Runtime Error Messages
Appendix C lists other error messages that may appear at runtime. If the front panel display shows
OVLD , this indicates that the output voltage or current is beyond the range of the meter readback
circuit. If the front panel display indicates -- -- -- -- -- -- , an GPIB measurement is in progress.
Line Fuse
If the dc source appears "dead" with a blank display and the fan not running, check your power source to
be certain line voltage is being supplied to the dc source. If the power source is normal, the dc source
fuse may be defective.
1. Turn off the front panel power switch and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the fuse from the rear panel.
3. If the fuse is defective, replace it with a fuse of the same type (see "Input Connections" in chapter 3).
4. Turn on the dc source and check the operation.
NOTE:
If the dc source has a defective fuse, replace it only once. If it fails again, the dc source
requires service.
