To Next PageTo Next PageHow to troubleshoot a BIRD THRULINE 4022 power meter with no power?
If your BIRD Measuring Instruments power meter has no power, check the following: * Ensure the batteries are charged; if not, recharge them. * Verify the AC power cord is connected. * Make sure the ON/OFF rocker switch on the rear panel is set to ON. * If using a Cal Cart, confirm its AC power cord is connected. * Check the fuse rating and replace the fuse if it is blown.
What to do if the display of my BIRD THRULINE 4022 Measuring Instruments shows dashes moving across the screen?
If your BIRD Measuring Instruments power meter displays dashes moving across the screen, ensure the sensor cable is properly connected to both the power meter and the power sensor. If the cable is connected correctly, the cable might be defective, so replace it.
Why is the IEEE-488 Interface on my BIRD THRULINE 4022 not responding?
If the IEEE-488 Interface of your BIRD Measuring Instruments does not respond, verify that the address in the interface program matches the address setting on the DIP switches of the interface module. If they don't match, change either the program or the DIP switch setting to ensure they are the same. Check if the power meter fails the self-test. If it does, replace the I/O hub PCB. Also, verify the IEEE cable is not defective and replace it if necessary.
What to do if the RS-232 Interface on my BIRD THRULINE 4022 fails to respond?
If the RS-232 Interface of your BIRD Measuring Instruments does not respond and fails the J0 self-test command, ensure the DIP switches are set correctly. If the switches are correctly set, the RS-232 cable may be defective; replace it with a new one.
Why does my BIRD THRULINE 4022 power meter turn off while on battery power?
If your BIRD Measuring Instruments power meter turns off while on battery power, and the display shows “LO BAT”, recharge the battery. If “LO BAT” is not displayed, the meter should be returned for service.
What does it mean if my BIRD THRULINE 4022 power meter displays 'TALK' with RS-232 but doesn't operate correctly?
If, with the RS-232, the power meter displays “TALK” but does not operate as expected, verify that DIP switch 2 is set to ON for “talk/listen” operation or OFF for “talk always”. Also, ensure DIP switch 1 is set as indicated.
What should I do if the display on my BIRD Measuring Instruments is blank or not updating?
If the display of your BIRD Measuring Instruments is blank or not updating, and the batteries have not been charged, recharge the battery. If the batteries are charged, return the meter for service.
