Safety Considerations
The Model HP 8153A is a Class 1 instrument (that is
, an instrument with an
exposed metal chassis directly connected to earth via the power supply cable).
The symbol used to show a protective earth terminal in the instrument is .
Before operation, you should review the instrument and manual, including the
red safety page, for safety markings and instructions.You must follow these to
ensure safe operation and to maintain the instrument in safe condition.
Some HP 8153A circuits are powered whenever the instrument is connected to
the AC power source.To disconnect from the line power, disconnect the power
cord either at the rear power-inlet or at the AC line-power source (receptacle).
One of these must always be accessible. If the instrument is in a cabinet, it must
be disconnected from the line power by the system's line-power switch.
Warning
To avoid hazardous electrical shock, do not perform
electrical tests when there are signs of shipping damage to
any portion of the outer enclosure (covers, panels, etc.).
Line Power Requirements
The HP 8153A can operate from any single-phase A
C power source that supplies
between 100V and 240V at a frequency in the range from 40 to 60Hz. The
maximum power consumption is 55VA with all options installed.
The fuse used by this instrument is T1A / 250V (slow) (HP Part No. 2110-0007).
Changing the fuse should be carried out only by a qualied electrician or by HP
service personnel as it is necessary to open the instrument.
Line Power Cable
In accordance with international safety standards, this instrument has
a three-wire power cable. When connected to an appropriate AC power
receptacle, this cable earths the instrument cabinet. The type of power cable
shipped with each instrument depends on the country of destination. Refer to
Figure 0-1 for the part numbers of the power cables available.

Warning
To avoid the possibility of injury or death, you must
observe the following precautions before switching on the
instrument.
If this instrument is to be energized via an
autotransformer for voltage reduction, ensure that the
Common terminal connects to the earthed pole of the
power source.
Insert the power cable plug only into a socket outlet
provided with a protective earth contact. Do not negate
this protective action by the using an extension cord
without a protective conductor.
Before switching on the instrument, the protective
earth terminal of the instrument must be connected to a
protective conductor.You can do this by using the power
cord supplied with the instrument.
It is prohibited to interrupt the protective earth
connection intentionally.
iv
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

The following work should be carried out by a qualied electrician, and all local
electrical codes must be strictly observed. If the plug on the cable does not t
the power outlet, or if the cable is to be attached to a terminal block, cut the
cable at the plug end and rewire it.
The color coding used in the cable depends on the cable supplied. If you are
connecting a new plug, it should meet the local safety requirements and include
the following features:
Adequate load-carrying capacity (see table of specications).
Ground connection.
Cable clamp.
Operating Environment
Warning
The HP 8153A is not designed for outdoor use.To prevent
potential re or shock hazard, do not expose the HP 8153A
to rain or other excessive moisture.
Input/Output Signals
Caution
A maximum of 15V can be applied as an external voltage to any
of the BNC connectors.

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

onto the outside of the mainframe, in a position where they are
clearly visible to anyone using the instrument.
You MUST return instruments with malfunctioning laser boxes to a HP Service
Center for repair and calibration.
The laser module has built in safety circuitry that will disable the optical output
in the case of a fault condition.
Warning
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specied for the laser source
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning
Refer Servicing only to qualied and authorized personnel.
Warning
Do not enable the laser when there is no ber attached to
the optical output connector.
The optical output connector is at the bottom, on the laser
module front panel.
The laser is enabled by pressing the grey button above the
optical output connector on the front panel. The laser is
enabled when the green LED on the front panel of the laser
module is lit.
Warning
Under no circumstances look into the end of an optical
cable attached to the optical output when the device is
operational.
The laser radiation is not visible to the human eye, but it
can seriously damage your eyesight.
