3) If any of these voltages are not present or
are below a 10% tolerance, replace the
PCB3 (WK-5548). Refer to section 12.3.3.

1) Verify the condition of the cooling fan, FAN1,
using a DC voltmeter. (The capability of the
voltmeter should be more than 50VDC.) Using
a DC voltmeter, measure between PIN1 (Posi-
tive [+]) and PIN2 (Negative [-]) of CN11 on
PCB3 (WK-5548). The location of connector
CN11 of PCB3 is indicated in Figure 11-12.
When you measure the above voltage, do not
remove the connector. Conduct the measure-
ment while the connector plug and receptacle
are still connected.

At the time of a low output and standby,
fan rotation becomes slow, which makes
exact voltage measuring impossible.
When verifying the voltage, confirm that the
AC input voltage remain within the operating
range of the unit. (The AC input does not
drop below 180VAC).
