Repair Agilent DSO-X 3012A Oscilloscope (Busted Power Supply)

Repair Agilent DSO-X 3012A Oscilloscope (Busted Power Supply)

Main guide: https://etoast.net/posts/agilent_repair/

Repairing the power supply is not very feasible.

BOM (Parts to Buy)

  • Power Supply: RPSG-160-12 [1x]
  • AC/DC Pins: SVH-21T-P1.1 [Need 8x, get 15x]
  • Signal Pins: SXH-001T-P0.6 [Need 3x, get 10x]
  • AC Input Housing: VHR-3N [Need 1x, get 2x]
  • 8-wide DC Output Housing: VHR-8N [Need 1x, get 2x]
  • Signal Housings: XHP-4 [Need 2x, get 4x]

Repair Plan

  1. Buy parts.
  2. Remove old power supply.
  3. Install new power supply.
  4. Wiring - Follow wiring diagram. Connect 3x GND, 3x +12V, and three extras (Neg Sense [-S] , Pos Sense [+S], PS_ON).
  5. Adjust voltage up to 13V with trim pot, maybe. Suggested by etoast.net article.
  6. Maybe: Wire the GND from the PS_ON to a GND on the scope supply. etoast.net article seemed to suggest they may be isolated.

Specs/Models

  • Scope Model: Agilent DSO-X 3012A

    • May work for all 3000 and 2000 scope models.
  • Original Power Supply: CCH0125F1-Z03A Rev A

    • Datasheet: https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/568839/LINEAGEPOWER/CCH0125F1-Z03A.html
    • 125 watts, 12 V
    • 3.00 x 5.00 x 1.25” (215.9mm x 125.7mm x 38.1mm)
    • Remote Sense (compensates for up to 250mV Drop)
    • Remote on/off Control (A low signal turns the power supply off)
    • AC FAIL: Signal is high when AC input voltage signal is within specified regulation.
    • DC Good (PS OK): Signal is High when DC output voltage is within regulation.

Assessment of Options

  • RPS-160-12 PSU vs. RPSG-160-12 PSU

    • The RPSG option has a "5vsb" (5V stand-by always-on) supply, whereas the RPS option does not have a standby. Standby not needed for this.
    • Forum discussion suggests that this stand-by is essential/important, so get the RPSG option. Worst case, just don't use it.
    • Datasheet seems to suggest that the "PS-ON" option is only on the RPSG model. Thus, we get it.
  • RPSG-160-12

    • Has standby power (5V).
    • Power on: PS-ON = "Hi". Power off: PS-ON = "Low"
    • Note: Datasheet pinout suggests it's a "PS-ON" inverted.
