If an overtemperature condition occurs, turn off the instrument and allow it to cool for
30 minutes. You cannot turn the output on until the instrument cools down. Verify that there
is adequate ventilation. When you return power to the instrument, verify that the cooling fan
is running. If not, contact Keithley Instruments. Leaving the instrument turned on with the
failure message displayed or with an inoperative cooling fan may result in damage to the
instrument.
