Power Supply Check
A catastrophic failure in the power supply can be determined by observing the
line switch and the power supply LED indicators:
1.
Ensure that the instrument is plugged in with the power switch in the
standby position (power not switched on). Verify that the line switch
displays a yellow light - this indicates that the power supply standby line
is active and functional.
2.
Turn on the instrument power and verify that the line switch displays a
green light - this indication that the power supply is active and does not
sense an over-current condition.
3.
You can determine which power supplies are functioning by viewing the
LED indicators on the A19 midplane board. Refer to
To view the LED indicators, it is necessary to remove the instrument’s
outer and inner covers. Refer to
“Removing the Covers” on page 7-6
removal procedures. To determine the location of the A19 midplane board,
refer to
“Top Assemblies and Cables, All Options” on page 6-17
4.
If any power supply voltage is missing, it is likely that the problem is a
defective A20 power supply, the A19 midplane board, or another assembly
that is loading down the A20 power supply. Continue with
Voltage Is Missing” on page 4-10
to determine the cause of the problem.
5.
If the line switch is lit correctly, and all the power supply voltages appear
to be present, as indicated by the LEDs as shown in
, the power
supply has not suffered a catastrophic failure. However, the power supply
could still be at fault. Continue at
“Measure the Individual Supply
to verify that the actual supply voltages are correct.
Measure the Individual Supply Voltages
Measure the power supply voltages using a digital multi-meter. Use the point
labeled ACOM as ground reference for analog supplies and the point marked
DCOM as ground reference for digital supplies.
Refer to
for the power supply measurement points on the A19
for the correct voltages.
There are no fuses to replace within the power supply. If you determine
that the power supply is the failed assembly, replace the power supply.
Do not operate the analyzer with the outer cover removed for more than
30 minutes, as this could cause the analyzer to overheat which could
result in costly damage.
