TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If your LABC1 does not work correctly after construction, recheck the following:

correct orientation of VR1, and U1 (see PC board layout diagram)

correct polarity of electrolytic capacitors

correct orientation of diodes D1 to D17

correct orientation of transistor Q1

No shorted traces on the bottom side of the circuit board

all solder connections.

Hints

Erratic or unstable operation is generally caused by faulty solder joints or cable connections.

Replacement components may be ordered directly from Ramsey Electronics, Inc. but records show that failure rates for these parts are extremely low.

Please understand that it is nearly impossible to “troubleshoot” by phone. Any specific questions should be documented and sent to us by email or snail- mail. Email questions should be sent to techsupport@ramseyelectronics.com.
