Troubleshooting ADC Adjustment Failures
The ADC adjustment adjusts the ADC reference voltage to match the A18 CPU +10 Vdc reference.
There are three reasons the adjustment could fail:
• problems with the +10 Vdc reference
• A18 CPU problems
• analog mux on another assembly is starting to fail
Procedure:
1. Run self–test 1100. If self–test 1100 passes, the +10 Vdc reference is good; proceed to step 2.
2. To see if an analog mux is failing and loading the supply, turn power off and remove the A5
Sampler, A6 Frac–N, and A7 Reference.
3. Run the adjustment. If the adjustment passes, turn power off, reinstall one assembly at a time
and run the adjustment until the problem assembly is located.
4. If self–test fails, turn power off, reinstall the assemblies and remove the A8 Output, A9 YIG
Driver, and A10 ALC.
5. Run the adjustment. If the adjustment passes, turn power off, reinstall one assembly at a time
and run the adjustment until the problem assembly is located.
6. If self–test fails, turn power off, reinstall the assemblies and remove the ribbon cable from J10
on the
A26 MID (W35).
7. If self–test passes, replace the A26 MID.
8. If self–test fails, replace A18 CPU.
