Troubleshooting Recommendations:

  1. Is the installed RIPS a MOD.1 or higher? (see AW300-23-0230 for detail)

    1. If the RIPS is a MOD .1 or higher, continue with the next step. 
    2. If the RIPS is not MOD .1 or higher, replace the RIPS with MOD .1 or higher. Do close out. 

  2. Remove the RIPS power supply from the tray.
  3. For testing purposes slave in the CVR in place. Is the fault still present?

    1. If YES, continue with next step.
    2. If NO, replace the RIPS power supply.

  4. Perform a wiring check between the RIPS power supply and the DCU. Repair defective wiring if required.
  5. Do close out.
