content: First of all find all the related manuals, operator manuals, services manuals if they are availableDont play in it, thinking this or that, i dont know your experience level, but this is a serious piece of equipment, not for the kids ...http://www.ko4bb.com/getsimple/index.php?id=manuals&dir=06_Misc_Test_Equipment/Datron/Datron_9100https://www.eserviceinfo.com/index.php?what=search2&searchstring=WAVETEK+9100You have at least 7 wavetek 9100 documents to download there, they have WAVETEK in the description, not the others similar model / brand----------------------------------------------------------------This is the operator manual in a single filehttps://www.schematicsunlimited.com/w/wavetek/wavetek-9100-universal-calibration-system----------------------------------------------------------------EDIT :Haven't found schematics, many falses links or some instruments have the ''9100'' descriptor in themFollowing threads has a link to the schematicsYou may try to contac Fluke ??

content: to get pass thru SYSTEM TRIP UNEXPECTED power amp oveload screenbypass PA_OL_L = 8 line by connecting/shorting TP221 to TP515 (+5.5 VDC)the test rig they have at wavetek is that you can able to bias R208 and monitor thevoltage at TP213 - TP214 to 300mV ±10mV, but when repairing in house/home.the cpu won't let you get past the pa overload error and cpu will hard reset.PA_OL_L active low.safety reasons that i will cause potential fire. be prepared for anything.i'll still have to study the whole Power amplifier section. i am wishing that something would blow so that i can see themagic smokebetter picture.

content: Hi Martin,Thankyou for the Link to the Schematics, I too have a Wavetek 9100 with the Same Error At Boot Selftest :9508 UNEXPECTED Power Amp Overload.I bypass PA_OL_L = 8 line by connecting/shorting TP221 to TP515 (+5.5 VDC) and now I get the Following Error:9507 - UNEXPECTED HV power supply flagUnfortunately (or perhaps not :-) the 9507 again is a Fatal Error, that Stops the CPU.Btw: you can Disable the Selftest at PowerUp by Holding the Mid Button Undet the Display for 2 Seconds when Turning the 9100 on.Did you got any further ?Cheers,Konstantin
