AMX3 - With kVp selected, only 85 kVp is produced.
Symptom
AMX3 - With 100 kVp selected, only 85 kVp is produced. During a routine PM with 100 kVp selected, only 85 kVp was produced. All other kVp stations function correctly. Looked for a stuck tap relay. Determined that the a stuck relay was unlikely since one Eprom selects the relays and another Eprom checks the feedback for the correct selection. If the correct relays are not energized, an exposure is inhibited. The FE watched the relays when 100 KVP and when 85 kVp was selected. The same relays were selected for either kVp selection.
