4-2-1. Troubleshooting the Power Supply Unit. Fault isolation of the Power Supply Unit to a defective
component(s) can be accomplished with the use of a Model 8840A/AF-05 Digital Multimeter (or equivalent) and
120 VAC, 60 Hz and +28 VDC power sources.
Based on the reported fault, follow the schematic diagram, checking for shorts, open circuits, or continuity. Use
the circuit breakers and switches for isolating sections of the unit, and if necessary, disconnecting P1 from the
8VDC power supply to isolate this section. With the multimeter set for ohms, check for continuity, opens, or
shorts, as appropriate.
The following table lists symptoms and probable cause(s) of the most likely faults.
