3.3 Connecting the Power Cord
Turning the Power Switch ON/OFF
Points to Check before Turning ON the Power
• Is the instrument properly installed? See section 3.2, “Installing the Instrument.” (page 3-2)
• Is the power cord properly connected? See section 3.3, “Connecting the Power
Cord.” (page 3-3)
Turning ON/OFF the Power Switch
Turn ON the power by depressing the power switch on the rear panel to the “ON (|)” side
and OFF by depressing it to the “OFF (O) side.”
Power Up Operation
When the power switch is turned ON, the instrument automatically starts a self-test. The
self-test takes approximately 30 seconds. Upon successful completion, the top menu of
the SETUP mode (
or
) appears or the instrument enters the
measurement mode (the instrument recalls the condition that existed when the power
was turned OFF).
To make a measurement, press the SETUP/MEAS key (SHIFT+R/% key) to switch to
the measurement mode.
If the Instrument Does Not Start Normary When the Power Is Turned On
If the instrument fails to power up as described or the top menu does not appear, turn
OFF the power switch and check the following points.
• Is the power cord securely connected?
• Is the correct voltage coming to the power outlet? See page 3-3.
• If the power switch is turned ON while pressing the SHIFT key, the setup parameters
are initialized to their factory default values. For details regarding initialization, see
section 6.3, “Initializing Setup Parameters” on page 6-7.
If the instrument still fails to power up after checking these points, contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer for repairs.
For Making Accurate Measurements
Allow the instrument to warm up for at least 30 minutes after turning ON the power switch.
Shut Down Operation
The setup parameters that exist immediately before the power switch is turned OFF are
stored in memory. The same is true when the power cord gets disconnected from the
outlet. The next time the power switch is turned ON, the instrument powers up using the
previous settings that existed immediately before the power was turned OFF.
Note
A lithium battery is used to retain the setup parameters. The battery has a limited lifetime. When
the lithium battery voltage falls below a certain level, a “901” error code is displayed on the screen
when the power switch is turned ON. When this error code appears, the battery must be
replaced quickly. The user cannot replace the battery. For battery replacement, contact your
nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
