General Information
About This Manual
This manual is designed to be used along with the Agilent 6050A/6051A Service Manual. It includes service information
that is specific to the 60501B/60502B Modules. Troubleshooting information such as fault isolation, signature analysis, and
block-level troubleshooting is the same for all modules and is found in the Agilent 6050A/6051A Electronic Load
Mainframe Service Manual. The mainframe Service Manual also explains how to safely disassemble and connect the
module to the mainframe for troubleshooting.
Typically, you will need to refer to this manual when you are performing the verification routines, locating a test point on
the component/test point diagram, referring to the schematics for additional troubleshooting information, and initializing the
module after replacing the EEPROM.
You will also need to refer to this manual for identifying and locating replaceable parts. The parts list identifies all
replaceable parts in the module, and the component/test point diagram identifies the location of all electrical parts in your
module.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Use extreme caution when troubleshooting the module when it is connected to the mainframe. AC mains
voltage is present on the exposed pins on the top edge of the mainframe GPIB board and each module
whenever the units are turned on.
Observe all standard antistatic procedures when handling the module assemblies to avoid the possibility
of electrostatic damage (refer to mainframe Service Manual) .
To reduce the risk of electrical shock when troubleshooting a defective module, make sure the GPIB board is installed in the
mainframe. Also, to make it easier to troubleshoot the module, connect the module to the GPIB board using an extender
service cable (P/N 06050-60030). This cable is included with the Service kit (P/N 06050-60004), which must be ordered
separately.
Manual Revisions
Agilent Technologies instruments are identified by a ten-character serial number such as US37240101. This manual was
written for Electronic Load Modules with serial numbers equal to and higher than those shown on the title page. If the serial
number of your module is higher than the one shown on the title page, then the module may have hardware or firmware
differences that are not covered in this manual. If there are such differences, they are documented in one or more Manual
Change sheets sent with this manual.
