Troubleshooting

 

The internal structure of the electronic load consists of the main board and the 
keyboard  and  they  are  linked  through  cables  or  connectors.  This  chapter 
explains the main troubleshooting procedures for the main board by measuring 
the  rated  test  points  on  them.  This  will  help  to  determine  the  reason  for  the 
failure encountered while operating SDL1020X. 

 

ESD Precautions

 

 

While  performing  any  internal  test  of  the  electronic  load,  please  refer  to  the 
following precautions to avoid damages to its internal modules or components 
resulting from ESD.

 

 

  Touch circuit boards by the edges whenever possible. 

  Limit handling of static-sensitive modules whenever possible.   

  Wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap to help drain the static voltage from 

your body while touching these modules. 

  Operate static-sensitive modules only in static-free areas. Avoid handling 

modules in areas that allow anything capable of generating or holding a 

static charge. 

 

Required Equipment

 

 

The  equipment  listed  in  the  following  table  are  required  to  troubleshoot  the 
electronic load.
