Selftest Diagnostics and Error Codes

When the instrument is powered up, the entire display lights.

Note

To hold the display fully lit, press and hold the Kkey, then press R ON and wait a moment for the instrument to beep. Then release K. The entire display will now stay on until you press any button; the power-up sequence then resumes.

Selftest diagnostics are performed each time the instrument is powered up. Any errors encountered during this initial 4-second period are displayed momentarily. Even in the presence of an error, the instrument still attempts to complete the selftest routine and begin normal operation.

An error indicates that a malfunction has occurred and maintenance is required. If you encounter an error, note the number or letter and consult Table 7-1. See if the instrument repeats the error. If the problem persists and you intend to repair the instrument yourself, refer to the Service Manual. Otherwise, package the instrument securely (using the original container if available.) Then forward the package, postage paid, to the nearest Fluke/Philips Service Center. Include a description of the problem. Fluke assumes no responsibility for damage in transit.

Performance Tests

When received, the 2635A Hydra Series II is calibrated and in operating condition. The following Performance Verification Procedures are provided for acceptance testing upon initial receipt or to verify correct instrument operation. All tests may be performed in sequence to verify overall operation, or the tests may be run independently.

If the instrument fails a performance test, calibration adjustment and/or repair is needed. To perform these tests, you will need a Fluke 5700A Multifunction Calibrator or equipment meeting the minimum specifications given in Table 7-2.
