FAULT FINDING

INTRAC-305

This fault finding guide goes no further than the replacement of the major assemblies such as power supply, IBR-L or complete printed circuit assemblies.

The INTRAC-305 consists of six major assemblies :-

 

Main Interface PCB

 

 

 

Processor PCB

 

 

 

Low voltage power supply

 

 

LCD Display panel

 

 

 

Front panel keys assembly

 

 

Beacon receiver (optional)

 

Note

The LCD display panel has a replaceable backlight which has

 

a finite life span. This light will need replacing within the

 

working life of the INTRAC-305. Included in this section are

 

instructions on replacing the lamp.

 

FAULT SYMPTOMS

 

 

 

 

INTRAC doesn’t appear

Check that the main power-on switch glows green when

to power up

switched on. If not check INTRAC fuse, power cable and

 

power source

 

 

Display screen blank/dark

Data is visible on screen but display is very dark.

 

Try to adjust display brightness and contrast. Contrast

 

adjustment has some effect but brightness has none.

 

LCD backlight or its inverter has failed.

Note

To adjust brightness or contrast press menu keys 2 - 4 - 5

 

followed by the Enter key. Menu key 4 will now control

 

brightness and menu key 3 will control contrast.

 

Display is bright but there is no data visible. Brightness

 

control has some effect but contrast does not.

 

Check power supply voltages :-

 

 

 

V1 = +5v to com

)

Voltages should be

 

V2 = +15v to com

)

 

within 5% of stated

 

V3 = 12v across + &

)

 

values

 

V4 = 24v across + &

)

 

 

If voltages are correct fault is with LCD, ribbon cable to J18 (Interface PCB) or the Interface PCB itself.

Replacing the LCD backlight

This section applies only to units fitted with a display with a

 

fluorescent tube backlight (blue display). Some units may be

 

fitted with a LED backlight display (grey display) which do not

 

require replacement of the backlight.

 

Remove the top cover from the INTRAC-305. The rear of the

 

LCD panel is then visible.
