Auto Power Off Function
If an abnormal voltage or current is detected in the B1500, the B1500 automatically
turns off to prevent damage.
If this function is activated, the B1500 is turned off, but the Standby switch is left
ON. Perform the following steps to turn the B1500 on again.
1. If Windows is running, end all tasks, and shutdown Windows.
2. Open the measurement terminals.
3. Press the Standby switch to set it to the OFF position.
4. Remove the power cable from the B1500 rear panel.
5. Wait for 10 seconds or more.
6. Connect the power cable from the B1500 rear panel.
7. Press the Standby switch to set it to the ON position.
Abnormal voltage or current can be caused by incorrect connections of the B1500 to
the test device, excess voltage or current input, momentary power loss, defects of
the instrument, and so on.
If no cable is connected to the measurement terminals of the B1500, and the line
voltage is correct, the B1500 may have a defect. Contact the nearest Agilent
Technologies for assistance.
