SECTION 4
4-PORT 5200 DIAGNOSTIC FLOWCHART
The Diagnostic Flowchart is intended to be easy to use and the primary aid when
troubleshooting the 4-Port 5200.
Follow the prompts in the order presented. When
a question is asked, follow the line from the box that best applies to your unit's
condition. When that line terminates with a letter inside a circle, locate the letter
on
a different page and continue the diagnosis. The flowchart leaves nothing to
chance; it tells you when to perform
a specific test and when to replace
components.
SWAPOUT
PROCEDURE
At many places in the diagnostic flowchart, a box tells you to "swapout" a
component, a chip, or a number of chips in a particular order. The "swapout"
instruction means that you should replace the indicated components (one
at a time)
with known-good components of the same
type. The unit should then be tested
with the new, known-good component(s) in place to
see whether the swapout solved .
the problem being checked. If the swapout- did
fix the problem, leave the new
chip in and swapout
the next. Repeat this procedure for the rest of the
components. Once the unit functions properly, reinstall the original IC's one by one
to determine which are actually defective.
1' REPLACE IN ORDER
The "replace in order" instruction means that you should replace the components
indicated in the order listed until the result called out in the previous block is
obtained.
F - Some lines terminate with an F inside a circle. When this occurs, return to the
beginning of the
test sequence on page 3-1.
N - Some lines terminate with an N inside a circle. When this occurs, call your
