for any information relating to the cause.
• Check the Run Log for any messages that indicate the nature of the fail-

Power failures
If there is evidence of power to the instrument:
• Verify that the power plug is plugged into the socket and that the socket
is switched ON.
• Check whether the bridge cable is plugged in properly.
• Verify that the power switches on the rear of the instrument (adjacent
to the power lead) and on the side of the instrument are both switched
ON.
• Messages indicating that there has been a partial power failure indicate
that power has been lost to the heaters, but not to the main control elec-
tronics. Carry out the above steps to identify the nature of the problem.
