Chapter 5 – Troubleshooting
This chapter provides the technician with the information required to troubleshoot the
Neptune 2 Waste management system. Chapter 5 provides:
• Troubleshooting Overview
• Ultra Rover Block Diagrams
• Docking Station Block Diagrams
• System Troubleshooting Chart
• System Settings Overview
• Technician Menu Overview
• Error Codes
Troubleshooting Overview
This section outlines how troubleshooting is accomplished using the half-split
bracketing method. A complete example is provided which guides the technician
through a troubleshooting example from start to finish. Included here are how to
diagnose a symptom, where to initiate troubleshooting, how to determine if a check is
good or bad, and where to proceed once that decision has been made. Ultimately the
troubleshooting process will lead a technician to the faulty assembly or component.
Ultra Rover Block Diagrams
This section builds on the knowledge gained in the troubleshooting overview. It
provides a block diagram for each of the subassemblies in the Ultra rover. (The Solo
rover will be included after it has been released.) Since the IV pole was used in the
overview example, it has not been included in the block diagram listing. The example for
the IV pole used actual data. The example can be used as a real-life troubleshooting
aid.
Docking Station Block Diagrams
Similar to the Ultra Rover block diagrams section, here the technician can find a
troubleshooting aid for the docking station.
