2.9 Troubleshooting
2.9.1 Introduction
This section is intended as an aid to fault finding, on an IMx-8/IMx-8Plus system. It is
designed for instrumentation engineers and others with sufficient knowledge of
electrical troubleshooting including safe working procedures, in electronic systems
powered by 22 to 50 V DC*. Be aware that invasive troubleshooting may cause
changes in alarm or channel status in the IMx and any interconnected systems.
*Note that the power supply to the system, for example where an optional
CMON 4137 power supply is being used, may be higher.
Whilst striving to provide information that is as accurate as possible, SKF cannot be
held responsible for any injury or damage to persons or material that occur in the
