CHAPTER 6
Fault Finding Procedures
6.1 Introduction
These fault finding procedures are designed to help maintenance personnel locate and eliminate
faults in the shortest possible time. The fault finding extends to the level of a replaceable part
(DTU, SPU, power supply unit, etc.). Although cabling and connection errors are not covered,
suggestions will be given to check these items when the fault is presumed to be introduced by
them. The basic assumptions for the fault finding are:
z Only one fault at a time.
z The fault is persistent (not intermittent).
z Fault is not due to cabling or bad connections.
The execution of the following steps will avoid unnecessary fault finding:
z Analysis of the fault symptoms.
z Visual inspection of the system (cabling, connections, power cords).
If these steps do not solve the fault, the flowcharts given in Paragraph 6.4 can be used.

This symbol contains a question with two or three possible
answers being "Yes", "No", or other Text.
Inputs are points 1 or 4 and outputs are points 2 or 3 or 4.
This symbol contains an instruction for the maintenance
engineer.
This symbol is used as a starting point for a procedure (e.g.
START), as a reference to another flowchart, or to end a
procedure (END).
This symbol is used as a reference within one flowchart. This
can be to a part of the flowchart on another page (e.g. A or B)
or to a part of the flowchart on the same page (e.g. 1).
Arrows indicate the normal flow.
