Detailed Troubleshooting

If the previous general troubleshooting steps did not highlight the
problem, the following Trouble Trees of symptoms and probable causes
may help (see Figure 5-1, Figure 5-2, and Figure 5-3 on page 5Ð8).

Figure 5-1. Trouble TreeÑCommunications

1. Check Switcher setup;
see Section 2 of this
manual

2. Check control panel
cable

1. Check AC fuses inside:
AC Input Connector
Frame Power Supply

2. Check for power on
power cord

3. Replace Power Supply

1. Check fuse on that
module

2. Verify that module
is plugged in
