Troubleshooting

If customer service is required

Should you require our Service, please advise us of

the catalog and serial number of your instrument.

You will find the pertinent information at the specifi-

cations, near the socket for the mains cable.
Moreover, it is helpful for our service representative

to know the software version

You can determine the

software version as follows:
1. Switch the instrument off
2. Switch the instrument on

For about 1 sec all displays read

Subsequently, the following readings will be dis-

played for 2 seconds each:
Software version key panel
Software version
NV-RAM version 1
NV-RAM-version 2

The values in the time display show the actual ver-

sion.
The last information displayed is the current cycle

status.

Cycle counter

The values given are only examples!

During the subsequent program test, the message

_ TEST PRO 9 ... 0 is displayed
