11.5.12. PMT Preamplifier Board

To check the correct operation of the preamplifier board, we suggest the technician carry out the

electrical and optical tests described in 6.8.5. and 6.8.6. If the

ETEST fails, the preamplifier board

may be faulty.

11.5.13. PMT Temperature Control PCA

The TEC control printed circuit assembly is located on the sensor housing assembly, under the
slanted shroud, next to the cooling fins and directly above the cooling fan.

If the red LED located on the top edge of this assembly is not glowing the control circuit is not
receiving power. Check the analyzers power supply, the Relay boards power distribution circuitry
and the wiring connecting them to the PMT temperature control PCA.

TEC Control Test Points

Four test points are also located at the top of this assembly they are numbered left to right start
with the T1 point immediately to the right of the power status LED. These test points provide
information regarding the functioning of the control circuit.

• To determine the current running through the control circuit, measure the voltage between

T1 and T2. Multiply that voltage by 10.

• To determine the drive voltage being supplied by the control circuit to the TEC, measure

the voltage between T2 and T3.

• If this voltage is zero, the TEC circuitry is most likely open.

Or,

• If the voltage between T2 and T3 = 0 VDC and the voltage measured between T1 and

T2 = 0 VDC there is most likely an open circuit or failed op amp on control PCA itself

• If the voltage between T2 and T3 = 0 VDC and the voltage measured between T1 to T2

is some voltage other than 0 VDC, the TEC is most likely shorted

• T4 is tied directly to ground. To determine the absolute voltage on any one of the other

test points make a measurement between that test point ant T4.
