-400
"Query error"
Unable to complete
query.
Check programming manual for
correct query format and parameters
-410 "Query
INTERRUPTED"
Query issued but
response not read.
Check application program for correct
flow. Response must be read after
each query to avoid this error.
-420 "Query
UNTERMINATED"
Query incomplete.
Check for terminator after query
command.
-430 "Query
DEADLOCKED"
Query cannot be
completed
Check application program for
multiple queries
-440 "Query
UNTERMINATED"
Query incomplete.
Check for terminator after query
command.
1
"Output volt fault"
Output voltage does
not match
programmed value.
Load exceeds current limit and unit is
in Constant Voltage (CV) mode of
operation. Reduce load or increase
CL setting
Output voltage is driven above
programmed voltage by external
influence (Load, voltage kickback,
etc.)
2
"Current limit fault"
Current limit
exceeded.
Load exceeds current limit and unit is
in Constant Voltage (CV) mode of
operation. Reduce load or increase
CL setting
3 "Temperature
fault"
Temperature of heat
sink too high.
Reduce load. Ensure proper air flow
and exhaust clearance. Check fan(s)
for operation.
4
"External sync. error"
Could not sync to
external sync signal.
External sync signal missing,
disconnected or out of range.
5
"Initial memory lost"
Power on settings
could not be recalled.
Save power on settings again to
overwrite old content.
6
"Limit memory lost"
Hardware
configuration settings
lost.
Contact CI service department at
to
obtain instructions on restoring
configuration data.
7
"System memory lost"
Memory corrupted.
Recycle power.
8 "Calibration
memory
lost"
Calibration data lost.
Contact CI service department at
to
obtain instructions on restoring
calibration data or recalibrate unit.
9
"Start angle must be
first sequence"
Start phase angle in
wrong place..
Start phase angles can only
programmed at the start of a transient
list. Once a transient is in progress,
phase angle cannot be changed.
10
"Illegal for DC"
Operation not
possible in DC mode.
Switch to AC or AC+DC mode.
11
"Duplicate sequence"
Transient list
sequence number
already used.
User new or available sequence
number instead.
12
"Too many sequence"
Number of transient
list steps exceeds
maximum.
Reduce the number of steps in the
transient list. (Max = 32 for Series I or
100 for Series II).
