8. TROUBLESHOOTING

S. Fault Symptoms Possible Reasons for Fault


No.
1 Machine does not get Check three-phase supply at the main switch and at the
‘ON’ input side of the three to single-phase transformer by
opening the top cover of 3 – 1 Phase Transformer.
Check the output of 3 – 1 Phase transformer between its
Common and Low terminals then between Common and
High terminals.
Check the fuses F1 and F2 (63 Amps HRC Fuses).
Check input supply 230 volts at Line and Neutral inside
control.
Check the MCB, it should give continuity during “ON”
position.
Check the continuity at TS11 –2 and TS11-3. It should
give continuity.
Check the contacts of RE1 contactor. This is a 4 NO NC
contactor. All four contacts should give continuity when
checked with Multimeter by pressing its contacts manually
after disconnecting the mail supply. Also check the
continuity of On switch. It may be defective.
Check the voltage compensator switch. Some times if the
machine is not getting “ON” at a particular station the
voltage compensator switch may be open at that particular
station, to check that select compensator switch at that step
and check the continuity of that particular wire up to Auto
transformer. This wire may be open from this end.
2. Voltmeter showing half Check the three-phase supply at the Main Switch at its
reading input and at the output side. One phase wire may be
disconnected or one phase may be missing from the main
supply.
Check if supply of 3 to 1 phase Transformer is OK at its
input and the output sides.
If 230 Volts input supply to control is available then check
the 0 V wire for voltmeter, it may be open at TS1-1.
If voltage at the back of voltmeter is 230 V but still
voltmeter is showing half reading that means voltmeter is
defective.
3 F1, F2 Blowing off These fuses F1 & F2 are H.R.C. fuses. These will only
while switching ON the blow when the 63 Amps MCB used in machine is not
machine working

1 no. Tap or 12 no. Tap of voltage compensator switch
may be short internally or externally. Due to this heavy
current will flow through line or neutral and fuses may
blow.
If MCB is functionally OK then it will trip. If MCB is not
working then F1 & F2 will blow within seconds.
4 F3 Blowing while F3 fuse is connected in series with all relays, which are
switching ON the working on 230 AC directly i.e. RE16, RE2, RE6, RE8,
machine and RE9 & RE10 & also connected in series with Fluoro
filament circuit. So this fuse will blow due to some
problem in any one of these relays or circuit.
For checking problem in relays or particular relay circuit,
disconnect terminal TS8-6 (230 Volts Supply for all the
relays) and check if fuse is blowing. If fuse is not blowing
now, then there is problem in some relay section. Check
all the relays coils by disconnecting all relay coils one by
one. The coil of any relay may be short internally or with
the ground.
If all the relays coils are OK then there may be fault in
Flouro filament circuit. Check the continuity of TS8-6 &
TS10-3 with GND or body of machine. If meter is
showing any continuity then FmA pot, or 400 ohm, 150 w
is getting shorted with body of machine. Also if the XS
terminal is getting short with GND this fuse will blow. To
check this disconnect TS12-3 from control and check
continuity.
In case of the machines with I.I.TV combinations, I.I.
supply, Camera supply or the Trolley supply may be short.
To check the camera supply, disconnect the wires from
TS17-57 & TS17-55 (This terminal strip is on the top of
the auto transformer & supplies 12 Volts AC to the input
of SMPS or regulated Camera supply). If the fuse does not
blow now, then there is a problem in this supply.
To check the I.I. supply, disconnect wires from TS6-1 &
TS6-4 wires (This is 230 Volts AC supply for the I.I.). If
I.I. is rated at 230 V AC then this supply will directly go
to TS19-3 & TS 19-4. If the I.I. is rated at 24 Volts DC
then this supply will come to TS19-3 & TS19-4 through a
SMPS or a regulated supply. If the fuse does not blow now
, then this supply may be short.
To check the trolley supply, disconnect TS6-6 or TS11-12.
If the fuse does not blow now, then trolley supply may
short with GND.

5 F4 Blowing off while ABS Transformer used in SCR firing Circuit may be
switching ON the defective to check this disconnect TS 6-2 to bypass the
machine SCR Circuit.
F4 fuse is connected in series with neutral supply all
relays, which are working on 230 AC directly i.e. RE16,
RE2, RE6, RE8, and RE9 & RE10. So this fuse will blow
due to some problem in any one of these relays or circuit.
For checking problem in relays or particular relay circuit,
disconnect terminal TS8-6 (230 Volts Supply for all the
relays) and check if fuse is blowing. If fuse is not blowing
now, then there is problem in some relay section. Check
all the relays coils by disconnecting all relay coils one by
one. The coil of any relay may be short internally or with
the ground.
In case of the machines with I.I.TV combinations, I.I.
supply, Camera supply or the Trolley supply may be short.
To check the camera supply, disconnect the wires from
TS17-57 & TS17-55 (This terminal strip is on the top of
the 12 Volts AC supply to the input for the SMPS or for
regulated Camera supply). If the fuse does not blow now
then there is a problem in this supply.
To check the I.I. supply, disconnect wires from TS6-1 &
TS6-4 wires (This is 230 Volts AC supply for the I.I.). If
I.I. is rated at 230 V AC then this supply will directly go
to TS19-3 & TS 19-4. If the I.I. is rated at 24 Volts DC
then this supply will come to TS19-3 & TS19-4 through a
SMPS or a regulated supply. If the fuse does not blow now
, then this supply may be short.
To check the trolley supply, disconnect TS6-6 or TS11-12.
If the fuse does not blow now, then trolley supply may
short with GND.
6 Overload Indicator Check F9 fuse (2 Amp). It may be blown.
Glowing Continuously Timer card may be defective – replace the card.
Over load card may be defective.
There may be no supply to the Timer Circuit. For this
check the supply at TS7 –11 & TS7 –12 it should be 24 V
AC.
Check the thermal contacts at tube and in the control. The
thermal contact wire may be open from any side then the
machine will show continuous over load.
Check any dry soldering on over load chain provided on
timer switch.
In the case of double tank, if the wire A0 is open from any
side i.e. from control or tank then this problem will occur.

switching ON the cracks.
Machine or LBD Check for grounding of LBD supply due to shorting in
connector.
Check for grounding of LBD supply due to shorting in
lamp holder.
Check for Auto cut-off PCB in LBD for shorting of LBD

changing mA station may be short. Also ensure that AC supply at TS 17 – 7 or
17 – 8 (TS –17 is on Auto transformer). It should not be
more than 9 V AC.
If fuse is still blowing then there may be the possibility
that the diode 4148 used in mAs display card is short. To
check this, disconnect the mAS card from main connector
& check again for blowing of fuse.
10 Fuse F9 Blowing off Timer card, Over load card or Flouro Timer Card may be
while switching ON the faulty, So, disconnect these cards one by one and check
machine or Ready blowing of fuse.
pressing Check the coils of RE12, RE14, RE13, RE4, RE7, and
RE11 relays. All the relays are 24 V DC relays if the coil
of any relay is short then this problem may arise.
Any indicator i.e. Over load indicator or X-ray indicator, if
short may cause this problem. Check all the above
indicators with the help of Multimeter for short circuit.

pressing Ready switch to tube rotor from control TS5-1 to 1, TS5-2 to 2, and
TS5-3 to 3 (1, 2, 3 are the rotor connection terminals in X-
Ray tube on Anode i.e. +ve side).
Also check the continuity of three wires after
disconnecting from one side.
Also check the F9, F6, and F5 fuses.
Check whether RE2 relay is getting “ON” or not. If relay
is working then check the RE2 relay contacts RE2-D,
RE2–H and RE2- C.
Also check the continuity of current transformers in rotor
circuit in control.
14 Fuse F5 Blowing off Current transformer may be defective. To check this,
when Ready switch is remove TS5-4 wire and short this wire with TS14-2. Also
pressed short the contacts of RE3A relay in rotor circuit. Now
check the rotor working. If the rotor is working OK then
this means that the Current transformer is faulty. Change
the current transformer.

remove TS 14-2 and check the working of the fuse.

the coil resistance. If RE4 relay is not getting ON even if
supply to RE4 relay is available then replace the RE4
relay. (Coil resistance of RE4 may be around 240 Ohms).
If RE4 relay is not getting any supply and RE3 relay and
its contacts are working properly then there is a problem in
