Repair considerations
Before making any repairs to the Model 2410, be sure to read the following considerations.
CAUTION
The PC boards are built using surface mount techniques and require
specialized equipment and skills for repair. If you are not equipped and/
or qualified, it is strongly recommended that you send the unit back to the
factory for repairs or limit repairs to the PC board replacement level.
Without proper equipment and training, you could damage a PC board
beyond repair.
•
Repairs will require various degrees of disassembly. However, it is recommended that
the Front Panel Tests be performed prior to any disassembly. The disassembly
instructions for the Model 2410 are contained in Section 5 of this manual.
•
Do not make repairs to surface mount PC boards unless equipped and qualified to do so
(see previous CAUTION).
•
When working inside the unit and replacing parts, be sure to adhere to the handling
pre-cautions and cleaning procedures explained in Section 5.
•
Many CMOS devices are installed in the Model 2410. These static-sensitive devices
require special handling as explained in Section 5.
•
When a circuit board is removed or a component is replaced, the Model 2410 must be
recalibrated. See Section 2 for details on calibrating the unit.
Power-on self-test
During the power-on sequence, the Model 2410 will perform a checksum test on its EPROM
and test its RAM. If one of these tests fail, the instrument will lock up.
