SECTION 1 GENERAL

CAUTION

Lead Free Soldered Boards

The circuit boards used in these models have been processed using
Lead Free Solder. The boards ar e identified by the LF logo located
close to the board designation e.g. F1, H1 etc [ see examples ]. The
servicing of these boards requires special precautions to be taken as
outlined below .

FIX2

RM-ED010

example 1

example 2

Lead Free Solder material must be used to comply with environmental requirements of new solder joints. Lead Free Solder is available under
the following part numbers :

52-500-046-7mm2.1gK00.1
62-500-046-7mm6.1gK00.1

Due to the higher melting point of Lead Free Solder the soldering iron tip temperature needs to be set to 370 degrees centigrade. This requires
soldering equipment capable of accurate temperature control coupled with a good heat recovery characteristics.

WARNING (UK Models only)

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused
plug having a fuse of the correct rating for the set. Should the fuse
need to be replaced, use a fuse of the same rating approved by ASTA
to BS 1362, ie one that carries the

IF THE PLUG SUPPLIED WITH THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT SUIT­ABLE FOR THE OUTLET SOCKETS IN YOUR HOME, IT SHOULD
BE CUT OFF AND AN APPROPRIATE PLUG FITTED. THE PLUG
SEVERED FROM THE MAINS LEAD MUST BE DESTROYED AS A
PLUG WITH BARED WIRES IS DANGEROUS IF ENGAGED IN A
LIVE SOCKET.

When an alternative type of plug is used, it should be fitted with the
correct rating fuse, otherwise the circuit should be protected by the
same rating fuse at the distribution board.

FIX2 SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

The identification of errors within the FIX2 chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the
event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous
flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is f aulty . If a device is found to be f aulty the relevant
device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted).

problem).

– Case-2 : Board replacement (MS update is always required wheneve r replacing AE, FB2 or

AV C board in Service).
