CHAPTER FIVE
5.3.2 GENERATOR (part of STCG Assembly)
When the Generator assembly fails self test, the “Versatile Display Function Menu”, shown in
Figure 5.3.2, will not be displayed (assuming power has been off for several seconds). While
this test is primarily intended to alert the user to a failed condition which might otherwise go
undetected, diagnostics are indicated which may pinpoint the source of the trouble. The unit
seconds (far right LED) display is used for diagnostics as follows in Table 5-1: (last indication
points to the failure).

DISPLAY
As each test is passed, the number of that test is displayed. “5” will be displayed momentarily at
the end of a successful test.
For example, if the Self-Test failed, and an “4” was displayed, it would indicate that the LCD
test failed. (All the tests prior to that passed).
5.3.3 TRANSLATOR (part of STCG Assembly)
Each time a command is sent to the Translator, it must respond or a special “HELP”
“TRANSLATOR FAILED” message will be displayed. This does not interfere with the
Generator time keeping, so it may be desirable to keep the unit operating until the Translator
section can be repaired.
