turely in the middle of the cut.
problem
Output current is unstable and
drifts above or below the set-
ting.
possible cause
"Contactor On" signal is removed from unit.
Momentary loss of primary input power.
Faulty condition, indicated by illumination
of the fault lamp.
Faulty c ondition, i ndicated b y t he i llumination
of the power reset fault lamp.
Current setting too low.
Remote current signal removed during cut.
possible cause
Place t he P ANEL / R EMOTE s witch i n t he " PANEL"
position. Adjust current control pot. If current
no longer drifts, the remote current control
signal is faulty.
Select " PANEL" on the PANEL / REMOTE switch
and adjust the current control pot. The cur-
rent still drifts, measure the current reference
signal at TB1-4 (+) and TB1-5 (-). If the signal
