Introduction
In order to assist in the troubleshooting of the Platinum Z16HD+ transmitter this section
will concentrate in the following areas:
•
Using the Diagnostics Display System, concentrating on the Fault Log.
•
Defining all of the transmitter fault indications, their origin, and their effect on the
transmitter.
In the technician’s favor is the fact that the Platinum Z16HD+ transmitter has relatively
few individual parts due to the modular design. The basic philosophy behind the design
is to allow exchange of and/or replacement of relatively inexpensive modular
components when a failure does occur, rather than troubleshooting down to the
component level. This is not to say that component level troubleshooting is not an
option. But due to the complexity of the circuitry and the use of surface mount
components, especially in the controller boards, (which are multi-layer boards as well),
troubleshooting and field replacement can be very difficult. It is relatively easy to
damage these boards with improper equipment and soldering techniques due to the size
of the components, traces and soldering pads.
There are only 6 analog adjustments in the transmitter and control system, with most of
them being factory, one-time, adjustments. This all but eliminates mis-adjustment as a
cause of failure. The controller itself is also modular, using at least 5 separate boards,
with its own self diagnostics for communications between the microprocessors and
read/write tests for the on board memory. There is also the redundancy factor provided
by the Life Support Board, which will operate the transmitter at a reduced power level if
the Master Controller fails.
