    What to do if Chroma Power Supply shows Over Temperature Protection (OTP)?
    • D
      David PageAug 17, 2025
      If your Chroma Power Supply displays an Over Temperature Protection (OTP) error, it could be due to two reasons: either the ambient temperature is too high, or the vent is blocked. To resolve this, first, ensure that you operate the instrument within a temperature range of 0 to 40°C. Second, check the vent and clear any blockage.

    What to do if Chroma Power Supply shows Over Current Protection (OCP)?
    • D
      Douglas DiazAug 19, 2025
      If your Chroma Power Supply is showing an Over Current Protection (OCP) error, it means the output current exceeds the specified limit or the OCP settings. The solution is to remove the overload or increase the OCP settings.

    Why is my Chroma Power Supply showing Input Error Protection 1 AC FAULT?
    • J
      Jacob Conway DVMAug 27, 2025
      The Chroma Power Supply shows 'Input Error Protection 1 AC FAULT' because the voltage of the AC input line is either too low or too high. To resolve this, measure the input voltage and adjust it if it exceeds the specified limits.

    How to fix D/D power stage error protection (D/D FAULT) on Chroma Power Supply?
    • J
      Javier MckayAug 30, 2025
      If the D/D FAULT protection is triggered on your Chroma Power Supply, it could be due to a transient current that is too big or the D/D power stage being damaged. When this occurs, first turn off the power supply and remove the load. Make sure the cables are connected correctly, then power it on again.

    What to do if Chroma Power Supply has no output voltage?
    • K
      Kelly WolfeSep 2, 2025
      If your Chroma Power Supply has no output voltage, it could be due to the output voltage feedback being abnormal or the D/D power stage being damaged. Consult with your local sales agent if it is unable to reset the protection state.

    How to fix Fan Fail Protection (FAN LOCK) on Chroma Power Supply?
    • D
      David Carter DDSSep 5, 2025
      If your Chroma Power Supply displays 'Fan Fail Protection (FAN LOCK)', it means that the fan is out of order or the feedback circuit is abnormal. Consult with your local sales agent if it is unable to reset the protection state.

    Why is Chroma Power Supply output not within Accuracy SPEC?
    • S
      Shannon AndersonSep 7, 2025
      The Chroma Power Supply output may not be within the accuracy specification due to feature swings caused by aged components. It requires periodic calibration. See section 3.2.4.4 Calibration.

    Why does Chroma Power Supply have bad measurement for V, I?
    • T
      Terry WellsSep 10, 2025
      The Chroma Power Supply might show bad measurements for Voltage (V) and Current (I) because of feature swings due to aged components. It needs calibration periodically. See section 3.2.4.4 Calibration.
