GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

When encountering a problem, it is advisable to return
as many of the front panel controls as possible to their
initial settings and still retain the problem. The trouble­
shooting tables in this section general i y begin at these
initial settings and specify all subsequent setups.
Preset the front panel controls as follows.

CAUTION
To prevent d am age to components, turn
unit off while removing or replacing
components, connectors or pc boards.
The tuspected malfunctioning condition should be
double checked to eliminate the possibility of improper
settings o r connections. Before attempting fault isola­
tion, the unit should be checked for proper line
voltage selection (refer to Section 2). A good visual in­
spection of the boards and chassis wires for damage
or overheating often saves much time.
Once the malfunction is defined, begin the isolation
procedure by selecting an indication in table 6-1
Indication: Fuse blown, no power indication or no outputs.
1.
Set all controls in their initial positions (refer to paragraph 6.4).
2.
Ensure line voltage matches instrument configuration (refer to Section 2).
Check fuse.
Check C1 ( + ) and C2 (-) for
