Wanted: HP6290A Power Supply Manual


Dave Haupt
 

I have an HP 6290A 0-40VDC, 3A power supply. For the
most part, it seems fully functional. However,
something is amiss in the metering circuitry. The
front panel meter mainly pins high or low. There's a
four-position selector on the front to select the
meter range as 5V, 50V, 4A or 0.4A. My suspicion is
that it's either the switch or something in a meter
amplifier circuit.

Ideally, I'd like a nice copy (electronic preferred)
of the service manual, but if I can get nothing more
than a usable schematic, I'd be a much happier camper
than today. Naturally, I'm willing to reimburse
reasonable copying, postage and handling fees.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Dave,

I have seen this problem before. The problem can generally be solved by cleaning the rotary switch.

I use a product called DeoxIT D5 from Caig laboratories



Relatively expensive, but a little squirt goes a long way.

This cleaner will remove oxides and sulphides from the silver plated contact. Most contact cleaners are alcohols that will blast away dirt and oils.
