How to fix Santec Measuring Instruments when there is no power?
If your Santec Measuring Instruments unit has no power, there are a couple of things to check: * First, make sure the power cord is properly connected. * Second, inspect the fuse. If there's no fuse or the fuse is blown, open the fuse box lid and replace it.
What to do if Santec Measuring Instruments has no light output?
If there is no light output from your Santec Measuring Instruments, consider the following: * Ensure the LD drive key is turned on by pressing the LD button. * Verify that the target output power is appropriately set and not too low. * Check if the internal shutter is closed and, if so, open it. * Confirm that the interlock circuit is not open; short the interlock circuit if it is. * Ensure that the connector surface is clean.
How to troubleshoot GP-IB communication issues with Santec Measuring Instruments?
If GP-IB communication is not possible with your Santec Measuring Instruments, check these items: 1. Verify that the GP-IB address is set correctly. 2. Check the delimiter setting to ensure it is correct. 3. Ensure the cable is properly connected.
Why is the optical output power too low on my Santec Measuring Instruments?
If the optical output power of your Santec Measuring Instruments is too low, check the following: * Ensure the attenuator is set properly. * Verify the surface of the connector is clean.
What to do if optical output power adjustment is not possible with Santec Measuring Instruments?
If you cannot adjust the optical output power on your Santec Measuring Instruments, it might be due to the following reasons: * The power control may be set to manual; switch to Auto control. * The power setting mode may not be selected; select the power setting mode.
What does “TempErr” mean on Santec Measuring Instruments when LD is on?
If “TempErr” is displayed on the screen of your Santec Measuring Instruments while the LD is illuminated, it could mean that the ambient temperature has exceeded the operating temperature range. Turn off LD output immediately. If the ambient temperature is not within the operating temperature range, turn LD output back on after the ambient temperature returns to within the operating temperature range. If “TempErr” continues to be displayed, please contact our office.
What does “TempErr” mean on Santec Measuring Instruments when LD output is OFF?
If “TempErr” is displayed on your Santec Measuring Instruments while LD output is OFF, it indicates that the LD output was automatically turned off because the LD temperature continued to rise due to abnormal LD temperature control. The ambient temperature may have exceeded the operating temperature range. Set the ambient temperature to within the operating temperature range and then turn on LD output. If “TempErr” continues to be displayed, please contact our office.
What to do if Santec Measuring Instruments unit does not turn off?
If your Santec Measuring Instruments unit does not turn off, it may be due to some electrical faults. Keep pressing the Power ON/OFF key for at least 10 seconds.
What does “WL.Err” mean on Santec Measuring Instruments?
If the “W L . E r r ” status is displayed on your Santec Measuring Instruments, it indicates that the closed-loop wavelength control using the built-in wavelength monitor is not working properly. Please restart the product and turn on the LD. If "WL.Err" is still displayed, please contact us.
