In this Handbook, work procedures are given in the form of tables instead of flow charts used general-
ly. Familiarize yourself by studying the example below.
EX. AC power is absent.
■ To find out the cause (problem part) of a single problem, refer to the item under “Cause/Fault.” For “AC
power is absent,” the cause may be the power plug, covers, power source, or others.
■ To find out the checks to make or remedies to provide for a single problem, refer to the “Checks” and
“Remedies”; make checks, answer to the questions YES or NO, and provide remedies accordingly. If
the answer is otherwise, proceed to the next step.
■ Checks on the voltage using a meter call for special note; the description “Check the voltage between
J109-1 (+) and J109-2 (–) on the DC controller PCB” means that the positive probe of the meter should
be placed on J109-1 (+) and the negative probe, on J109-2 (–).
