19.3.2 Power Source Shuts Down

CONDITION

POSSIBLE CAUSE, REMEDY

The power source shuts down when the EUT load is
applied

If the companion power source shuts down when the
EUT load is applied, it is very likely that the power
source is being severely overloaded. Any severe
overload will cause the 1251RP or the 5001iX to
immediately program itself to zero volts

The power source shuts down immediately when it is
programmed to the test voltage

Another possible cause of shutdown is a short circuit
in the EUT wiring or EUT load. Make sure neutral and
line wires don‟t form a short circuit.

19.3.3 Power Source Overload Light On

CONDITION

POSSIBLE CAUSE, REMEDY

Overload light on power source is on

When the overload light is on, the power source is
close to faulting or folding back the output voltage.

Adjust

EUT loading if possible to keep power source

within its ratings.

19.3.4 No Signal To PC Interface

CONDITION

POSSIBLE CAUSE, REMEDY

EUT is being driven properly and voltage and current is
present, but the CTS 3.0 Software GUI shows zero
current or zero voltage.

The PACS front panel power switch is not on. Turn on
switch, check ON LED.

The ½ Amp input fuse is open. Replace fuse.
