FlashGuard 2000B Troubleshooting Guide Possible Cause : Ω Diagnostic Test : With all conductors attached, check resistance across the terminals of any C2 capacitor. Resistance should be @ Ω Ω . 1. If resistance is near 0 Ω Ω , conductors to each capacitor, and individually check / replace each capacitor. 2. If resistance is too high, one or more C2 capacitors may a loose connection, or one or more of resistors R2, R3, and R4 may be defective or have a loose connection. Tighten connections to al
