4 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
This chapter provides basic instructions to isolate a problem.
Troubleshooting Hints
This section provides a brief checklist of common failures. Before
troubleshooting the instrument, be sure the failure is in the instrument
rather than any external connections.
Unit seems inoperative
1 Verify the ac power cord is connected to the instrument.
2 Press the front panel power switch.
3 Listen for the fan (on the right side of the instrument) to isolate a
problem with the front panel.
4 Remove all plug- in modules to verify a module is not causing the
failure.
5 Verify the power supply as described on page 79.
Isolating to an assembly
1 Remove all plug- in modules from the mainframe.
2 Remove any connections to the Analog Bus.
3 Turn on power and listen for the beep and fan operation. The fan
operates from the main power supply.
4 Isolate the internal DMM by removing it from the instrument. The
instrument should turn on and pass self- test without the internal DMM
installed. Disassembly procedures begin on page 115.
Unit fails self-test
1 Check the display for the power on self test results.
2 Remove all plug- in modules from the mainframe and any connections to
the Analog Bus. Run the self- test again. A passing self- test indicates a
problem with a plug- in module. Replace the plug- in modules one at a
time to isolate the failing module.
3 If the self test still fails, remove the internal DMM from the instrument.
The instrument should turn on and pass self- test without the internal
DMM installed. Disassembly procedures begin on page 115.
4 Self- test errors are described beginning on page 82.
