5. Turn the generator
OFF
. Check the stack for proper
assembly, damaged components, or dirty mating
surfaces. Recheck the ultrasound cable for proper
connections. Repeat Steps 1 through 4. If the test still
fails, go to the next step.
6. Turn the generator
OFF
, remove the stack from the
thruster, and remove the horn from the stack. Reinstall
the transducer-booster assembly in the thruster and
turn the generator on. Repeat Steps 2 through 4.
If the assembly passes with the horn removed, the horn
is outside the specifications required for operation with
the Digi-Trac preset range. Reassemble the horn to the
stack.
