Power-on Troubleshooting Using the LED’s.
WARNING:
Do not touch any parts inside the unit during this test as they will be live and
dangerous. Always wear safety glasses.
If the three input fuses are OK, then reconnect the main AC input power to the cabinet.
LV Supply (CI P/N 7003-722):
Turn the main breaker on and check green LED DS2 and DS3 on the system interface board. Both LEDs
should be lit indicating the +/-19Vdc and +/-15Vdc supplies are OK.
If one or both of the LEDs is not lit, then there is something wrong with the LV power supply and it will
have to be serviced.
Oscillator
(Front Panel):
If LV supply appears good, then program 150Vac on the low range and connect a DMM to TP2 (phase A)
on the system interface board with the low side of the meter connected to TP1. There should be a 2 – 3
volt rms signal present on TP2. Check TP3 (phase B) for the same signal. Check TP4 (phase C) for the
same signal.
AC power module (CI P/N 7003-433-X):
If the oscillator drive signals are present on the system interface board, connect the DMM to brass
terminals 5 & 6 located near the bottom of the power module. Program 100 Volts.
There should be about 100Vac between terminals 5 and 6. If no voltage at all is measured it is possible
that the AC power stage inside the module has failed and it will be necessary to remove the power module
from the chassis for closer inspection.
WARNING:
Wait 10 minutes for all internal capacitors to discharge.
To remove the power module proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect the 7 wires going to the brass terminals on the lower front panel of the module. Label the
wires so they can be reinstalled correctly later.
2.
Remove screws securing the upper and lower straps holding the module in the chassis slot.
3.
Remove the 50-pin ribbon connector at J50A, B or C.
4.
Carefully slide module outward and lift out of cabinet. Use caution, module weighs 66 LBS (30Kg).
5.
With the power module out of the cabinet and lying flat on a bench, remove the screws on the bottom
and sides of the left hand cover as seen from the front when module is installed normally.
6.
Inspect the three IGBT transistor modules Q1, Q2 and Q3 for any visible damage.
7.
Using an ohmmeter check the 30A fuses on the positive and negative side of the power distribution
board that connects the four amplifier modules to the DC bus. If any of them are open, then one or
more of the amplifier sections has a damaged device on the heat sink assemblies and the power
module assembly will have to be serviced.

Other No Output Conditions
If one or more outputs (phase A, B or C) do not produce an output, it may be caused by an amplifier
failure. Amplifier failures can either be input (PFC) or output related (Amp). To determine if this is the
case, the cover of the amplifier has to be removed. Contact customer service
before attempting to diagnose on your own.
