No control voltage.
Main breaker tripped or fuse blown

Check wire harness and control voltage

F1 fuse blown on power supply PCB

Check and change.

Display OFF

Bad connection of flat ribbon wire

joining power supply PCB to control

PCB

Verify connectors.
Check power supply board and logic

board for 5VDC. Use a DC voltmeter on
the power supply board, (-) lead of

voltmeter on the top lead of C6 (located
next to the black heatsink on the right

edge of the power supply board) and the
(+) lead of voltmeter on top lead of Diode

AD21 or R25 (located on the upper right
corner of the power supply board.)

Equipment does not respond to STOP /

START controls

F2 fuse blown on power supply PCB

Check and change.

Micro-controller malfunction

Check IC1 and IC8 are correctly inserted
in their sockets.

Check for noise on control voltage power
or line

Long start time
