SECTION 1

SELF DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

1-1. RE-3W SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

The identification of errors within the RE-3W 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 faulty. If a device is found to be
faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted) See table 1., non fatal
errors are reported using this method.

1-2. ERROR DETECTION MONITOR

Device acknowledge is used to check IIC errors. Device acknowledge is checked by sending an IIC start sequence during CRT power
on. Each device is checked three times, if there is no acknowledge after each attempt, it will be regarded as an error.
There are three steps to check for errors.

1. IIC line 0
If all devices except the NVM have errors, IIC line 0 error is displayed.

2. Board check
If all devices mounted on one board have errors, board error is displayed.

3. Each device check
if IIC line error and board error are not detected then the device with an error is displayed.

The detected errors can be displayed as follows:

1. Error Monitor Menu

2. Error Reader

7. Read the HV static voltmeter of peak HV voltage.
Spec : 33.7 ~ 35.3 kV

8. If Hold-down voltage is less than 33.7 kV then replace
R9901 of 43 k with that of 39 k , and check if the
voltage is within the spec.

9. If hold-down voltage is over than 35.3 kV then replace
R9901 of 43 k with that of 47 k , and check if the volt­age is within the spec.
