      Maria ValentineAug 8, 2025
      First, ensure the power cord is properly connected. If that's not the issue, check the fuse; it might be blown. Open the fuse box lid and replace the fuse. Lastly, verify that you are using the correct, undamaged power cord.

    Why does ”SysAlert” and “TempErr” display on Santec Measuring Instruments?
    • B
      brownkennethAug 15, 2025
      The “SysAlert” and “TempErr” message appears because the ambient temperature may be outside the operating range. Make sure there is enough space around the instrument's vent to allow for proper exhaust heat dissipation and that the environmental temperature is suitable for operation.

      Michael MoranAug 22, 2025
      If there is no light output, first ensure that the optical output is active by pressing the ACTIVE key and verifying the LED is lit. Then, check the external interlock circuit and close it or use a short circuit cap on the interlock connector. Also, ensure the optical connector is properly connected and clean the end face of the optical connector. Finally, make sure the connected optical cable is not broken and replace it if necessary.
