Perform the following steps to replace the line fuse:
1. Carefully grasp and squeeze together the locking tabs that secure the fuse carrier to the
fuse holder.
2. Pull out the fuse carrier, and replace the fuse with the type specified in Table 21-1.
CAUTION To prevent instrument damage, use only the fuse type specified in
Table 21-1.
3. Reinstall the fuse carrier.
If the power line fuse continues to blow, a circuit malfunction exists and must be corrected. Return
the unit to Keithley Instruments for repair.
Front panel tests
There are two front panel tests: one to test the functionality of the front panel keys and one to test
the display.
Keys test
The KEYS test lets you check the functionality of each front panel key. Perform the following steps
to run the KEYS test.
1. Press MENU > DISPLAY > TEST.
2. Select DISPLAY-TESTS, and press ENTER or the navigation wheel.
3. Select KEYS, and press ENTER or the navigation wheel to start the test. When a key is
pressed, the label name for that key will be displayed to indicate that it is functioning
properly. When the key is released, the message “No keys pressed” is displayed.
4. Pressing EXIT tests the EXIT key. However, the second consecutive press of EXIT aborts
the test and returns the instrument to the DISPLAY menu. Continue pressing EXIT to back
out of the menu structure.
Display Patterns test
The Display Patterns test lets you verify that each pixel and indicator in the vacuum fluorescent
display is working properly. Perform the following steps to run the display test:
1. Press MENU > DISPLAY > TEST.
2. Select DISPLAY-TESTS, and press ENTER or the navigation wheel.
3. Select DISPLAY_PATTERNS, and press ENTER or the navigation wheel to start the
display test. There are three parts to the display test. Each time ENTER or the navigation
wheel is pressed, the next part of the test sequence is selected. The three parts of the test
sequence are as follows:
