Display Station Models 1 and 2
Troubleshooting Guide

SY27-2314-5

Preface

The IBM 3270 Information Display System consists of
control units, display stations, printers, and optional
feature devices. This manual contains all the information
required to maintain IBM 3277 Display Stations and
features such as keyboards, selector-light pen, magnetic
card reader, security keylock, and audible alarm. The
purpose of this manual is to present maintenance and repair
information rather than theory of operation information.
This manual is organized in eight sections. Sections 1
and 2 contain introductory and maintenance background
material. Sections 3, 4, and 5 contain the Symptom Index,
Troubleshooting Diagrams, and repair data. These three
sections contain all diagnostic procedures and repair information necessary to correct a display station malfunction.
Miscellaneous reference data is included in Section 6.
Section 7 contains location diagrams to aid in identifying
and locating the display station components referenced in
other sections of this manual. Instructions for installing the
display station are presented in Section 8.
To successfully use this manual and repair IBM 3277
display stations, maintenance personnel should have a level
of training equivalent to the 3270 system basic FE course.
Because the 3277 attaches to both local and remote control
units, an understanding of the control unit to which the
display station is attached is also helpful.

The titles and form numbers of the two control unit
Trou bleshooting Guides are listed below under
"Companion Manuals". Both Troubleshooting Guides contain a glossary of terms that are applicable to control units
and display stations.

Section 1. Maintenance Approach

1.1

INTRODUCTION

Maintenance of IBM 3277 Display Stations (including
repair and adjustment of Model 1 and Model 2 units) and of
attached features is described in this manual. Features that
can be attached to a 3277 include keyboards, a selector
light-pen, and an operator identification card reader.
The objective of display station maintenance is to return
the failing unit to customer service as quickly as possible.
This manual guides the Customer Engineer through
procedures that enable him to adjust or replace a
malfunctioning component.
1.1.1 Online/Offline Maintenance

1.1.3.2 Troubleshooting Diagrams

The Customer Engineer is directed to Troubleshooting
Diagrams from the Symptom Index. The diagrams detail
procedures to isolate a failing F RU or an out-of-tolerance
adjustment. The diagrams call out specific checks and
observations that shou Id be made during the diagnostic
procedure. The logic probe test device is used in many of
the diagrammed procedures.
1. 1.3.3 Diagnostic Programs

Two types of diagnostic programs may be available to the
Customer Engineer. Diagnostic program aids are described
in Section 2 of this manual.

Display Station maintenance and testing can be performed
online and/or offline. It is better, however, to service the
unit offline when possible because it eliminates the
possibility of interaction with other units of the display
system. Unnecessary delays in normal customer information processing are thereby avoided. The maintenance
approach described in this manual is structured to perform
offline analysis first to resolve reported troubles.

Special tools are not required to maintain 3277 Display
Stations. The basic Customer Engineer tool kit, the IBM
volt-ohmmeter, and the logic probe can successfully isolate
most display station problems. An oscilloscope may be
required in some instances when the basic tools fail to
resolve a problem.

1.1.2 Field Replaceable Units (FRU)

1.2 TROUBLE ANAL VSIS

Component replacement is limited to certain fieldreplaceable units (FRU). When the trouble is isolated to an
FRU the unit should be replaced immediately rather than
repaired. The FRU parts replacement philosophy is
practical because functionally packaged logic and densely
packed components are used throughout the display
station.

The sequence in which display station trouble analysis is
performed is important in minimizing machine down-time.
Diagram 1-1 shows the five-step procedure that should be
used to isolate display station failures. The main points of
the display station maintenance approach are summarized
below.

1.1.3.4 Customer Engineer Tool Kit

1.2.1 Obvious Symptoms
1.1.3 Troubleshooting Aids
Several tools are available to the Customer Engineer to
simplify trouble analysis. The following paragraphs describe
these aids.
1.1.3.1 Symptom Index

The Symptom Index (Section 3) lists (by category)
malfunctions that may be encountered on display stations.
The categories include such areas as display malfunctions,
power malfunctions, keyboard malfunctions, etc. In each
category, subcategories specify unique trouble areas. The
subcategories direct the Customer Engineer to an entry in
the Troubleshooting Diagrams (Section 4), which contain
step-by-step isolation procedures. In some cases, the
Symptom Index points directly to a replaceable unit
causing the problem.

Obvious symptoms are those that do not require any
operator or Customer Engineer action to bep>me evident.
Failures that could cause obvious symptoms to occur
include display image quality and positioning, mechanical
problems, and component breakage. These failures should
be remedied by going directly to the Symptom Index or to
the appropriate adjustment or removal procedure in Section
5. Use the first entry that matches the failure.
1.2.2 Isolation to a Display Station
If an obvious symptom does not exist on a display station,
the cause of the failure must be isolated between the
control unit and the display station. Sheet 1 of the
Troubleshooting Diagrams describes the procedure for
isolating the cause of a failure to either the control unit,
connecting coaxial cable, or display station.

(Use first entry

Once it is determined that the display station is the cause of
a failure, an offline symptom should be developed. A quick
offline test of the display station is described in paragraph
3.2. That test should expose a repairable symptom. Stop
the test as soon as a symptom becomes evident, and match
the symptom with one listed in the Symptom Index. Use
the first entry that matches the failure. The Symptom
Index tells what corrective action should be taken .

(Paragraph 3.2).

If an offline symptom does not become evident, the entire
display station, including features, must be tested with the
buffer formatted. The procedure described in paragraph
5.1.1 should be used with Test Pattern 1 to develop a
symptom. Stop the test as soon as a symptom becomes
evident, and match it in the Symptom Index. Use the first
entry that matches the failure. The Symptom Index tells
what corrective action should be taken.

·n 1·1. 3277 Malfltenance Approach

It may be necessary to work with a customer-reported
failure if a symptom cannot be developed offline or with
Test Pattern 1 using the procedures described in the
preceding paragraphs. Try to duplicate the conditions that
existed when the customer failure occurred. Match the
duplicated symptom in the Symptom Index and perform
the corrective action indicated. Use the first entry that
matches the failure. If the originally reported failure cannot
be duplicated, it must be assumed that it was an operator
error or an interm ittent failure that has failed to reappear.

Section 2. Tools and Diagnostic Programs

This section describes the tools and programmed diagnostic
aids used to maintain 3277 Display Stations. A comprehensive description of the logic probe is included because
proper use of this tool is essential to successful display
station maintenance.

2.1
2.1.1

MAINTENANCE TOO LS

Customer Engineer Tool Kit

The Customer Engineer tool kit contains all basic tools
necessary to maintain IBM 3277 Display Stations. The
standard IBM volt-ohmmeter (VOM) is adequate for all
voltage measurements. The meter's input impedance of
20,000 ohms per volt causes an erroneous reading when
checking the 400V dc power supply. This effect is noted
when a check of that power supply is called out. When
using the VOM, all dc voltage measurements should be
referenced to dc return rather than to frame ground. DC
return and frame ground are at different levels when the
display station is not connected to a control unit.

2.1.2 Oscilloscope
I n some cases of trouble analysis, it may be necessary to use
an oscilloscope. The Tektronix * model 453 oscilloscope, or
equivalent, should be used when an oscilloscope is required.
However, the logic probe is recommended for use,
whenever possible, rather than an oscilloscope.

2.1.3 Logic Probes
Either of two styles of logic probes can be used to probe
signal levels while using the Troubleshooting Diagrams or
FE ALDs. The older-style probe (PN453652) is described
completely in the following paragraphs and shown in
Diagram 2·1 A. The newer General Logic Probe (G LP) is
shown in Diagram 2-18. An available GLP Kit (PN 453212)
includes the G LP, standard accessories, and the General
Logic Probe Manual, SY27-0113. The manual describes the
features of the GLP, the functions and limitations of each
feature, and a checkout procedure. (That information is not
duplicated here, so the user is referred to SY27-0113.)
A probe should be obtained from Mechanicsburg by all
Customer Engineers who service 3270 units. Normal toolordering procedures should be used to obtain the probe.

2. 1.3. 1 Description
The logic probe (Diagram 2-1 A) is a self-contained device
consisting of an anodized aluminum tube with a red and
green indicator incorporated near the probe end. A cable
containing two wires and SL T-type push-on terminals leads
from the sealed top end of the probe. A plastic head with a
threaded stud is at the probe end of the device. Red and
green indicators tell the state of the net being probed. The
three signal states that can be distinguished are: (1) a solid
plus level, (2) a solid minus level, and (3) a pulse or the
presence of pulses. The two wires with the SL T-type
push-on connectors are attached to pins on the back of the
logic board being probed. They carry the operating voltage
(+5V dc and ground) for the probe. An oscilloscope probe
tip screws on the threaded stud at the tip of the probe. This
carries the input signals to the indicators.
2.1.3.2 Probe Usage
To use the logic probe, a probe tip must be attached to the
threaded stud. An SL T probe tip (PN 453163, or
equivalent) should be used. The two wires at the top of the
probe are attached to the back of the logic board being
probed. The leads are clearly labeled: GND and +6V.
Connect the GND lead to any D08 pin, and connect the
+6V lead to any D03 pin (+5V dc). The leads are connected
to the board by pushing the connector at the end of each
lead onto the designated pin. When the last wire is
connected, the red indicator should light.
Connect the oscilloscope probe tip to the pin designated
in the Troubleshooting Diagrams or as determined in logic.
The following conditions can be observed by the logic
probe:
1. Red indication
a. Probe not attached to a pin (floating condition), or
b. Plus signal on the net being probed.
2. Green indication - Ground (negative) signal on the net
being probed.
3. Red and green indication - A pulsing signal (alternately
plus and ground) is present on the net being probed.
This condition can appear either as the red and the green
indicator pulsing on and off, or as both indicators
seemingly on at the same time (depending on the
frequency of the pulsing signal). Single pulses can also be
seen.
2.1.3.3 Probe Checkout
Note: This checkout procedure applies to the Older-style
logic probe (PN 453652). G LP checkout is described in
General Logic Probe Manual, SY27-0113, which accompanies the GLP.

Power must be applied to the 3277 during this procedure.
1. Attach probe tip to probe. Use SL T probe tip PN
453163 or similar.
2. Connect probe GN 0 lead wire to any 008 pin.
3. Connect probe +6V lead wire to any 003 pin. Probe's
red indicator should light as soon as this wire is attached.
4. Touch probe tip to any 003 pin. Probe's red indicator
should remain lighted.
5. Touch probe tip to any 008 pin. Probe's green indicator
should light and remain lighted as long as probe is on
008 pin.
6. Remove probe tip from 008 pin. Probe's red indicator
should light again.
2.1.3.4 Probe Repair

The logic probe is not field-repairable. If trouble is
experienced during probe checkout, check for the following
conditions:
1. Power is applied to the 3277.
2. Probe leads are on proper source pins.
3. Proper pins are being probed.
If the above conditions are met and the probe fails to
operate correctly, obtain a new probe before troubleshooting the display station.
2.1.4 Alignment Mask
Alignment masks are provided for both display station
models. The mask is used during all display image adjustments. Diagram 2-2 illustrates the Model 1 alignment mask
(PN 2577899), and Diagram 2-3 illustrates the Model 2
alignment mask (PN 2565170). The mask is constructed of
thin, clear plastic. Horizontal and vertical lines printed on
the mask serve as boundaries when the display image
adjustments described in Section 5 are being performed.
Each line is identified by an arrow and a letter designation.
The mask is centered against the CRT, and the tabs on
each edge are tucked under the CRT bezel to keep the mask

in position while adjusting the display image. When the
mask is not being used, it should be stored in or near the
display station.
2.1.5

lOR FE Test Card

This tool (PN 2143816) is a magnetically encoded, plastic
test card which conforms to American Banking Association
specifications in respect to size, format, and coding. A
37-character test message is encoded on the magnetic stripe
on the back of the card. A start-of-record (SOR) character
precedes the message, and an end-of-card character and a
check character follow the message. The SOR character
initiates the read operation but is not transferred to the
display station. The card is used to check the performanct~
of the operator identification card reader. Two test cards
are shipped with each card reader.

2.2 DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMS
Diagnostic programs provide test patterns and interactive
tests to al ign and exercise 3277 Model 1 and Model 2
Display Stations on both local and remote control units.
The programs reside in the host CPU program and can be
called in by the display station when they are required. The
two diagnostic programs that apply to 3277's are Requests
for Test (RFT) and Online Tests (OLT). Some systems may
not include OL Ts since this is optional to the customer.
Most systems will have RFTs. The following paragraphs
describe the test patterns and the methods for calling them
in to the display station when R FTs or OL Ts are available.
2.2.1

Test Patterns

Six test patterns are included in RFTs and OL Ts. Four
patterns are used to troubleshoot and align 3277 Display
Stations. Model 1 display stations use patterns 1, 2, and 5;
Model 2 display stations use patterns 1, 3, and 5. (patterns
4 and 6 are used by printers and are not described here.)
EBCDIC, ASCII, and World Trade Corporation display
stations use these patterns. EBCDIC test patterns are shown
in Diagrams 2-4 through 2-7. Some characters will differ
from those shown for patterns 1 and 5 if the display station
uses the ASCII code or a WTC language. The differences for
those patterns are summarized in Diagram 2-8.
2.2.1. 1 Test Pattern 1 (Diagram 2-4)
Test Pattern 1 is a functional test that thoroughly checks
the display station. All available characters are displayed.
The pattern contains protected data fields, numeric fields,
high-intensity fields, nondisplay fields, and selector-pendetectable fields. The field marked "NON DISPLAY" in
Diagram 2-4 is not displayed on the screen but is included
in the illustration to show that a programmed nondisplay
field is in the display buffer. The audible alarm feature is
also tested by this pattern.

2.2.2 Requesting RFT Patterns

2.2.1.2 Test Pattern 2 (Diagram 2-5)

Test Pattern 2 is used to align the Modell display image as
described in paragraph 5.2.1. All data is protected and
displayed in normal intensity. The audible alarm (if
installed) sounds when this pattern appears on the screen.

22.1.3 Test Pattern 3 (Diagram 2-6)
Test Pattern 3 is used to align the Model 2 image as
described in paragraph 5.2.1. All data is protected and
displayed in normal intensity. The audible alarm (if
installed) sounds when this pattern appears on the screen.

22.1.4 Test Pattern 5 (Diagram 2-7)
Test Pattern 5 loads the display station buffer with all
available uppercase and lowercase character codes. The

2-4

RFT patterns can be requested for 3277 Display Stations
attached to a local control unit (3272) or to a remote
control unit (3271). Patterns can be requested from one
display station to be displayed on another. To display
patterns, the controlling CPU must be operating under as
BTAM (Operating System Basic Telecommunications
Access Method) or DOS BTAM (Disc Operating System
Basic Telecommunications Access Method), and the application program must be set up to accept test requests. The
system programmer can verify that the requirements to
request RFT patterns are met. The eight test patterns (four
EBCDIC and four ASCII) that can be requested by RFTs
and their identification numbers are listed in Diagram 2-9.

Section 5. Checks, Adjustments, and Removals

This section contains all alignment, adjustment, and
removal procedures nece~ry to maintain IBM 3277
Display Stations. It also contains service checks and
checkout procedures to determine whether adjustments are
required and to verify the accuracy of any adjustments
made.

5.1 CHECKS
5.1.1 Display Station Test Using Test Pattern 1
A comprehensive test of the display station and all attached
features is performed by using diagnostic Test Pattern 1 and
the procedures described in the following paragraphs. The
step-by-step procedures describe the sequence in which the
various operations should be performed and the results
expected of each operation.
The tests should be performed in the sequence
presented, because each test is dependent on data left on
the screen from preceding tests. The observations described
in paragraph 5.1.1.1 apply to all display stations. Further
testing depends on what features are attached to the display
station.
If a problem is discoverect while performing this operational test, refer to the Symptom I ndex or the Troubleshooting Diagrams to resolve the problem.
5.1.1.1 Initialization and Observations

1. Load Test Pattern 1 on display station being checked.
(See paragraph 2.2.1 for instructions for loading Test
Pattern 1.) SYSTEM AVAILABLE is the only indicator
that should be on after pattern is loaded.
2. Take display station offline by removing control unit
signal cable. Jack is located at front of display station,
under front cover. Do not turn power off while
removing cable or Test Pattern 1 wi" be lost.
3. Compare image on screen with expected image shown in
Diagram 2-4. The "NON DISPLAY" field should be
blank. Top two rows are displayed in normal intensity,
next two rows are displayed in high intensity, and half
of last row is displayed in high intensity.
4. Check for only one cursor. Cursor should be in first
character position of second row of displayed data.
5. Check quality of displayed image. Image should not be
tilted or blurred, and characters should be formed
properly with correct inter-row spacing.
6. Vary Brightness control. Set it where high intensity
characters have proper brightness.

5.1.3 Voltage Clecks
A ferroresonant transformer (ferro) with a 110V ac primary
and multiple secondary taps provides all display station
voltages. (World Trade Corporation display stations use a
ferro with a tapped primary winding.) The ferro is
protected by fuse F 1 in series with its primary winding. F 1
is located in the prime power box. Display station voltages
consist of low dc voltages, high dc voltages, and 6.3V ac
CRT filament voltage. These voltages can be checked at the
LV printed circuit (PC) board or at Terminal Board 1
(TB1).
Refer to the Symptom Index and Troubleshooting
Diagrams if a voltage is incorrect or is missing.

5.1.3.1

Low-Voltage DC Checks

Modell: For +8V and -12V, measure the low dc voltages at
the capacitor screws on the LV printed circuit board.
Diagram 7-9 shows the location and the polarity of the
capacitor screws. Remove the left side cover for access to
the circuit board. For +5V and +34V, measure the voltages
at the fuse holders at A/F 1-B for +5V and A/F2-B for +34V
(Diagram 7-3).
Model 2: For +8V and -12V, measure the low dc voltages
through the access holes in the shield that covers the
printed circuit board. A line with arrowheads at each end
designates the pairs of terminals associated with each
voltage. For +5V and +34V, measure the voltages at the
fuse holders at 01C/F 1-8 for +5V and 01C/F2-B for +34V
(Diagram 7-E). Diagram 7-10 illustrates the PC board shield.
Remove the front cover for access to the circuit board.
Observe the polarities of the terminals, and probe with
the correct test leads to prevent damage to the meter. The
following voltages can be measured at the PC board:

2. Check for bent capacitor leads that are too close to
other components and could cause arcing.
3. Check for broken capacitors or other components
showing obvious damage.
Model 1 Resistance Checks:

5.1.3.2 High-Voltage Check
The only high voltage that should be checked is the +400V
dc (which is derived from the HV power supply). If this
voltage is correct, the other high voltages for the CRT
should also be corre~t. Because the +400V is a low-current
supply, it is impossible to obtain an accurate measurement
with the standard voltmeter. Check the arc-suppression
circuitry whenever HV troubles occur.
1. Turn power off.
2. Set voltmeter selector switch to a position that will
measure up to +400V dc.
3. Connect minus (-) meter lead on any dc return
terminal.
4. Connect plus (+) meter lead to HV power supply
terminal 2 (Diagram 7-14) by sliding push-on connector
back slightly.
5. Turn power on.
6. Check for a meter indication of +400V ±50V dc.
(Because this voltage is a low-current supply, it is
impossible to measure the +400V dc operating voltage
with the IBM meter; therefore, the wide range of ±50V
is given.) If voltage is correct, turn power off, remove
test leads from term ina Is, and check the arc-suppression
circuitry (paragraph 5.1.3.3). If voltage is incorrect,
proceed with steps 7 -10.
7. Turn power off.
8. Remove push-on connectors from HV power supply
terminals 1 and 2.

9. Turn power on.
10. Check again for +400V ±50V dc on terminal 2. If
voltage is correct, turn power off, remove test leads
from terminals, reconnect power supply push-on connectors, and check the arc-suppression circuitry
(paragraph 5.1.3.3). If voltage is still incorrect, change
the HV power supply (paragraph 5.3.2.10).
5.1.3.3 Arc-Suppression Check
A defective arc-suppression circuit may appear as a defective HV power supply or analog card. If excessive trouble is
experienced with either of the two assemblies, check the
5-4

1. Turn power off.
2. Remove arc-suppression board from its socket.
3. With the CE VOM, check between the following pairs of
pins on the arc-suppression board for the resistances
specified:
E7 and E13 - Infinity
E9 and E13 - 1 Megohm
E7 and E14 - Infinity
El0 and E14 - 1 Megohm
4. Replace the arc-suppression board if the resistances are
not correct.
Model 2 Resistance Checks:
1. Turn power off.
2. Disconnect wires from voltage distribution board terminals 12, 13, 14, and 15.
3. With the CE YOM, check between the following pairs of
pins on the voltage distribution board for the resistances
specified:
12 and 13 - 1 Megohm
13 and 16 - Infinity
14 and 16 - Infinity
14 and 15 - 1 Megohm
4. Replace voltage distribution board if the resistances are
not correct.
If the above checks do not reveal an obvious fault in the
arc-suppression circuit and if excessive trouble persists,
change the arc-suppression board (Model 1) or the voltage
distribution board (Model 2). Return to Diagram 4-1, sheet
4, if the checks were performed as a result of instructions in
the troubleshooting diagrams.
5.1.3.4 6.3VAC Check
The CRT filament voltage of 6.3V ac (±10%) is the only ac
voltage used in the display station. A quick check to
determine if 6.3V ac is present is to look for a glowing
filament at the back of the CRT ne~k, near the tube socket.
The CRT cone shield must be removed to see filament (par.
5.3.3.2, steps 1-3). This voltage is protected by fuse F 1
located on the LV PC board.
1. Turn power off.
2. Set voltmeter selector switch to a position that will
measure 6.3V ac.

3. Remove fuse Fl. (Remove shield for access on Mode! 2
display stations.)
4. Connect a meter lead on each end of fuse holder.
5. Tum power on.
6. Check for a meter indication of 6.3V ac.
7. Turn power off, and remove meter leads from fuse
holder.
8. Reinstall fuse and shield (if removed).

5.1.3.5 High-Voltage Power Supply Check
1. Turn power off.
2. Remove HV power supply leads 3 (UV) and 4 (DC
retu rn). See Diagram 7 -14.
3. Set CE VOM selector switch to RX10 position.
4. Measure resistance between HV power supply pins 3 and
4.
5. Reverse meter leads and measure again.
6. Replace HV power supply (par. 5.3.2.10) if readings in
step 4 or 5 indicate a shorted or open condition.
5.1.4 Keyboard Checks
Two different style keyboards may be found on IBM 3277
Display Stations. Both are identical in operation and vary
only slightly in external appearance. The rows of keys on
Type A" keyboards have an even slope downward from
top to bottom. The rows of keys on Type "B" keyboards
are slightly concave. The two types can be distinguished
with the keyboard cover removed by observing the location
and type of cable connection and the location of the +5V
regulator (large transistor on heat sink). The Type A
keyboard cable plugs into the rear edge of the printed
circuit board, and the regulator is located in the left corner
of the circuit board. The Type B keyboard cable plugs into
a 24-pin SL T connector which is mounted in the left corner
of the circuit board, and the regulator is located in the right
corner of the circu it board.

The following paragraphs contain check procedures
which can be used to isolate keyboard problems. When the
check procedure differs for the different keyboard types (A
and B), the differences are noted. Ensure that the correct
procedure is used. Keyboard problems can be isolated to
one of three possible areas:
1. External to the keyboard.
2. A FRU in the keyboard.
3. The keyboard assembly. (Type A assembly consists of
circuit board with key modules; Type B assembly
consists of circuit board and electronics assembly with
key modules in an all-keys assembly.)
Problems external to the keyboard should be diagnosed as
outlined in the Troubleshooting Diagrams. Keyboard FRUs
include keybuttons, switch modules, spacebar assembly,
support modules (Type A only). circuit board and elec-

tronics assemblv (Type B only), and the audible response
device. Do not attempt to repair any other keyboard units.
While performing the following checks, the keyboard
assembly' should be visually inspected for shorts or grounds
that could cause erratic operation or erroneous results.
A faulty keyboard assembly should be replaced with a
good one. A faulty Type A assembly should be returned to
the factory if it is less than one year old. The date code is
marked on Type A keyboard assemblies by week (01-52)
and year.
5.1.4.1

Voltages

Type A Keyboards (See Diagrams 7-7 and 7-8 for Type A
keyboard locations):
1. Check for -12V dc between KB 1 pins Z(-) and X
(ground).
2. Check for +8V dc between KB1 pins V(+) and X
(ground).
3. Check for +5V dc across keyboard capacitor C1. This
voltage is developed (by the voltage regulator on the
keyboard assembly) from the display station +8V dc
power supply. Replace the keyboard assembly if the
+8V dc is correct and the +5V dc is not correct.
Type 8 Keyboards (See Diagram 7-19 for Type B keyboard
locations) :
1. Check for -12V dc between KB 1 pin 002 (-) and 008
(ground).
2. Check for +8V dc on one of the voltage regulator
terminals (under the circuit board and electronics
assembly) and +5V dc on the other terminal. Reference
the meter negative (-) lead to test pin 008. Input to the
regulator is +8V dc, and the output is +5V dc. Replace
circuit board and electronics assembly if the +8V dc is
correct and the +5V dc is incorrect. Check KB 1
connector and display station power supply if +8V and
+5V are incorrect.
5.1.4.2 Key Module and Encoding - Type A Keyboards
Only (Diagram 6-11)

Correctly functioning key modules present two active
(2.5V dc minimum) input lines to the keyboard assembly
encoder. With two and only two active inputs present, the
encoder generates the strobe signal and the encoded
character output. This procedure checks that the strobe
s;gnal is generated properly, and the key modules activate
only two inputs to the encoder. Replace the key module if
it is found to be defective. Replace the keyboard assembly
if the encoder or the printed circuit board is defective.
Strobe check:
1. Set selector switch on vol t-ohmmeter to a position that
will accurately measure 5V dc.
2. Place minus (-) meter lead on KB 1 tab X (ground).
3. Place plus (+) meter lead on KB 1 tab R (strobe signal).

Note bit configuration of encoded output. With logic
probe, a red indication is a 1 bit, and a green indication
is a 0 bit. With voltmeter, greater than 2.5V is a 1 bit,
and less than 0.6V is a 0 bit.
Find code in Diagram 6-5 or 6-6 that corresponds to bit
configuration observed in step 9.
Check center two lead frame terminals of suspected
module for 2.5V or higher. (Keyboard assembly must
be removed from bottom pan for this voltage check.
See paragraph 5.3.5.3.)
Replace defective module if 2.5V or higher is measured
on both center terminals in step 11.
If only one terminal measures 2.5V or higher and other
measures 0.6V or less, recheck steps 8 through 11. If
same results are obtained, replace keyboard assembly.
Replace keyboard assembly if less than 0.6V is
measured in step 11.

5.1.4.4 Shift Key Modules - Type A Keyboards Only

Two SHIFT keys and the shift LOCK key (NUMERIC and
NUM LOCK keys on data entry keyboards) generate an
input signal to the keyboard assembly encoder. The
encoder generates upshift character codes of the characters
appearing on the top half of the keyboard keys. The
following procedure isolates a shift module failure.
1. Set volt-ohmmeter selector switch to a position that will
accurately measure up to +5V dc.
2. Place minus (-) meter lead on KB 1 tab X (ground).
3. Check all three shift keys individually for 2.5V
(minimum) on both center leads of the corresponding
key module when each key is pressed and for O.6V
(maximum) when key is restored.
4. Replace shift module that fails to generate proper levels
on both leads.
5. If shift module generates proper levels, and keyboard
generates incorrectly shifted characters (5.1.4.3), replace
keyboard assembly.
5. 1.4.5 Spacebar Assembly Mechanical Checks
The spacebar assembly and mountings should be checked
for easy motion and freedom from binds. The spacebar
should depress and return to the restored position without
drag or binds. Replace the spacebar assembly if binds,
broken mountings, or bent components are discovered. It
may not be necessary to replace the spacebar module
(actuator) if the problem is mechanical.
5.2 ADJUSTMENTS

The unshifted and shifted codes for a" keys on both type
keyboards can be checked by the following procedure,
which uses the logic probe and Diayram 6-5, 6-6, or 6-7.
1. Press and release desired key. Hold SHIFT (NUMERIC
on data entry keyboards) key down while pressing key if
desired character is on top half of keybutton.
2. Probe pins listed below with logic probe, and note bit
configuration observed. A red (UP} indication is a 1 bit,
and a green (DOWN) indication is a 0 bit.
Pin (lA 1-B2)

3. Compare bit configuration observed in step 2 with
configuration for desired character shown in Diagram
6-5 or 6-6.

Adjustment procedures for the IBM 3277 Display Station
should be performed after it is established that all operating
voltages are correct. Paragraph 5.1.3 details the voltage
checkout procedure.
5.2.1

Display Image Adjustments

A test pattern generated by the diagnostic program provides
the display image to be used during image adjustment. Test
Pattern 2 is used to adjust the Model 1 display image, and
Test Pattern 3 is used to adjust the Model 2 display image.
The procedure for displaying the required test pattern is
described in paragraph 2.2. If the program-generated test
pattern is not used, the test pattern image must be keyed in
from the keyboard. Diagrams 2-5 and 2-6 show Test
Patterns 2 and 3, respectively.
Adjustments should be performed in the sequence listed.
However, if only minor touchup adjustment is required,
analog card adjustments can be made separately. Use

Diagrams 7-1 throu~ 7-6 to locate the adjustments
specified in the following procedu res. The following
equipment is required.

makin J the following adjustments.
Short together the three test pins on analog card. Use a
clip or bare wire. (Pins are located between CHAR
HEIGHT potentiometer and SWEEP INDIC neon.) This
jumper disables vertical deflection and produces a single
horizontal trace across approximate middle of screen.
Loosen yoke clamp and rotate yoke until horizontal
trace is parallel to, or coincides with, horizontal lines on
alignment mask.
Ensure that yoke is firmly seated against CRT bell while
maintaining horizontal alignment obtained in step 3.

5.3 REMOVALS
The following paragraphs describe removal and replacement
procedures for IBM 3277 Display Station FRUs. Where the
procedure for removing and replacing a unit in the Modell
display station differs from the procedure used with the
Model 2 display station, a separate paragraph describing the
unique procedure is presented. All removal and replacement

procedures require that the desired unit has been made
accessible by the removal of necessary cOIIers and made safe
by the removal of power. The top cover can be left on the
display station while performing most maintenance procedures. This provides a degree of safety by keeping the
CRT covered.

8.1 GENERAL

8.2.1

Carefully inspect the display station for any obvious
damage as soon as it arrives on site. Check that all item~
listed in the bills of material are received. It is extremely
important that power-source line voltage is correct and that
primary power connections in the display station are
correct before power is applied to the unit. Do not tum
power on until the following checks are perfonned.

Domestic (USA) models use 115V ac (±10%), 60-Hz,
single-phase line voltage. No internal adjustments are
required for domestic display stations.

8.2 INSTALLATION

Check with the customer, and prace display station in the
location designated by him. If it is necessary to move a
display station, observe good safety procedures.

DANGER
The 3277 Model 2 Display Station weighs about 90
pounds. Two men should be used to move this unit.
Separate the upper chassis from the lower chassis before
trying to move the Model 2 display station alone. (See
paragraph 5.3.2.8, steps 1-7, to separate the two
chasis.)
