all obvious defects. In the case of overheated components, determine and correct the cause of overheating before re-applying power.

5.Use successive electrical checks to locate the source of the problem. The primary tool for problem isolation is the oscilloscope. Use the Performance Check Procedure (located in Section 5) to determine if a circuit is operating within specifications. At times it may be necessary to change a calibration adjustment to determine if a circuit is operational, but since this can destroy instrument calibration, care should be exercised. Before changing an adjustment, note its position so that it can be returned to its original setting.

6.Determine the extent of the repair. If the necessary repair is complex, it may be advisable to contact your local Tektronix field office or representative before continuing. If the repair is minor, such as replacing a component, see the parts list for replacement information. Removal and replacement procedures for the assemblies can be found under Corrective Maintenance.

Power Supply Troubleshooting Procedure

NOTE. A review of the power supply theory of operation is recommended before attempting repairs.

The equipment needed to troubleshoot the power supply:

HDigital Multimeter (DMM), with a diode check function

HOscilloscope

H0 to 20 Vdc Variable Power Supply

HClip Lead - to short across a component

HHigh Voltage Probe, ≥1 GΩ input resistance

Introduction The Troubleshooting Procedure for the Power Supply (Assembly A1) is split into two sections, the Low Volts and High Volts Supplies. Start the procedure by determining which section of the Power Supply the problem is in. Apply ac power and turn on the Power Supply. From Table 6-2, determine which symptom the Power Supply exhibits and refer to the corresponding procedure.
