Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

7.3 MLC Diagnostics

Each multi-line controller (MLC) contains

four red diagnostic LEDs, as shown in

Figure 30. When fiber is properly connected,

the LED labeled DS23 (left side) will be off

and the other LEDs will be on

7.4 Temperature Sensor

Diagnostics

If the display includes a temperature sensor,

the temperature sensor board will provide

diagnostic information. The temperature

sensor board, shown in Figure 31, is located

inside the temperature sensor housing

which hangs near the display. A flashing

DS2 LED indicates that unit is sending

temperature information. It also indicates

that the unit has power.

Refer to Appendix B for temperature sensor mounting and

connections.

7.5 Troubleshooting Display Problems

Some common symptoms that may be encountered in a display and

simple steps to resolve them follow. Solutions are organized by

priority, so try them in order.

Troubleshooting may require removing or replacing modules. Refer

to Section 6: for instructions on this procedure. Make sure power

and signal cables are reconnected correctly and latches are tightly

closed when replacing modules.

Module and LED problems

One or more LEDs will not light

Check/replace ribbon cables on the module.

If that does not help, the module may need to be replaced.
