To troubleshoot tachometer failures

Use this test to isolate tachometer failures to the A10 Rear Panel assembly or A6 Digital assembly.

Step 1. Check the rear panel tachometer input.

GSet the power switch to off ( O ).

Remove the seven screws holding the rear panel to the analyzer and lean the rear panel back until the A10 Rear panel assembly is visible. Keep the cables connected.

Connect the SOURCE output to the TACH input on the rear panel using a BNC cable.

Set the power switch to on ( l ).

Press the following keys:[ CALIBRATN ][]System Utility

[ AUTO CAL OFF ]

Using an oscilloscope and 1 M 10:1 probe, check the following signal.

The signal should be displayed while the self test is running. Each time the self test restarts, the source output to the tachometer input will be interrupted.
