switch) and the power distribution board (wire harness) means that either the main
control board is faulty and not sending the signal to the power distribution board, or the
power distribution board is faulty and it is not generating the required 12 volts to engage
the IV pole motor. In either case the faulty circuit board should be replaced. (good input,
no output) To determine which circuit board has failed, the technician should remove
the output connector on the main control board and check the output while pressing the
IV pole up button. A good output from the main control board and a known good
interface suggest that the power control board is faulty. However, if the output of the
main control board is bad, then the main control board should be replaced. Figures 4a
and 4b illustrate the last check.
