GENERAL INFORMATION
Section I
1-2 This is on operoting and service manual far the Madel 6960 A DC Power Supply.
This manual is applicable only to instruments with the prefix number shown on the
title page except as modified by change sheets.
1-3 Instrument Identification
1-4 Hewlett-Packard instruments use a two-section, eight-cligit serial number, that
is, 000-00000. The first three digits are an identification number; the last five
digits are the instrument serial number. If the identification number on the instru-
ment daes not agree with the identification number shown on the manual title page,
there are differences between the manual and instrument. These differences are
described in manuol chonge sheets having the prooer identificotion number.
1-5 General Decription
1-6 The -hp- Model 6960A DC power supply produces a regulated DC voltage conti-
nuously adjustable from 0 to 36 V up to a current of 300 rnA, or from 0 to 18 V up
to a current of 600 rnA, according to which range has been selected by means of
the front panel push buttons. The supply makes load circuit performance idepencient
of external power supply influences, has very low source impedance and excellent
regulation against change in line and load.
This supply is especially useful as a source of power for transistor circuits because
it features a protective circuit which electronically li;"its the maximvm OUTput
