6. Line Driver
If the reset of the motors is heard and seen, but there is no message sent to the PC, then there
may be a problem with the line driver on the Main Electronics board. Ensure that power is turned
off and remove the Main Electronics cover plate and replace IC U11, (on a socket 2 inches up and
2 inches to the left of the LED). Make sure to use proper grounding precautions before touching
the electronics board. Leave the cover plate off and turn on the instrument. The motors should be
observed to reset and if the computer was left in the serial communications program, the Brewer
reset message will be displayed on the screen. Exit the communications program and launch the
Brewer operating program. Normal Brewer commands can be used for checking correct operation.
7. Check Mode of Microprocessor
If there is still no operation, there may be a firmware problem, or a problem on the Main Electronics
Board, so the functionality of this board should be tested.
There is a Red status LED located near the bottom left hand side of the board - it should be
flashing slowly in ‘Cosmac mode’ as per the following table. If the Brewer is in some other mode
change back to the Cosmac mode (step 10).
