Troubleshooting
If an 86431 Power Unit is suspected of being defective, replace it with a known-
good 86431 Power Unit and if the replacement unit functions properly, return the
original to GE Multilin for repair or replacement.
Note:
An old-generation (B)86431-0X Power Unit can be replaced with a new-
generation B86431-4X Power Unit and vice versa as long as they have the same
external voltage rating (digit X must be the same). However, caution should be
exercised when replacing a B86431-4X unit with a (B)86431-0X unit if the
nominal shelf load exceeds 18 W.
The following table is intended to provide the user with possible solutions to
problems that may be encountered during normal unit operation.
