connector (J2) on the upper PCA.  The voltage should measure 6 VDC ± .25 VDC.  If the DC 
voltage is incorrect or missing, check the ribbon cable connections at the lower and upper 
PCA’s.  Check the ribbon cable for cut or frayed wires.  If necessary replace the ribbon 
cable.

11. If the voltage in step 8 measured 6 VDC 

±

 .25 VDC and the upper display is not illuminated, 

be sure that the U3 prom is correctly installed and firmly seated in it’s socket on the upper 
PCA.  If the prom is correctly installed, replace the UPCA.

12. If you have performed all of the previous tests and have not been able to locate the trouble, 

call Precor customer support.
