|
|
| |||||
|
|
| 12VDC (at the pc board) from | ||||
|
|
| lead #216 to frame ground. | ||||
|
|
| This is the “flashing” voltage | ||||
|
|
| and is present only when the | ||||
|
|
| Start, Run, Stop switch S3 is in | ||||
|
|
| the “Start” position. If the 12 | ||||
|
|
| VDC is missing check the leads, | ||||
|
|
| switches | and | connections | ||
|
|
| associated with the lead #216. | ||||
|
|
| See Wiring Diagram. |
| |||
|
|
| Check for the presence of 12 | ||||
|
|
| VDC (at the pc board) from lead | ||||
|
|
| #224 to frame ground. This is | ||||
|
|
| the supply voltage to the board | ||||
|
|
| and is present when the engine | ||||
|
|
| is running and the S3 switch is | ||||
|
|
| in the “Run” position. If the | ||||
|
|
| 12VDC is missing check the | ||||
|
|
| leads, switches and connec- | ||||
|
|
| tions associated with the lead | ||||
|
|
| #224. See Wiring Diagram. | ||||
|
|
| 3. If Rotor Voltage Test is normal, | ||||
|
|
| then | preform | the | Rotor | |
|
|
| Resistance Test. |
|
| ||
|
|
| 4. If the Rotor Voltage Test is NOT | ||||
|
|
| normal, perform | the Auxiliary | |||
|
|
| and | Field | Winding | Voltage | |
|
|
| Test. Then check the Field | ||||
|
|
| Diode Bridge (D2) and the Field | ||||
|
|
| Capacitor (C1). Replace if nec- | ||||
|
|
| essary. If the Field Bridge and | ||||
|
|
| Field Capacitor are good, then | ||||
|
|
| the Printed Circuit Board may | ||||
|
|
| be faulty. Replace. |

CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the test/repairs safely, con- tact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for electrical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call
