Question
What should I check for error 45F on the AMX-4 Series?
Short Answer
1) Check correct wiring between J5 plug on Filament kVp Board and HV Transformer Tank. 2) Check spark gaps on HV Transformer Tank (0.010 in.). 3) Check that HV cables are not reversed. 4) Check wiring of J4 plug to Filament kVp Board. 5) Check that U18 on Filament kVp Board is #1489, not #14C89. 6) Check/replace Filament kVp Board. 7) Check FIL SHORTED at J2-25 on Filament kVp Board. 8) Check for insufficient filament drive: XS-1 to XS-2 at HV Transformer Tank should be approximately 17 VAC at 52 kVp with PREP. 9) Check for loose J3 on Filter Board.
