Initial Troubleshooting
4-36.
The
troubleshooting
techniques given below
should
be
completed as
the
first step toward repairing
any apparent
malfunction
in
the
unit.
Improper
opera-
tion may not always
be caused by
failures within the
8600A.
The following reminders of basic fault isolation
techniques
will
help
determine if the cause is the
result
of
an
internal failure or faulty external connection.
a. Carefully check the
8600A
control settings:
some false indications may be caused
by
an
incorrect
or
overlooked
control setting.
b. Check
associated
equipment:
insure that associ-
ated equipment
controls and connections are
correct.
d.
Carefully inspect the
interior of
the
instrument:
check for physically damaged
parts, loose or brok-
en
wires, and improperly
seated plug-in assem-
blies.

When it has been determined
by
the
above checks
that the
malfunction is within
the
8600A
multimeter, the
following procedure
should be used to
isolate the problem
area. The recommended test equipment for
trouble-
shooting this instrument
is listed in table
4-1
. A
trouble-
shooting flow chart
is included in figure
4-2
as an aid in
repairing
the
instrument. Performance
tests
given
in
the
beginning of this section are referred
to by
paragraph
number
and
table number. Tests
contained in
the
following sections are referred
to by
paragraph number.
In addition portions of the theory of operation section
relevant to the correct operation of
the
circuitry in
question
are referred to
by
