BASIC DISPLAY ICON INDICATION
We will categorize Troubleshooting with HARDWARE/SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, WEIGHTS & MEASURES and
PRODUCT Settings in the TCS 3000 Register. TCS HUB and Modem Settings follow register troubleshooting.
The list is not all
-
inclusive and should only be used as a guide.
PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Unit will not power up
or there is no display.
Inadequate supply voltage,
+9 to 28VDC are required
for operation.
Ground short on terminals,
wire harness or lug.
1.
With the key in the accessory position, check the battery voltage to
the circuit board. Use the negative terminal as DC ground. While
the TCS3000 will power
-
up at +9VDC, it is recommended that the
input be at least +12.6VDC.
2.
There is a ground short within the register or on the cable harness.
Check wiring on grounds in register or chassis. Some ground shorts
come from a cable jacket being worn through with a tie
-
down.
3.
Check the 7.5A, in
-
line fuse for continuity. It is located in the acces-
sory power line. Replace if necessary.
4.
If the green light blinks fast it is doing what it is supposed to, but
then it will go to a slow blink.
If you see red, then you do not have
enough power on the register.
It must see a minimum of 9vdc.
5.
If the red light comes on and the unit doesn’t power
-
up. Check the
voltage if the voltage is OK but the temperature is
-
20 F this will
indicate that the heater is warming the display to prevent any dam-
age to the VGA display and should come
-
up shortly.
