REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT WELCHALLYN 690 & 692 - DIGITAL THERMOMETER - ERROR CODES

HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT WELCHALLYN 690&692 -  - ERROR CODES

DIGITAL THERMOMETER

ERROR CODES

E0.1à  Excessive Heater Energy Try another predict cycle. If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.2 à  A/D Measurement out of range error.  Make sure the temperature is within the operating range of 50ºF/10ºC and 104ºF/40ºC  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.4 à Probe Over Temperature (110ºF/43.3ºC).  Make sure the tip temperature is below 110ºF/43.3ºC.  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.5 à  No Probe Temperature Rise. (The heater has no effect.).  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.6 à Probe EEPROM read failure. (Bad EEPROM handshake.).  Verify the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists replace the probe.
E0.7 à Probe EEPROM is un-initialized.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists replace the probe.
E0.8 à EEPROM CRC Failure (EEPROM is corrupted.).  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.9 à Bad probe calibration. Replace with a calibrated probe.
E4.0 à  PTB measurement out of range.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.1 à RCAL measurement out of range.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.2 à Reference power supply malfunction.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.3 à Device EEPROM save failure.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.4 à Device EEPROM starting handshake failure.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.5 à Device EEPROM response failure.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.6 à Transmit failure to the Device EEPROM.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.

Instrument Errors
Instrument Circuitry errors are generated from internal test failures. Instrument errors are displayed as an instrument with an X through it and an error code in the temperature field. In most cases this will represent a broken instrument that needs replacing and the code will tell what error was detected.
Probe Errors
The probe or probe connector can generate errors. Probe errors are displayed as a probe with an X through it and an error code in the temperature field. In most cases this will represent a broken probe that needs replacing and the code will tell what error was detected.  Temperature measuring is prohibited until the error is cleared.
Patient Temperature Out of Range
Patient Temperature Out of Range errors occur when the patient temperature is above 110.0° F or below 80.0° F. During this error, the entire body (head, torso, and legs) displays by blinking with a solid up or down arrow and a thermometer bulb.
Ambient Temperature Out of Range
Ambient Temperature errors occur when the ambient probe temperature is above 104.0° F or below 50.0° F. During an ambient temperature error, the display in the temperature number field shows a capital “A” followed by a blinking up or down arrow and a blinking thermometer bulb.
