4. At J21or J18 on the power PCB, do a check for continuity on pin 1 (red) and pin 2 (black). Refer
to Figure 25. Is there continuity on both pins?
If yes, there is possibly a problem with the wiring harness for the machine interface
receptacle. Replace the machine interface receptacle with voltage divider PCB assembly
(228697 for Powermax65/85 SYNC; 528045 for Powermax105 SYNC).
If no, there is possibly a problem with the power PCB. Replace the power PCB.*
* The problem will more often be with the power PCB. In unusual situations, there can be a problem with the
DSP PCB. If possible, install a different DSP PCB that is known to operate correctly before you replace the
power PCB to see if the problem goes away.
