One or more of the outputs are not functioning, others are.

Is an A2192 Chamber Enhancer or A2320 SSR board installed? Observe the LED on the board corresponding to the output. If the LED is turning on and off check the 4 amp pico fuse. Each output has a 4 amp fuse. If the fuse is good check the SSR. Check the ribbon cable connection between the 620A and 2320 board. Check the A2192 to 620A wiring. If some of the outputs are functional and others are not, there is a possibility the output driver line or IC has been damaged. See the procedure below for instructions on how to check the digital outputs.

Serial output information and the +9 VDC are provided to the A2225 board on P4. The 5 VDC regulator provides Vcc for the IC's. U5 is the serial decoder IC. U4 is the photo-isolator IC. The output information is decoded, photo-isolated and distributed to U1 & J03, U2 & J02, and U3 & J01. Measure +9 VDC: TB1 pins 1 (+) and 2 (-). This is an unregulated DC voltage and may read between 9 and 11 VDC. If the voltage is not there, check the 1 amp fuse. TB1 Outputs: All outputs are open collector logic limited to 50 mA and 50 VDC. Connect the Positive meter lead to TB1-1 and the Negative lead to the output pin. When the Output is turned "ON" the meter will read between 9 - 11 VDC. When the output is turned "OFF" the meter will read approximately zero. NOTE ALWAYS determine if an external problem caused the failure prior to changing a driver chip.

U1, U2, & U3 each drive 8 of the 24 outputs shown above. The devices are socketed and are easily replaced. Always remove power to the unit prior to removing and replacing any components on this board. If the output is inoperative, always "on" or if multiple outputs operate at the same time, the driver is damaged. An unused driver may be used as a substitute for a defective one until a replacement is obtained.
