2. TROUBLESHOOTING AND TESTING
Check the capacitor when troubleshooting issues regarding digital clock displays. Should the capacitor
fail, there will be no impairment of any other generator function or output. As the capacitor is connected
directly to the output power supply, it has the potential to store a high voltage charge and should be
discharged prior to testing. Unplug the 2p connector and short circuit the capacitor by placing the end
of an insulated screwdriver across the two terminals.
Term
Do not touch the exposed terminals nor attempt to take any measurements
before discharging the capacitor.
Use the capacitance checking mode of a multimeter. Replace the capacitor if any reading is outside the
standard value of 10uF±5%.
