It also checks the tap selection circuitry. To check the D/A and A/D converters, DAC U332.0n (CPU 46~232828 or U355 on CPU 46264974 is set up so that it will send a KVP DMN-+ signal to the Filament and kVp Control Board. The signal is received by the Filament and kVp Control Board at J2 pins 11 and 12, schematic location 2—D1. The signal leaves this board unaltered as KVP DMN FBK+ at J2 pins 13 and 14, schematic location 2~E4, and returns to the CPU Board on connector J5 pins 13 and 14, sche- ‘matic location 5~EI. Analog buffer AR398 on CPU 46—232828 or AR392.on CPU 46264974 conditions the signal for multiplexer U406 on CPU 46—232828 or U342 ‘on CPU 46—264974, The signal is ultimately read by the processor and compared with the output signal.

The six tap signals go to six identical circuits on the 1kHz Driver Board, schematic sheet 2. On the 1kHz Driver Board these signals are converted to 110 volt coil driving signals and tap feed ‘back logic signals. TAP1 FDBK through TAPS FDBK return to the CPU board Gen- «erator and AECStatus port, schematic location 3—E7. Tap select and feedback signals are compared. If they agree the test passes, By examining the tap feedback circuit, you can see that a shorted coil will produce a {feedback signal. Keep this in mind when running System Block Test. You should hear six (see note) equally spaced clicks of the relays being selected when the tap testis run- ning. Ifyou don't, and the test passes, check the relays. Note that with this firmware, TAPG* is not tested. 31-1 Running System Block Test Ilustration 3~1 shows Block Test selection using the kVp A, kVp, and mAs switches. Shaded boxes illustrates the selection path. Use the following steps to select SYS BLOCK TESTS. 1. Presseither KVP A or kVp until the SYS BLOCK TESTS menu selection appears. 2. Press mAs W. The test starts to run. The prompt changes to ANALOG TEST, then to TAP TEST. If the test passes, PASS appears after the prompt, ifthe test fails FAIL appears after the prompt. ‘When Tap Test runs, you should hear six equally spaced clicks of the relays being selected. 3. End System Block Tests by Pressing and holding MAS until the display goes blank and the test stops. Release MAS A.
