Symptoms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PWR IMBAL

Power Supply

Usually, a diode or capacitor failure will

reduce magnetron current by one-half.

 

 

 

Test the diodes and capacitors according

 

 

 

to Chapter 6, “Maintenance”. The voltage

 

 

 

to the primary coils ONLY of the high

 

 

 

voltage transformers should also be

 

 

 

checked.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filament

Check the filament transformer and

 

 

Transformer

connections.

 

 

 

 

Switch from

 

Control Card

Replace the control card if no power

 

 

supply, magnetron, or other malfunctions

test points. If it is not within specifications,

 

 

 

 

 

replace magnetron.

 

 

 

 

 

PWR ERROR

Filament

Check filament transformer and

 

indicator lights

transformer

connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magnetron

Check for presence of magnetron current.

 

 

 

If it is zero, disconnect all power, and

 

 

 

replace magnetron. If magnetron current is

 

 

 

low or half, check diode block and HV

 

 

 

capacitors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control Card

Replace the control card.

 

 

 

 

 

RF INTLK

Lamp bulb faulty

Replace the lamp bulb.

 

indicator lights

 

 

 

RF Screen

Replace the RF screen.

 

 

 

 

damaged

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RF - arcs forming

Inspect reflector for pitting; replace if

 

 

 

necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RF Detector faulty

See “RF Detector” on page 20 to test RF

 

 

 

detectors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Position

Reposition the detector farther from the

 

 

 

screen and/or the light shield opening.

 

 

 

 

WARNING: The RF detector should at all times be closer to the screen or light shield opening than personnel working nearby. It should be aimed so that it intercepts RF radiation from the irradiators.
