5. Troubleshooting

Follow the actions described in this chapter to inspect the instrument and troubleshoot the problem if the FTP
series DC Power Supply does not operate normally. Contact Faithtech authorized agent or Faithtech after-sales if
the information provided in this manual does not resolve the problem.

Table 5-1 Fault Check

Problem

Possible Cause

Solution

Measurement accuracy is not
within SPEC.

Measurement swings due to
aged components.

Do calibration.

Output accuracy is not within
SPEC.

Output swings due to aged
components.

Do calibration

Overtemperature Protection
(OTP)

1. The ambient temperature
is too high.
1. Bad ventilation.
2. Fan damaged.

1. Operate the instrument within an ambient
temperature of 0 - 40°C.
2. Ensure the instrument is well ventilated.
3.

Contact Faithtech authorized agent or

4. Press

to clear protection state.

Overpower Protection (OPP)

The output power exceeds
the OPP setting.

1.

Decrease load or increase OPP setting.

2. Press

to clear protection state.

Overcurrent Protection (OCP)

The output current exceeds
the OCP setting.

1.

Decrease load or increase OCP setting.

2. Press

to clear protection state.

Overvoltage Protection (OVP)

The output voltage exceeds
the OVP setting.

1.

Decrease output voltage or increase OVP

setting.

2. Press

to clear protection state.

Overvoltage Protection (OCVP)

Remote V-sense compensate
voltage is too high

1.

Decrease voltage line loss

2. Press

to clear protection state.
