Troubleshooting Charts
The troubleshooting charts contained in the "Diagrams"
section are to be used as an aid in locating malfunctioning
circuitry. To use the charts, begin w ith the Troubleshooting
Guide. This chart w ill help identify a particular problem
area fo r further troubleshooting.
Note that some troubleshooting-procedure boxes on
each chart contain numbers along their lower edges. These
numbers identify the applicable schematic diagram(s) to
be used when performing the action specified in the box.
Both General and Specific notes may be called out in
the troubleshooting-chart boxes. These notes are located on
the inner panels o f the foldout pages. Specific Notes
contain procedures or additional information to be used in
performing the particular troubleshooting step called fo r in
that box. General Notes contain information that pertains
to the overall troubleshooting procedure.
Some malfunctions, especially those involving multiple
simultaneous failures, may require more elaborate trouble
shooting approaches w ith references to circuit descriptions
in the "Theory o f Operation" section o f this manual.
Component Color Coding
Information regarding color codes and markings of
resistors and capacitors is located in the color-coding
illustration (Figure 9-1) at the beginning o f the "Diagrams"
section.
RESISTOR COLOR CODE. Resistors used in this instru
ment are carbon-film, composition, or precision metal-film
types. They are color coded w ith the EIA color code;
however, some metal-film resistors may have the value
printed on the body. The color code is interpreted by
starting w ith the stripe that is nearest to one end o f the
resistor. Composition resistors have four stripes; these
represent tw o significant figures, a m ultiplier, and a
tolerance value. Metal-film resistors have five stripes which
represent three significant figures, a m ultiplier, and a
tolerance value.
CAPACITOR
MARKINGS.
common disc capacitors and small electrolytics are marked
on the side o f the capacitor body. White ceramic capacitors
are color coded in picofarads, using a modified EIA code.
Dipped tantalum capacitors are color coded in micro
farads. The color dot indicates both the positive lead and
the
voltage
rating.
Since these capacitors are easily

destroyed by reversed or excessive voltage, be careful to
observe the polarity and voltage rating.
DIODE COLOR CODE. The cathode end o f each glass-
encased diode is indicated by either a stripe, a series of
stripes, or a dot. For most silicon or germanium diodes
marked w ith a series o f stripes, the color combination o f
the stripes identifies three digits o f the Tektronix Part
Number, using the resistor color-code system (e.g., a diode
having either a pink or a blue stripe at the cathode end,
then a brown-gray-green stripe combination, indicates
Tektronix Part Number 152-0185-00). The cathode and
anode ends o f a metal-encased diode can be identified by
the diode symbol marked on its body.
Semiconductor Lead Configurations
Figure 9-2 in the "Diagrams" section shows the lead
configurations fo r semiconductor devices used in the
instrument. These lead configurations and case styles are
typical of those available at completion o f the design o f
the instrument. Vendor changes and performance improve
ment changes may result in changes o f case styles or lead
configurations. If the device in question does not appear to
match the configuration
associated circuitry or consult a semiconductor manu
facturer's data sheet.
Multipin Connectors
M ultipin connector orientation is indicated by tw o
triangles: one on the holder and one on the circuit board.
Slot numbers are usually molded into the holder. When a
connection is made to circuit-board pins, ensure that the
triangle on the holder and the triangle on the circuit board
are aligned w ith each other (see Figure 6-1).
