General Fault Isolation
First Things to Ask
If the unit is not working properly, save yourself some time
troubleshooting by asking yourself these basic questions.
•
Is the power cord connected?
•
Is the unit turned ON at the rear of the monitor?
•
On the Solar 7000, is the display LED illuminated? (If not, press the
DISPLAY ON/OFF button to turn the display ON.)
•
On a Solar 8000/View, is the display LED or screen illuminated? (If
not, press the power ON/OFF button to turn the display ON.)
•
Are all the communication cables firmly connected?
•
Were there any changes in the use, location, or environment of the
equipment that could cause the failure?
•
Has the unit been modified in any way, either in software or
hardware?
Is operator error the cause of the problem? Try to repeat the user’s
scenario exactly and compare that to the proper operation of the
equipment. Check the operator’s manual as necessary.
Visual Inspection
A thorough visual inspection of the equipment can save time. Small
things—disconnected cables, foreign debris on circuit boards, missing
hardware, loose components—can frequently cause symptoms and
equipment failures that may appear to be unrelated and difficult to
track.
The following steps might seem trivial but it is highly recommended that
they be performed to remove these “simple” failures as causes of
problems.
•
Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and disconnect the
monitor from its power source.
•
Read the “Disassembly Guidelines” in Chapter 7: “Upper Level
Assembly,” before you perform an internal visual inspection of the
components.
WARNING
High voltages exist in this unit. Use insulated tools.
Remove jewelry. Use only one hand when possible.
•
Check all fuses. See “Fuse Part Numbers” in Chapter 7: Upper Level
Assembly.
