DigiSET connector 5.1.3 Internal wiring connection verification  After removing the bottom plate, verify the connectivity between the heating block external connector and the PCB. 5.1.4 DigiSET verification (only if available) Make sure that the DigiSET is fully functional and that the voltage selector is properly set (see DigiSET operation and service manual).
  • Page 29  Monostable verification (74HC123AN – U3) NOTE: This will also confirm that the CPU is also up and running o Unscrew the bottom plate by removing the four screws holding the feet in place. o First verify that U3 part number is 74HC123AN. If not, please replace accordingly (see figure 18).
  • Page 30 If the LED is not ON, if possible, use an oscilloscope and see if there is a pulsing signal on the trigger input, coming from the CPU. The pulse width should always be 1 second regardless of the frequency (please refer to the figure 15 and figure 18 for pin location).
  • Page 31 o Measure with a multimeter the voltage between T2 test point and GND Jumper (analog ground). o If there is a pulse or a steady 5V then the Q3 switch is fine. The problem is probably the solid-state relay. o If there is always 0V and the LED is ON or toggles, then replace Q3.
