Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Analog Input/Output Problems
Thermo Fisher Scientific Micro-Tech 9101/9201 Reference Manual, Rev J 4-9
Unpopulated (single out).
The troubleshooting procedures are the same for each but the wiring is
different. For this reason, both types (populated and unpopulated) are
presented side-by-side below.
The troubleshooting procedures consist of two sub-sections that deal
with the following. (Please be sure to follow the correct one.)
Analog (current) output(s)
Analog (voltage) inputs
An analog signal failure could be caused by the following.
Failed analog board
Bad or incorrect wiring
Remote device failure
CPU board failure
The troubleshooting procedures listed below consist of three simple
checks, as follows.
Source voltage confirmation.
Verify output directly from the Micro-Tech’s optional printed-circuit
board assembly.
Verify analog circuit loop.
Both analog inputs and outputs are defined in “Main Menu 4,” as
follows.
Analog output (IO Define Scroll 1)
Analog input (IO Define Scroll 2).
In addition, an analog output can be forced to a specific value in “Main
Menu 3,” as follows.
Test Scroll 5A (analog output #1).
