Performance Verification
1-8
Voltage limit accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2510 voltage limit accuracy is within specified
limits. The test involves setting the voltage limit to a specific value and making sure the output
voltage is limited to the required value.
1.
With the power off, connect the digital multimeter to the Model 2510 OUTPUT termi-
nals, as shown in Figure 1-1.
2.
Turn on the Model 2510 and the DMM, and allow them to warm up for one hour.
3.
Select the multimeter DC voltage measuring function, and set the unit to the 20V range.
4.
Press the Model 2510 V key to select the voltage function.
5.
Using the EDIT keys, adjust the Model 2510 voltage setpoint to +10.000V.
6.
Press CONFIG then V, select PROTECTION, then set the voltage limit to 9.00V.
7.
Turn the source output on.
8.
Verify that the “VLIM” message is displayed, then note the DMM voltage reading.
9.
Verify that the voltage measured in step 8 is within 8.55 to 9.45V limits.
10.
Turn off the output when the test is completed.
Current accuracy
Output current accuracy
Follow the steps below to verify that Model 2510 output current accuracy is within specified
limits. The test involves setting the output current to a specific value and measuring the current
using a 1
Ω
resistor and a digital multimeter.
1.
With the power off, connect the digital multimeter and 1
Ω
resistor to the Model 2510
OUTPUT terminals, as shown in Figure 1-2.
2.
Turn on the Model 2510 and the DMM, and allow them to warm up for one hour.
3.
Select the multimeter DC voltage measuring function, and set the unit to the 20V range.
4.
Press CONFIG then I, choose PROTECTION, then set the current limit to 5.00A.
5.
Press the Model 2510 I key to select the current function, and make sure the source out-
put is turned on.
6.
Using the EDIT keys, adjust the Model 2510 setpoint to e4.5000A. Compute
the current as follows: I = V/R, where V is the DMM voltage reading, and R is the char-
acterized value of the 1
Ω
resistor.
7.
Verify that the current calculated in step 6 is within 4.474 to 4.526A limits.
8.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for an output current of -4.5000A.
9.
Turn off the output when the test is completed.
