Power Supply Check
NOTE
There are no fuses to replace within the power supply. If you determine
that the power supply is the failed assembly, replace the power supply.
Observing the LED on the front of the instrument, and measuring the
probe power connector, will determine if there is catastrophic failure in
the power supply assembly.
1. Ensure the instrument is plugged in with the power switch in the
2. Power on the instrument and verify that the green LED on the front

If all of these supplies seem dead, it is likely that the problem is a
defective A6 power supply assembly, or some other assembly is loading
down the A6 power supply. Continue with

If the correct LEDs are lit and the probe power voltages measure within
the specifications listed in the table below
power supply has not suffered a catastrophic failure; however, the
power supply could still be at fault. Continue with the next section to
measure the individual voltage supplies.
