9. Use Figure 9-10 to check the voltages at each pin of the supply, and the overall voltage.

10. Turn off the instrument power, and re-connect the PMT tube, then re-assemble the sensor.

If any faults are found in the test, you must obtain a new HVPS as there are no user serviceable
parts inside the supply.
