Part two of the 6030 1,000 watt auto-ranging Agilent power supply. This is a newer version,
which has been introduced about 20 years ago for ease and better performance.
The next step in the process is to remove the top cover of the instrument. And the top cover
can be removed, and this information is shown in the manual, by removing the screws and the
handles from each side of the cover. And the inner cover is also removed by four screws
on the top and three screws on either side. And that cover is removed.
Now that your instrument is opened and you have access to all the electronics inside
the box, the GPIB board, which is shown here, can easily be removed by removing these two
cables, removing this cable that comes from the front panel, and removing two screws from
the rear. If this GPIB board or interface board is defective, the tested number that’s
available through Support Products Organization is 5063-3463. To complete the job, there are
two screws that need to be removed from the rear of the instrument that’ll allow you
to get the GPIB board out of the instrument.
At this point, there’s some interesting fact that needs to be addressed, and that
is if customers who have older revision boards with two board sets are not backwards and
forwards interchangeable. If you have a newer unit with the one board, that has more capability
than the old ones do. That was part of the reason for the change. The rear chassis has
to be changed if you were trying to put the new board into an older instrument. And the
bias transformer also needs to be replaced.
So Agilent was able to continue to support the older two-board set, as shown, and this
is in part one of the previous video. And the one board GPIB interface. When the board
or any other component in the instrument has been replaced, replace the inner cover and
put all the screws back in as you took them out. And replace the outer cover using the
proper hardware. And this information is also stated in the manual. And one thing very important
is that always working on these units, you do two important things.
Make sure that your AC line is unplugged from the wall and use ESD protection
while handling intricate circuits.
