The control processor provides unified control of the system components using a single GUI (Graphical User Interface). It translates the user button presses from the touch panel into commands the equipment can understand. It allows for the ease of use by making complex commands as easy as the press of a button.

OPERATIONAL CONTROL

The AVCS (Mini) can be controlled in one of two ways. The standard control interface is the supplied touch panel display that is connected directly to the unit using the included cable. In the absence of the touch panel, a laptop may be connected using a network connection to operate the system via Internet Explorer (IEx). Note that other browsers are not recommended and may not support the AVCS features.

OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX

GENERAL

This WP contains a troubleshooting index of conditions/indications that may develop during maintenance or operation. Maintenance is limited to those failures that may be repaired at the operator level. The troubleshooting index identifies the condition/indication, followed by a column that identifies the work package and page(s) where troubleshooting procedures(s) may be found. These inspections and corrective actions should be performed in the order listed. The index is provided to assist in the quick location of a problem. The manual cannot list all condition/indications that may occur. If a condition or indication is encountered that is not listed or cannot be corrected by the corrective actions provided, notify the supervisor.

TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX

The most important step in troubleshooting is recognizing the conditions/indications and combination of conditions/indications. Use the corrective action for a given condition/ indication in the order listed. If the first repair attempt is unsuccessful, proceed to the next recommended corrective action to resolve the problem. If a fault is encountered that is not listed or that cannot be corrected by the corrective actions provided, notify the supervisor.

Except for the equipment in Table 1, refer to appropriate technical manual(s) for any accessory equipment. Table 1 is provided as a tool to maintain equipment in good operating condition and ready for its primary mission.

WARNING

High voltage and amperage present at electrical connections. Use caution when connecting and disconnecting any electrical connection to prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment.

AC voltage (110/120 VAC), and current sufficient to cause serious injury or death is present at electrical connections. Ensure power is disconnected before entering the AVCS.

CAUTION

If the AVCS (MINI) suddenly loses power, ensure the main power circuit breaker is turned off prior to reapplying power to the system. The sudden power surge may damage internal circuitry or burn out the self-sacrificing power strip.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES

This work package contains general information for troubleshooting the AVCS (MINI) Audio Feed by user level qualified personnel. A qualified person is one who is familiar with this manual, the operation of the AVCS (MINI) and the hazards involved in its operation and maintenance. The work package provides a systematic approach to locating and correcting malfunction of the AVCS (MINI). Each section is arranged according to the condition/indication of a problem. The corrective action items have been arranged in order of complexity, with the simpler actions listed first. Note that troubleshooting causes and actions beyond the scope of operato r level qualified personnel are not included in the WP. If a course of action does not present itself, contact your supervisor.

The most important step of troubleshooting is to gather as much first-hand information as possible from the personnel who were present when the problem or failure occurred. Information as to how long the AVCS (MINI) has been operating, what systems were connected, whether any protective equipment or devices functioned, etc., can also help isolate a problem. Note that if in any doubt about how to proceed, contact your supervisor before taking action.

WARNING

Tools, equipment, clothing and your body must be kept clear of all electrical connections, while power is applied to the system

Voltage sources, in addition to being an electrical shock hazard, may also potentially produce serious burns. Care should be exercised wh en using hand tools around exposed power connectors. Never let tools bridge two terminals.

If the circuit breaker does not stay in the ON position when energized, DO NOT attempt to energize repeatedly. This could cause damage to the surge protector or other components. Instead, investigate and identify the cause of the problem. Correct the situation before attempting to energize breaker again.

To avoid electrical shock and damage to the equipment, ensure the power cable is disconnected at the power source before removing or replacing any cables.
