Hardware Diagnostic Matrix
Spec Ref #5d2aeb45Required Diagnostic Tools & Instrumentation
Multimeter Probing Targets & Circuit Tolerances
Bench Calibrated ±5%| Test Point / Circuit | Target Nominal Spec | Expected State | Fault Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Logic DC Bus | 3.3V / 5.0V DC (±0.1V) | Stable DC Potential | <2.9V (Brownout / Sag) |
| Thermistor / NTC Sensor | 10kΩ - 100kΩ @ 25°C | Smooth Thermal Curve | 0Ω (Short) or ∞ (Open) |
| Safety Ground / PE Continuity | < 0.5Ω Resistance | Solid Earth Bond | > 1.0Ω (Floating Chassis) |
High-Voltage & Mechanical Safety Isolation
Prior to opening access panels, disconnecting terminals, or probing wiring, perform complete lock-out / tag-out (LOTO). Disconnect all AC mains, DC string isolators, and lithium battery banks. Allow internal smoothing capacitors at least 3 to 5 minutes to dissipate stored residual energy below safe threshold (<30VDC).
