System messages
System messages inform you of internally detected errors. The following in-
forms are displayed, e.
g.:
Type of error (
x

)
Request for closing the system messages (
z
)
The error number allows the service shop to determine the type of error. In
the event of an system message, please write down the error number and
proceed according to the following steps.
Device Error
“Error number”
A system error was detected in the instrument.
1.
Please write down the error number and the corresponding instrument
settings.
2.
Contact your nearest Rohde & Schwarz representative (
). The instrument may have to be checked in
the service shop.
Overtemperature
Error
“Error number”
An impermissibly high temperature was detected in the instrument. The inter-
nal fans are switched to full power for approx. 30 seconds, and then the
R&S FS300 is automatically switched off to prevent further overheating.
The overtemperature could be caused by too high an ambient temperature
and/or reduced air circulation.
1.
Let the instrument cool off for a while and remove any obstructions that
could hinder air circulation.
2.
If this doesn't eliminate the overtemperature, have the instrument
checked by the service shop.
NOTE
Some errors can cause the instrument or parts of the instrument to be
switched off immediately in order to avoid destruction of components. When-
ever an system message occurs, an entry is made under SYSTEM MES-
SAGES ( 6-177).
