2. Diagnostic Information Start Make a quick visual check for defects (loose or broken parts, unplugged connectors, paper jams, and so on). Voltage, Ground, And Continuity Readings Voltage Readings All DC voltages must be within +5% through -10% of the values to be considered correct. Unless stated otherwise, all connectors should be connected normally when a voltage measurement is done. When a "Line Voltage" measurement is to be done, the voltage on United States and Canada machines should be between 100 V ac and 127 V ac. On World Trade machines, the voltage is according to each country's specification. Ground Checks To check for a correct ground, measure the voltage between the ground and a known good voltage source. The voltage measurement must be the same as the source voltage to consider that the ground is correct. Continuity measurements may be used to check grounds, however, be sure to measure to a known good ground using the lowest ohms scale and check for zero ohms. Note: Always unplug the power cord before doing any continuity measurement. Continuity Readings When measuring continuity, be sure no back circuits affect the measurement. If necessary, unplug connectors to remove any back circuits. Zero the ohm range on the lowest scale (X1). An open circuit will read infinity. A circuit with correct continuity will read zero ohms.
