3. Make sure all terminal blocks are rmly connected.
4. ALWAYS use a good digital mulmeter. Voltage levels are crical to proper system operaon. Use an accurate, reliable
mulmeter to test for proper voltages at the start of any service procedure. Voltage requirements are listed under each
component.
NOTE: Check for proper operang voltages before changing the circuit board. If the circuit board needs to be changed, be sure to
remove all power to the TCS3000.
5. NEVER remove a terminal block or jumper with the power on.
6. NEVER install a terminal block or jumper with the power on.
7. NEVER force a terminal block into its locaon.
