Error message at power-on

Unit will not power-on

•See Chapter 2 of this manual for infor- mation on using the 801G* in the nor- mal operating mode.

•See the “Programming” chapter for information on setting-up and running the 801G* in the test sequence mode.

If any other messages appear, it will be be- cause one or more problems were found during the generator’s power-on self test.

•See "System Error Messages" in Chap- ter 8.

If the power light fails to come on when the power switch is turned on, first check your power connection and line voltage selection, then check the fuse.

•See "AC Line Connection" in Chapter 5.

Computer Interfacing

Information on troubleshooting problems related to the RS-232 and IEEE-488 ports can be found in the “Programming” chapter.

❖Please note that leaving any unused equipment connected to the 801G*’s ports may cause the front panel display and controls to hang. If this should happen, disconnect the equipment and cycle the power on the 801G*.
