d. Troubleshooting the Temperature Compen-
sator Circuits. There are three temperature com-
pensators in the tester. One is on the calibrator
board, one is on the temperature board, and one is
on the probe control and function switch board.
With power turned off, check the resistance of the
precision 34K dropping resistor; R5 (19, fig. 4-36)
on the calibrator board, R64 (28, fig. 4-34) on the
temperature board, or R2 (43, fig. 4-37) on the probe
control and function switch board. Do this by lifting
one end of the resistor and measuring it with a digi-
tal multimeter. It shell measure 34K ± 34 ohms at
25° C (77°F). With the end of the resistor still up,
measure the resistance of the compensator between
