General Information 1-1
Mainframe Description
A mainframe is a device into which plug-in modules may be installed to create an instrument
in the modular measurement system. The HP 70001A mainframe provides the structural
environment for plug-in instrument modules along with cooling, power, and digital
communication interface buses.
It can accommodate 1/8-, 1/4-, 3/8-, and 1/2-width modules, and has a maximum capacity of
eight 1/8-width modules.
Standard rack compatibility is provided, and bench-top use is facilitated with integral bails and
retracting handles.
The Hewlett-Packard Modular System Interface Bus (MSIB) supports high-speed digital
communication among instrument modules within a mainframe and among instruments
connected to the external MSIB loop.
Every module in a mainframe has access to the standard Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus
(HP-IB). This bus provides a path of communication among controllers, other HP-IB instruments
and individual modules.
The ac power input is switchable between several ranges.
90-132 Vac, 47|66 Hz
199-264 Vac, 47|66 Hz
103-132 Vac, 356|444 Hz (with Option 400)
The mainframe power supply processes the ac line power to produces regulated 40 kHz
ac power for the modules, 5 Vdc for the MSIB, dc power for the cooling fans and a TTL
compatible line syncronization signal.
The primary power output, 24.3 Vac (average voltage, not rms) at 40 kHz, provides up to 200
Watts of power.
Two fans provide cooling for both the mainframe and up to eight installed 1/8-width modules.
The cooling fans operate at variable speeds: they are slow at temperatures below 30 C,
increasing their speed linearly above 30 C to a maximum speed for temperatures above 55 C.
This provides adequate cooling over the permitted range of temperatures.
Mainframes with serial numbers 2704A01796 and lower may have single speed fans. A Fan
Speed modi cation kit can be ordered for these units. This modi cation will provide variable
speed fans, reducing fan noise about 3 dB at ambient temperatures below 30 C.
1-2 General Information

a letter are the serial number pre x, and the last ve digits are the sux. See Figure 1-1.
The pre x is coded for the date of the last con guration change and is the same for all
identical mainframes; a pre x break or change only occurs when a signi cant modi cation
is made to the product. The letter designates the country of origin. The sux is assigned
sequentially and is dierent for each mainframe.
Figure 1-1. Typical Serial Number Label
General Information 1-3
Manual Updating Supplement
A mainframe manufactured before or after this manual was printed may have a serial
number pre x other than that listed under \Serial Numbers" on the manual title page. A
lower serial-number pre x means that all current changes may not have been made to
this mainframe. A higher serial-number pre x means that changes have been made to the
mainframe since the manual was printed. These changes are documented in the Manual
Updating Supplement for this manual. The Manual Updating Supplement may also contain
information for correcting errors in the manual. To keep the manual as current and accurate as
possible, periodically request the latest Manual Updating Supplement for this manual from your

Installation
This chapter contains information needed to prepare a mainframe for use, and describes how
instrument modules are installed to con gure the HP 70001A Mainframe into an HP 70000
Series system.
The information presented is general in nature. For more detailed information on con guration
and HP-MSIB addressing, refer to the installation and veri cation manual for the system master
(e.g., HP 70900A Local Oscillator).
The HP 70001A mainframe is a rugged structure into which modules of various widths
can be placed. It provides power, cooling, and a suitable environment for electromagnetic
compatibility for the modules, and manages all digital communications among the system
elements. LED fault indicators, on the lower front-panel, report mainframe or module
problems. For speci c LED fault indicator information, refer to Chapter 5 of this manual.
Unpacking
Inspect the shipping container for damage. If the container or cushioning material is damaged,
check the contents of the shipment both mechanically and electrically. If the contents are
damaged or defective, contact your nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Oce. A list
of oces is included in Chapter 1 of this manual. Hewlett-Packard will arrange for repair or
replacement of the damaged or defective equipment without waiting for a claim settlement.
Keep the shipping materials for the carrier's inspection.

Preparation for Use
Line Voltage Selector
Set the line voltage selector to the setting corresponding to the power source used. Access to
this switch is provided through a hole in the left-front bottom cover. Refer to Figure 2-1 for an
illustration of the line voltage selector.
WARNING Before turning this instrument on, make sure it is grounded through the
protective conductor of the ac power cable to a socket outlet provided
with protective earth contact. Any interruption of the protective
(grounding) conductor inside or outside the instrument, or disconnection
of the protective earth terminal, can result in personal injury.
CAUTION Before turning this instrument on, make sure the line voltage selector is set to
the voltage of the ac power source.
115 V position for 90 to 132 Vac line input voltages
230 V position for 198 to 264 Vac line input voltages
Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause one of two
things to happen when power is applied.
If the switch is set to 115 V and the instrument is connected to 230 V, the
fuse will blow.
If the switch is set to 230 V and the instrument is connected to 115 V, the
instrument will not turn on and the VOLTnTEMP fault indicator will light.

2-2 Installation
400 Hz Option
The HP 70001A Mainframe is available with an option that allows it to operate on a power-line
frequency of 400 Hz. The 400 Hz option comes with an external in-line 600 V-A isolation
transformer that must be used when the instrument uses a 400 Hz power source.
WARNING Never operate a 400 Hz option instrument on a 400 Hz power line without
using the in-line isolation transformer supplied for this purpose. Failure
to follow this precaution can create a shock hazard which may result in
personal injury.
The in-line isolation transformer must be removed from the 400 Hz option for 50/60 Hz power
source operation. Failure to remove the in-line 400 Hz transformer will result in the 400 Hz
transformer input fuse. When the isolation transformer is removed, a standard power cord
must be used. The in-line transformer must be reinstalled when using a 400 Hz power source,
in order to protect the user from electric shock hazard.
Fuse Replacement
The line fuse for this instrument is located inside the power cord receptacle housing on the
back of the instrument. Also included in this housing is a spare fuse. The fuse is a 5 by 20 mm
fuse rated at 6.3 A, 250 V, HP part number 2110-0703. Refer to Figure 2-2 for fuse removal
and replacement.

Installation 2-3
Cabling
The HP-MSIB cables are connected in a serial (daisy-chain) manner, coupling the input of one
element to the output of next until the loop is completed.
Remote Operation
The use of long HP-MSIB cables to separate the mainframe and display, or other products
supporting HP-MSIB, allows remote operation. Since the signals on the HP-MSIB are digital,
only measurement speed is slightly degraded.
Addressing
The HP 70001A Mainframe does not have an HP-MSIB address. The mainframe acts as an
HP-MSIB arbitrator, allocating time on the HP-MSIB bus to any module or device designed to
work with an HP 70000 Series system that requests it.
Adjustments
The HP 70001A Mainframe has only internal service-related adjustments. These adjustments
should only be attempted by quali ed technical personnel.

switch is o.
3. Slide the module into the mainframe.
4. Tighten the module latch using an 8 mm hex-balldriver.
5. Connect intermodule cabling.
Module Removal
The removal of modules is accomplished by following these steps.
1. Turn the mainframe o.
2. Disconnect intermodule cabling. Be sure to check the rear of the module.
3. Swing open the front door. (Power switch must be o.)
4. Loosen and disengage the module latch using an 8 mm hex-balldriver.
5. Slide the module out of the mainframe.
Note Care should be taken when installing and removing modules. The front panels
of adjacent modules can easily be scratched and dented if the module being
moved is not carefully guided into or out of its slot.
CAUTION Modules must be slid straight into and out of the mainframe slots or the sharp
edges of the module covers may contact and abrade the covers of adjacent
modules and mainframe guides.
If extreme environmental conditions exist where dust and debris may be drawn
into the air
ow and distributed throughout the instrument, a Frame-Fine
Filter (HP part number 70000-40017) can be ordered from the nearest HP Sales
and Service Oce.

Veri cation
This chapter normally contains unit performance-veri cation tests, which evaluate the
electrical performance of the unit against its speci cations. There are no performance-
veri cation tests that apply to the HP 70001A mainframe speci cations.
Power-On Self-Test
The act of turning on an HP 70000 Series system causes any modules installed in the system to
execute a power-on self-test. The mainframe is not involved in these tests except in supplying
power and communication for the modules.
For a detailed explanation of the power-on self-tests, refer to the \Troubleshooting" chapter of
the installation and veri cation manual for the system master.
Fault Indicators
The HP 70001A Mainframe has VOLT/TEMP, CURRENT, and I/O fault indicators. If any of these
indicate a fault, the condition must be cleared before the mainframe will operate. Refer to
Chapter 5, \Troubleshooting."
Veri cation 4-1

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides troubleshooting information on the HP 70001A mainframe. Problem
isolation and diagnosis related to the front-panel fault indicator lights, fan operation, fuse
replacement, and power-on light are discussed as operator-level repairs.
Turn On
When the HP 70001A as part of an HP 70000 Modular Measurement System is turned on, the
mainframe monitors its condition as it brings power and cooling air up to speci cation. Once
power and cooling is established, the modules begin their self-test sequences.
The power ON light should come on and stay on.
The VOLT/TEMP and I/O fault indicators should blink on and then turn o.
The CURRENT fault indicator should not light.
The fan noise will be noticeable.
During this self-test, the module ACT and ERR lights of all the modules in the instrument
will be turning on and o. After about a minute these lights should settle down to a steady
state.
After the module self-test is complete, the power ON indicator is the only mainframe light
that should remain on.
Note Some older models may have a fourth fault-indicator labeled AIR FLOW. This
indicator should not light. The circuitry for this function should be disabled.
Line Fuse
A 6.3 A, 250 V line fuse is located inside the power receptacle on the back of the instrument.
The most common reason for an open fuse is improper setting of the line voltage selector,
however, internal problems can also cause a fuse to open.
See Figure 2-2 for fuse removal and replacement information. Refer to the HP 70001A Service
Manual for troubleshooting information.
Troubleshooting 5-1
Fault Indicators
The HP 70001A has three fault indicators. While these indicators are located in the mainframe,
problems external to the mainframe can cause the indicators to turn on. External problems
should be investigated before troubleshooting the mainframe.
VOLT/TEMP If this fault indicator is on steady, check for the following problems before
deciding the mainframe needs repair.
Temperature Excessive ambient temperature, exceeding 55 C will cause the
limits VOLT/TEMP fault indicator to come on and stay on. Move
the mainframe to a cooler environment and wait for the
temperature to decrease to the normal operation range.1 When
the temperature decreases the mainframe will restart itself.
If the indicator goes out after the mainframe has cooled the
mainframe is probably not at fault.
If the problem persists; when the mainframe attempts to restart
itself, verify that both cooling fans are operating by checking
the air
ow into both of the rear-panel fan-intake openings of
the mainframe.
Low input If the line voltage is low or the voltage selector setting does not
voltage agree with the input voltage, the VOLT/TEMP fault indicator
will come on. Check the ac input voltage and set the voltage
selector switch as follows.
115 V position for 90|132 Vac line input voltage.
230 V position for 198|264 Vac line input voltage.
If the low voltage condition is corrected, the unit will restart
itself.
Note Very long ac wiring runs may cause the ac power voltage at the mainframe to
drop below an acceptable limit, when the mainframe applies its load to the ac
line. This will cause the mainframe to cycle on and o. No damage will occur
as a result. The cure is to correct the power wiring or voltage.
A
ashing VOLT/TEMP fault indicator can be caused by an
impedance mismatch between the ac line and the mainframe
input. This usually occurs only at extremely low temperatures
(below 0 C). The cold input thermistors (now a high impedance)
reduce the line voltage. An under voltage condition is sensed
and the mainframe shuts o. The reduced load allows the
sensed line voltage to rise and the unit turns back on.
1 Keep in mind that the internal temperature of the instrument will change with a
corresponding change in the ambient room temperature, and that there is a delay between
a change in ambient temperature and a change in internal temperature. It can take 20
minutes or more for an overheated mainframe to cool internally to an acceptable
temperature, since no cooling air is being moved by the fans when the supply is shut down.
5-2 Troubleshooting
This cycling will continue until the input thermistors warm up
to a point where the sensed voltage is within tolerance. At
this point the fault indicator stops
ashing, the mainframe is
operational.
If the condition does not go away after several minutes, check
the input line voltage under load or change the ambient
operating temperature.
High output These two conditions will also cause the the VOLT/TEMP fault
voltage and indicator to come on and the instrument will latch in a fault
Fan voltage condition. The mainframe is in need of internal repair or
failure adjustment. It will shut down and not attempt to restart until
ac line power is cycled.
CURRENT This circuitry senses and indicates if the load on the mainframe power supply
is too high. Upon sensing an over-current condition, the power supply is shut
down and latched. It will not attempt to restart until ac line power is cycled.
If a CURRENT fault indicator is on, check for a faulty module before
attempting to repair the mainframe. The following steps will help isolate the
problem.
1. Turn the mainframe o.
2. Remove all the modules from the mainframe.
3. Cycle the power. Is the CURRENT indicator still on?
NO Turn o the mainframe and one by one replace the modules (cycling
power each time) until the faulty module is identi ed. Refer to the
repair procedures in the installation and veri cation manual for the
system master or the service manual related to the faulty module for
repair alternatives.
YES If the CURRENT indicator is still on when all of the modules have
been removed from the mainframe, the mainframe probably has an
internal problem. Check to ensure that the grounding springs on the
50 pin module connectors are not shorting the 40 KHz to ground.
Refer to the HP 70001A Service Manual for additional troubleshooting
information.
Troubleshooting 5-3
I/O This circuitry senses the readiness of the external HP-MSIB. If the indicator is
on, HP-MSIB communications are inhibited. The I/O fault indicator light will be
on if one of the following conditions is true.
The external HP-MSIB loop is not complete. Check that both ends of all
HP-MSIB cables are securely connected.2
Not all the elements on the external HP-MSIB loop have the power
turned on. Verify that the power is on to all mainframes and stand-alone
instruments on the external HP-MSIB.
The mainframe is in need of repair.
HP-MSIB communication will resume as soon as the problem is corrected.
If an I/O light fault is indicated, the following steps will help isolate the
problem.
Disconnect both HP-MSIB cables from the mainframe at the mainframe
connectors. Is the I/O fault indicator still on?
NO The problem is either with the cables, or the element that was
connected to the mainframe with the cables.
Loop each cable \IN" to \OUT" to the mainframe HP-MSIB connectors.
If the I/O light comes on, that cable is faulty. If the light does not
come on for either cable, then the element connected with these
cables is faulty. Refer to the service manual for that element for
troubleshooting information.
YES The HP 70001A Mainframe or one of the installed modules is probably
faulty. Remove all the modules. Does the light still come on?
Yes The mainframe is faulty. Refer to the HP 70001A Service
Manual for troubleshooting information.
No Replace the modules one at a time until a faulty module or slot
is located. Try the module in a dierent slot. If the problem
only occurs in one slot the mainframe or connector is faulty. If
the problem follows the module the module is faulty. Refer to
the faulty module service manual for repair instructions.
Note It is possible that a module may disrupt all HP-MSIB communication with no
mainframe fault or no module error lamp turned on.
2 If more than one mainframe is used, or if other elements are connected to the HP-MSIB, all
cables must be connected otherwise; the HP-MSIB will not operate. If a single mainframe
with no external elements is used, there should be no HP-MSIB cables connected to the
external HP-MSIB connectors of that mainframe, although a single cable looped from the
input connector to the output connector will allow the mainframe to operate.
5-4 Troubleshooting
If problems persist, refer to the installation and veri cation manual for the system master or
the HP 70001A Service Manual for additional troubleshooting information.
Keep in mind that mainframe internal adjustments or repairs should only be attempted by
quali ed technical personnel. Review the \Hazards of Internal Repair or Adjustment" and
associated warning notice in Chapter 1, \General Information."
