate cabinet ground connection.
