Troubleshooting
Problem Probable Cause Recommended Action
Transformer T1 has an internal
secondary winding or primary
winding short.
Replace T1 or power board. To verify short in
transformer, you must unsolder leads from the
power board and measure winding resistance.
Secondary resistance is 3 ohms. Primary windings
are about 20 ohms each.
Rectifier diode CR2, CR3, CR4,
or CR5 shorted. Check diodes with an ohmmeter and replace or
change power board or CD20 motor control.
Input power fuse F1 is
open.
Input power transformer jumper
is installed incorrectly. Check for jumper across 230VAC to Neutral.
Sample probe jammed or the
motor armature is driving the
probe backwards (CW) against
the cam drop off point.
To isolate the problem, power down and remove
the CD20 from the probe and verify CD20 output
shaft turns CW as you look at it in repeat mode.
Verify sample probe can be turned CCW with a
screwdriver and proper discharge is obtained.
Short across A1 to A2 of CD20
motor output due to a short in
power FET Q3.
Power down, remove motor leads, and verify that
when power is reapplied, the current limit light is
off. Then check motor armature resistance to verify
the short circuit. If motor circuit checks out, replace
CD20 motor control assembly.
Bind-up in gear box. Replace 150:1 ratio gear motor.
Bind-up due to alignment of
adapter plate or hub. Remove adapter plate and hub from gear motor.
Turn on control and see if gear motor will run. If so,
realign and reinstall adapter plate and hub.
Current limit LED is on,
the motor is stopped.
Transistor Q4 or Q2 has failed. Replace CD20 assembly or CD20 power board.
Motor overload. Remove drive from sample probe and run. If the
motor still runs slow, then remove motor from hub
and adapter plate and run.
Current limit LED is on,
motor runs at a slow
speed.
CD20 current limit circuit failure. Replace CD20 motor control.
Input power not on. Check for proper input voltage at 1TB-1 and
1TB-2.
Fuse clips corroded and F1 is
not making contact or fuse F1 is
open.
With power off, check fuse F1 continuity from
1TB-1 through the F1 fuse clips.
Motor does not run.
Jumper E1 is not connected to
1TB-3 or 1TB-4. Connect E1 to 1TB-3 for pulsed mode operation or
1TB-4 for repeat mode operation.
Motor circuit open or leads not
connected to 2TB-1 and 2TB-2. Verify motor wiring. Verify motor impedance by
disconnecting the motor leads and check for an
open armature.
Transistor Q4 or Q2 has failed. Replace CD20 assembly or CD20 power board.
