6. Troubleshooting
PRECAUTION
1. CHECK GROUNDING BEFORE CHECKING FOR TROUBLE.
2. BE CAREFUL OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT.
3. DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR.
4. WHEN CHECKING THE CONTINUITY OF THE SWITCHES OR TRANSFORMER, DISCONNECT
LEAD WIRES FROM THESE PARTS AND THEN CHECK CONTINUITY WITHOUT THE POWER
SOURCE ON. TO DO OTHERWISE MAY RESULT IN A FALSE READING OR DAMAGE TO YOUR
METER.
5. DO NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CIRCUIT OR THE CONTROL CIRCUIT BOARD, SINCE STATIC
DISCHARGE MAY DAMAGE IT. ALWAYS TOUCH GROUND WHILE WORKING ON IT TO
DISCHARGE ANY STATIC CHARGE BUILT UP.

4. Shorted HVCapacitor
5. Shorted HVTransformer (NOTE2)
NOTE 1: All of these switches must be replaced at the same time.
(refer to adjustment instructions)
Check continuity of main or power relay contacts and if it has continuity,
replace main or power relay also.
NOTE 2: When HVTransformer is replaced, check diode and magnetron also.
