AWA Troubleshooting
Analyzer Troubleshooting Procedures
&Fault Listing
1. Rittal case removal. (AWAII only).
2. Windows NT crashes after installing a new printer driver or other software.
3. Windows NT crashes after installing a new printer driver of other software, giving a
blue screen.
4. Windows NT reports device errors upon boot up.
5. Windows NT crashes/NIC card does not work after an ISA network card is installed.
6. Floppy Disk Drive failure.
7. Hard disk drive failure.
8. AWA has a black screen after being transported even though fans are working.
9. AWA has a black/gray screen with very faint text seen, and VGA output appears
normal when an external VGA monitor is plugged in.
10. AWA never properly concludes a PI test, always stops after 5 minutes.
11. AWA tester gives a HiPot rip at the activation of every meg-ohm/HiPot/PI test, after
transport to a new testing location.
12. AWA tester gives a flat line surge after transport to a new testing location.
13. AWA gives unbalanced resistance results, such as .188, .257, .189 Ohms on a known
good three phase motor.
14. AWA always reports 2001 ohms on the resistance balance test; HiPot and surge test
appears to work normally.
15. AWA resistance test works normally, HiPot and surge do not.
16. AWA reaches arbitrary test voltage for meg-ohm/DC HiPot/PI Test and then stops at
that voltage.
17. AWA reaches an arbitrary test voltage for the surge test, then stops.
18. AWA has a lot of "Spikes" seen on the surge waveform, especially in the 50 micro-
seconds/div setting.
