General errors

Meter does not react to

keystroke

Time is lost

Cause

Remedy

– Calibration interval expired

– Recalibrate the measuring

system

Cause

Remedy

– Test sample does not have the

correct temperature (max.

°C temperature difference from
calibration temperature)

– Adjust the temperature of the

test sample

Cause

Remedy

– Operating condition undefined

or EMC load unallowed

– Processor reset:

Press the

<On/Off>

and

<SC>

key simultaneously.

Cause

Remedy

– Buffer batteries empty

– Exchange buffer batteries
