Power Supply Check

There are no fuses to replace within the power supply. If you determine
that the power supply is the failed assembly, replace the power supply.
A catastrophic failure in the power supply can be determined by observing the
line switch and the power supply LED indicators:
1. Ensure that the instrument is plugged in with the power switch in the
standby position (power not switched on). Verify that the line switch glows
yellow. A line switch that glows yellow indicates that the power supply is
providing enough voltage to light the LED. (However, the voltage may not
actually be the correct voltage.)
2. Turn on the instrument power and verify that the line switch glows green.
When the line switch glows green, it is an indication that the power supply
has received an "ON" command and that the power supply can provide
enough current to light, at least, this LED.
3. You can determine which power supplies are functioning by viewing the
LED indicators on the A15 midplane board. Refer to
To view the LED indicators, it is necessary to remove the instrument's
outer and inner covers. Refer to
removal procedures. To determine the location of the A15 midplane board,
refer to
Do not operate the analyzer with the outer cover removed for more than
30 minutes, as this could cause the analyzer to overheat which could
result in costly damage.
4. If any power supply voltage is missing, it is likely that the problem is a
defective A16 power supply, the A15 midplane board, or another assembly
that is loading down the A16 power supply. Continue with
Voltage Is Missing" on page 4-11
5. If the line switch is lit correctly, and all the power supply voltages appear
to be present, as indicated by the LEDs as shown in
supply has not suffered a catastrophic failure. However, the power supply
could still be at fault. Continue at

Measure the Individual Supply Voltages
Measure the power supply voltages using a digital multi-meter. Use the point
labeled ACOM as ground reference for analog supplies and the point marked
DCOM as ground reference for digital supplies.
