Fault finding
Finding faults within the split-site remote control system requires the full system to be
connected together.
The types of faults that can occur are:
•
•
•
Voltage measurements
The circuit diagrams and the relevant circuit notes give voltages at various points under
various conditions and are useful for locating the faulty section of the remote control
equipment.
The parameters listed below should always be checked first.
