AWA Troubleshooting 

 

1. Rittal Case Removal 

 
The Rittal case has been used on the AWA Series II model.  Removal of this case is as 
follows. 
 
a.  Locate and pry open, with a small slotted screwdriver, six plastic covers that overlap 

six M4 screws that hold the top cover to the case assembly. 

 
b.  Remove these six (6) M4 screws and remove the top cover. 
 
c.  Locate and remove four (4) M16 x 16mm screws that secure the front panel to the 

case assembly.  Two screws are located to the left of the CRT bezel and two are 
located to the right of the test lead set as they exit from the front panel. 

 
d.  Locate and remove five (5) M5 x 12mm black hex head screws that secure the bottom 

chassis to the left and right side case L brackets.  Two are located to the left of the 
CRT shield, two are located to the right of the high voltage transformer, and one is 
located underneath the test select switch. 

 
e.  Locate and unplug the two- (2) pin molex connector from the 12-volt fan to the 

wiring harness.  This fan is located directly behind the CRT tube.  It may be 
necessary to remove a tie wrap that secures the molex connector to the side case 
frame. 

 
f.  Slide the front panel and bottom assembly forward to remove from the case assembly. 
 
Access will now be gained to all internal components and assemblies except the I/O 
board, A/D board and the Controller Board.  See the following instructions for access to 
these assemblies.
