which allows the cycle to be stopped or resumed. The pause menu allows the user to use the
current encoder to select between “End” (stop the cycle) or “Cont” (resume the cycle). With the
desired action selected on the pause menu (“End” or “Cont”) pressing the OPER/STBY switch
takes the selected action. See
6.9.Cycle Pause/Resume using the OPER/STBY Switch
information regarding the pause and resume functions.
The operate state can be restored after power is cycled, see

.
NOTE:
The operate control digital input and the host port can also change the operate state. See
8: Remote Operate/Standby Control
and for details regarding these other methods of
operate/standby control.
NOTE:
The operate switch can be disabled to prevent changing the operate state from the front

6.1.6. Remote / Local Switch
This switch toggles between local control (RMT lamp off) and remote control (RMT lamp on). In
local control mode the front panel is used to control the supply. In remote control mode the power
supply can be controlled by the analog control interface or by the serial host port (depending on
the configuration of the supply, see
6.3.3.Remote Control Configuration
). When the supply is in
remote control mode host communications are indicated by flashing the remote lamp. The
remote/local state is maintained through a power cycle.
NOTE:
When the unit is in remote control mode (RMT lamp is illuminated) settings (current and
voltage settings, cycle settings, and tolerance settings) cannot be adjusted from the front panel.
NOTE:
The remote switch can be disabled to prevent changing the remote/local state from the

6.1.7. Inhibit Lamp
The inhibit lamp is ON when the inhibit input is active. The output of the power supply is disabled
when the inhibit lamp is ON. The inhibit input is not available on all models. The remote operate
digital input can also be used to enable and disable power supply output.
6.1.8. Fault Lamp
When a fault is active the fault lamp is ON. When one or more faults are active the display will
alternate between an error code and the normal display value. Error codes can also be read
using the host port. Some faults will cause the output of the power supply to be disabled and will
prevent operate mode.
Most error codes will self clear when the error condition clears. However certain error codes
require manual clearing. An example of such an error code would be a power failure error code.
The power failure error code is set if the unit lost power while the supply was in operate mode and
the power failure alarm is enabled. When power returns the error code remains active until it is
manually cleared.
for a list of error codes. See
regarding the display and clearing of error codes.
6.1.9. Over Temperature Lamp
The over temperature lamp is on if the heat sink temperature reaches a shut down level. When a
shutdown level is reached the output of the supply is disabled (standby mode), and an error code
