Page 2: Safety Summary
Safety Summary The following safety precautions apply to both operating and maintenance personnel and must be followed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. Before applying power to this instrument: Read and understand the safety and operational information in this manual. Apply all the listed safety precautions. - Page 3 Category II (CAT II): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected to the mains supply at a standard wall outlet or similar sources. Example measurement environments are portable tools and household appliances. Category III (CAT III): Measurement instruments whose measurement inputs are meant to be connected to the mains installation of a building.
- Page 4 Do not alter or defeat the ground connection. Without the safety ground connection, all accessible conductive parts (including control knobs) may provide an electric shock. Failure to use a properly-grounded approved outlet and the recommended three-conductor AC line power cable may result in injury or death. Unless otherwise stated, a ground connection on the instrument's front or rear panel is for a reference of potential only and is not to be used as a safety ground.
- Page 5 Measurements made by this instrument may be outside specifications if the instrument is used in non-office-type environments. Such environments may include rapid temperature or humidity changes, sunlight, vibration and/or mechanical shocks, acoustic noise, electrical noise, strong electric fields, or strong magnetic fields. Do not operate instrument if damaged If the instrument is damaged, appears to be damaged, or if any liquid, chemical, or other material gets on or inside the instrument, remove the instrument's power cord, remove the...
- Page 6 when the covers are removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect the power cord from the instrument, disconnect all other connections (for example, test leads, computer interface cables, etc.), discharge all circuits, and verify there are no hazardous voltages present on any conductors by measurements with a properly-operating voltage-sensing device before touching any internal parts.
- Page 7 Cooling fans This instrument contains one or more cooling fans. For continued safe operation of the instrument, the air inlet and exhaust openings for these fans must not be blocked nor must accumulated dust or other debris be allowed to reduce air flow. Maintain at least 25 mm clearance around the sides of the instrument that contain air inlet and exhaust ports.

Page 13: General Information
1 General Information 1.1 Product Overview B&K Precision models 9103 and 9104 are multi-range power supplies differing from conventional power supplies because voltage and current limits are varied to allow maximum rated power to be delivered at any operating point. Contrast this to a conventional power supply which has a maximum voltage and maximum current rating -- all operating points must fall inside these limits. -

Questions and answers
Hi, I have a BK Precision 9103 power supply. I want to be able to turn the power supply on/off and it should output default voltage and current without me having to press the output button on every power cycle. How do I do that? Thanks
The BK Precision 9103 power supply does not support automatic output activation at power-on without pressing the OUTPUT ON button. The output must be manually turned on by pressing the OUTPUT ON button after powering up.
