INTRODUCTION
This
section
of the manual presents warranty information and service
methods.
Performance test procedures are presented in Section 4A, access
procedures in 4B,
calibration
adjustment
procedures in Section 4C, and troubleshooting and repair
information
in
Section 4D.
Each
Signal
Generator
is warranted for a period of one year following delivery
to
the
original
purchaser.
The warranty is
located
in front of
Section
1 of
this manual.
4-2.
SERVICE METHODS
The Signal Generator is designed to be
easily
and economically
serviced. You
may
return
your
instrument to Fluke for service, or you may service it yourself, and
repair it, if
necessary, by
module
replacement or component replacement.

Fluke
Service
Fluke Service is
probably
the easiest for you. To ship a Signal Generator to the
Fluke
Technical Service Center nearest you, see
Section
2
for
shipping requirements and
Section 7
for a list of repair centers. A cost estimate will be provided
if
you
request one
and if your
instrument purchase date is beyond the warranty period.

Module
Replacement
If
your Generator develops a
problem, see the Troubleshooting Section 4D
for
information
on identifying the faulty module. With a
modest
amount of technical
knowledge and
test
equipment, you can identify the faulty module and
replace it using the
Module Exchange Program.
This
method takes only a day or two to
restore
the
Generator to
proper
working order. Very little or no calibration is
required depending on
the
module replaced.
Module exchange
is
used if it is necessary to completely recalibrate any of the
three
modules in your
Generator that have an associated calibration EPROM.
4-5-
Parts Replacement
Parts
replacement
requires more equipment and service capability but
usually
offers the
best economy and
quickest turnaround. It involves part replacement at the
customer’s
facility.
Most
faults are detected by the built-in self tests or the UNCAL status
circuits. By noting
the self-test
error
code and interrogating the UNCAL status code, the service
technician
learns where the
problem
is. By applying normal signal tracing and troubleshooting
procedures (see Troubleshooting
in
Section
4D of the
manual),
the fault can be quickly
identified.
