Safety Symbols
The following safety symbols are used throughout this manual. Familiarize yourself with each
of the symbols and its meaning before operating this instrument.
Caution The caution sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure which,
if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to or
destruction of the instrument. Do not proceed beyond a caution sign until the
u indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
Warning The warning sign denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure which,
if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of life.
Do not proceed beyond a warning sign until the indicated conditions are fully
Q understood and met.
General Safety Considerations
Warning Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been properly grounded
through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a socket outlet
provided with protective earth contact.
9
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or outside
the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal can result in
personal injury.
Warning There are many points in the instrument which can, if contacted, cause personal
injury. Be extremely careful.
Any adjustments or service procedures that require operation of the instrument
with protective covers removed should be performed only by trained service
personnel.
Caution Before this instrument is switched on, make sure its primary power circuitry
has been adapted to the voltage of the ac power source.
Failure to set the ac power input to the correct voltage could cause damage to
the instrument when the ac power cable is plugged in.

Printed Circuit Board Edge Connector Contact Cleaning
Materials
w Lint-free cloth or equivalent (HP Part Number 9310-0039, Check Digit 3).
w Solution of 80% electronics-grade isopropyl alcohol and 20% water.
w Static-free work station.
Procedure
1. Dampen the cloth with the alcohol and water solution and scrub the edge connector
contacts vigorously, using a circular motion. Polish one side of the board at a time until
the contacts shine, keeping the cloth damp to dissolve contaminants and reduce static
electricity.
General Information 3
2. Using a clean cloth, dry the contacts by wiping from their inside to outside edge. This
prevents particles from building up on the contact edges.
Caution Do not use erasers to clean the edge connectors. They cause microscopic
damage to the contact surface, removing the thin gold plating and exposing
the nickel underplating, which eventually corrodes. Erasers also leave a film on
9 the contact and generate static electricity.
Do not use paper of any kind to clean the edge connector contacts. Paper or
lint particles left on the edge contact surface can cause intermittent electrical
connections.
Do not touch contact or trace surfaces with bare hands. Always handle the
board by its edges.
HP-IB Address Selection
The HP-IB address for the HP 8566B is preset at the factory by means of a five-segment
binary switch located on the Al5 Controller Assembly. This switch is set to the binary
number 11111 which corresponds to a decimal equivalent of 31. The number 31 is a special
instruction code that commands the instrument to use the last input address stored in
memory. This stored HP-IB address is ASCII 2R (decimal 18) and determines the address to
l
be used on "power up."
The HP-IB address may be changed to any of the addresses listed in Table 2 by resetting the
HP-IB address switch to correspond to the binary equivalent of the desired ASCII character
or decimal value as indicated in the table. The five-segment switch is illustrated in Figure 1
and is shown in its preset position (decimal 31).

The HP-IB address may also be changed from the front panel or programmed via a controller
using a special shift key function (KSP). This address remains in effect as long as the
instrument memory has power from either the ac line or the internal battery. However, if
this stored address is lost, the default address is the factory preset decimal 18 (ASCII 2R).
For additional information on the HP-IB address, refer to the Operating and Programming
Manual.
