Setup Instructions
Power-Up Sequence:
1. Check to be sure the correct input line cord is used.
2. Connect the power input plug into its socket on the rear panel of the tester.
The SCI 290 series of testers has an automatic input voltage range selection.
3. Connect the male end of the plug to the grounded AC outlet.
4. Connect the Interlock Disable key to the Signal Input connector on the back panel of the tester. This is required in order to
run a test.
5. Turn on the POWER switch located on the lower left hand side of the front panel. Upon powering the tester up, a POWER ON
SELF TEST (POST) will automatically be performed. This test will check for the condition of the RAM chips, PCB’s and other
critical components. In addition the display will show the following message, with the actual model number and software
version number.
6. The tester will recall the last memory program that was active and the display will show the parameters that were
programmed into that memory. The tester is now ready for operation.
