Section 20 Failures and After-Sale
Services
20.1 Failure Detection
Semiconductor circuits can be considered to be almost free from defective semiconductors and/or
performance deterioration except when there are design and inspection errors, or external and human
induced causes. Generally, the causes of comparably frequent failures include line disconnection due
to humidity of the high resistor, failure of the variable resistor as well as contact failures of switches and
relays.
In addition to faulty parts, faulty adjustments (especially faulty tuning) or faulty maintenance (especially
faulty cable contact) occasionally make up causes of failures; thus, it is effective to reinspect or
readjust these items.
20.1.1 About alerts
