Status Indicator Lights
Four LED status indicators are located directly above the mains circuit breaker. These LED’s correspond
to the following conditions:
REMOTE
The REMOTE LED indicates that the unit is in remote control mode.
If the IEEE-488 interface is used, this indicator will be lit whenever
the REM line (REMOTE ENABLE) line is asserted by the IEEE
controller. If the RS232, USB or LAN interface is used, the REMOTE
state can be enabled by the controller using the SYST:REM command.
Any time the REMOTE LED is lit, the front panel of the BPS Series
unit is disabled. There is no LOCAL button that allows the user to
regain control of the front panel. This prevents accidental change of
settings in ATE applications.
OVERLOAD
The OVERLOAD LED indicates an output overload condition. This
condition can be controlled by setting the current limit value in the
PROGRAM menu. Removing the load using the OUTPUT ON/OFF
button will recover from an overload condition.
OVER TEMPERATURE
The OVER TEMPERATURE LED indicates an overheating problem
inside the unit. This is an abnormal condition, which will cause the
unit to shut off. Check the air openings to make sure they are not
blocked.
HI RANGE
The HI RANGE LED is on when the high voltage output range has
been selected.
