2. Check for +/-15VDC on the power supply
PCB. Check R6, R7, R8, Q2, Q3, D3, D6.

at pin 6 of the relays (+24V).
2. Check U1 on the Input/Output PCB.
Check potentiometers R101 and R102 for
proper operation. Clean or replace as
needed.
1. Check the diodes tied to the +/-15V lines
on the input module PCB; D7, D8, D9, D10,
D15, D16, D17, D18, D20 and D21.
2. Check the transistors, diodes and resistors
for the +/-15V on the power supply board,
R5, R6, D3, Q2, R8, R9, D6 and Q3.
