(The following is a test of the
coaxial cable from the terminal to the
Control Unit.
Control Unit signals
will not affect test.)
-Switch
pow~r
OFF
~.
-Disconnect the coaxial cable from the
terminal.
-Measure the resistance from the
center pin of the connector on the
cable to the outer case of the
connector.
-Use RxlO range.
Is resistance between 1.Sk ohms and
2.6k
ohms?
Y N
013
Resistance higher than 2.6k ohms
indicates an open cable, bad cable
connector or failure at the Control
Unit.
(Cable resistance is 30
ohms/IOOO feet).
-Repair or exchange - See Control
Unit MIM.

(The following is a test from the
coaxial connector on the terminal
connector to card C2).
-Test the resistance from the center
contact of the connector on the
terminal to the outer case of the
connector.
Do not use the frame of
the terminal.
-Use
Rxl
range.
Does resistance measure between 0 and
3
ohms?

eReseat the C2 logic card.
-Verify the continuity, location and
seating of the coaxial cable
(conductor and shield) from the
coaxial cable socket to the logic
gate.
See Figure 6-13.
Repair or
excha'nge the cable as necessary.
-If no problem is found exchange the
C2 card.
