When "FLASH error" (Self-diagnosis Code E:91:**) occurs, to prevent any abnormal situation caused by high voltage, setting of the flash is
changed automatically to disabling charge and flash setting.
After fixing, this setting needs to be deactivated. Connect the adjustment remote commander (RM-95 or NEW LANC JIG) and perform the
following process.

Exif Model Data Check
When you replace to the repairing board, the written data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
When the data has changed because of board replaceing etc, check the data setting (Exif Model Data) is right. If not, rewrite to the right value.

NOTE FOR REPAIR

· Make sure that the flat cable and flexible board are not cracked of bent at the terminal. Cut and remove the part of gilt
Do not insert the cable insufficiently nor crookedly. which comes off at the point.
(Be careful or some
· When remove a connector, dont' pull at wire of connector. It is possible that a wire is snapped. pieces of gilt may be left inside)

· When installing a connector, dont' press down at wire of connector.
It is possible that a wire is snapped.




DISCHARGING OF THE SI-054 BOARD'S CHARGING CAPACITOR (C415)
The charging capacitor (C415) of the SI-054 board is charged
up to the maximum 300 V potential. Note: High-voltage cautions
There is a danger of electric shock by this high voltage when the
capacitor is handled by hand. The electric shock is caused by Discharging the Capacitor
the charged voltage which is kept without discharging when the Short-circuit between the two points with the short jig
main power of the unit is simply turned off. Therefore, the about 10 seconds.
remaining voltage must be discharged as described below.

Preparing the Short Jig
To preparing the short jig, a small clip is attached to each end of
a resistor of 1 k /1 W (1-215-869-11).
Wrap insulating tape fully around the leads of the resistor to
prevent electrical shock. Q401


R:1 k/1 W
(Part code:
1 k/1 W 1-215-869-11)



SI-054 Board


Wrap insulating tape.




NOTE FOR DISCONNECTING THE HARNESS (CD-122)
When disconnecting the harness (CD-122), do not pull the
Harness (CD-122) harness part but pull off the connector body with tweezers etc.
