a. ensure cable connection to the
Source output does not have a
potential across the contacts,
contact INFICON
b. reversed polarity of
control voltage relative to
that accepted by the source
power supply
b. verify Source output polarity and
the required input polarity of the
source power supply, refer to the
instruction manual to reconfigure
