Channel Short Circuit or Overcurrent (5069-OF4, 5069-OF4K, 5069-OF8)

What does Chxx.ShortCircuit mean?

This boolean tag indicates that a short circuit or overcurrent condition exists on channel (xx). This condition is detected only when the channel is configured for voltage mode output. A value of 1 signifies a short circuit or overcurrent.

• Short circuit condition on the channel (Chxx) output wiring
• Overcurrent condition on the channel (Chxx) output due to an improper load
• Channel (Chxx) is configured for voltage mode and an excessive current draw is detected.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the wiring from channel (Chxx) output for any short circuits to ground or other potentials.

2. 2

   Measure the current draw on the channel (Chxx) output to ensure it is within limits for voltage mode operation.

3. 3

   Verify the impedance and functionality of the load connected to channel (Chxx) output.
