For example, if well G10 would have a contact problem, the RTCA Contact Pin for G10
and/or the corresponding Pin for ground (GND) would have to be exchanged. e
positions are marked by arrows in Figure 29.
If well G10 has a contact problem but wells E10, F10 and H10 do not, then replace the
RTCA Contact Pin for G10.
If well G10 has a contact problem and wells E10, F10 and H10 do also, then replace
the GND Pin for the group E10 to H10.
