CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
Check AC Power line voltage and power cord connection.
Check the MODE switch. Output will only be on while in CONST I or
CONST P modes.
Check the interlock feature. If interlock is enabled, there must be a
short between pins 1 and 2 of J105 to have output.
Check the OUTPUT switch. The LED should be lit.
Check the OPEN CKTindicator. If it is lit, there is an open in the output
circuit.
Check the current output control knob. Set it fully counter-clockwise
(CCW) for minimum output.
If CONST P mode is used, check the feedback gain setting (Section
2.3.11). Try turning the feedback GAIN controls down (CCW).
If CONST P mode is used, check the feedback connections. Try
reversing the polarity of the photodiode.
Check the interlock circuit. A broken circuit will reset the LDX-3412 to
the off state.
Check that the AC power cord connection is secure. Power drop-outs
may turn the OUTPUT off.
Check the AC line cord to make sure that it is well-connected.
