Handling Precautions
Read the Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
If you are using this instrument for the first time, make sure to thoroughly read “Safety
Precautions” given on pages vi and viii.
Do Not Remove the Case
Do not remove the case from the instrument. Some sections inside the instrument have
high voltages that are extremely dangerous. For internal inspection and adjustment,
contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
Unplug If Abnormal Behavior Occurs
If you notice smoke or unusual odors coming from the instrument, immediately turn OFF
the power and unplug the power cord. If these symptoms occur, contact your nearest
YOKOGAWA dealer.
Correct the Problem If Output Is Forcibly Turned OFF
If the GS610 detects an internal circuit error due to an excessive external input or
oscillation in the GS610, the GS610 forcibly turns OFF the output and displays an error.
If this happens, remove the cause of the problem such as the load connected externally,
and turn the output ON again. If the output still turns OFF after correcting the problem,
the GS610 may have malfunctioned. Contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer. Note
that the error display remains until you manually clear it (see section 11.5, “Error Log
Display”) or read the error information via communications even if the GS610 recovers.
Turn the Power Switch OFF If Overheat Is Detected
If the GS610 detects an overheat condition such as when the inlet or vent holes for the
cooling fan are obstructed or the fan is stopped, the GS610 forcibly turns the output OFF
and displays a “Temperature Abnormality” warning. If this happens, immediately turn
OFF the power switch. Provide adequate space around the GS610 or check and
remove foreign objects caught in the cooling fan on the rear panel. If the same warning
appears after waiting a substantial amount of time and you turn ON the power switch, the
GS610 may have malfunctioned. Contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
Do Not Damage the Power Cord
Nothing should be placed on top of the power cord. The power cord should also be kept
away from any heat sources. When unplugging the power cord from the outlet, never pull
by the cord itself. Always hold and pull by the plug. If the power cord is damaged, check
the part number indicated on page iii and purchase a replacement.
Turn the Power Switch OFF If Overload Is Detected
If the internal power supply is overloaded due to an excessive external input or internal
oscillation, the GS610 forcibly turns the output OFF and displays a “Circuit Protection”
warning. If this happens, immediately turn OFF the power switch. If the same warning
appears when you turn ON the power switch after removing the cause of the problem
such as the load connected externally, the GS610 may have malfunctioned. Contact
your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
