FIG. 11 CONTROL BOARD

Location:

The control board is located behind the rear panel, mounted on the back side of the hopper motor mount- ing panel.

Test Procedure:

Liquid Level Control

1.Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.

2.Disconnect the twelve pin connector (J1) from the control board.

3.Check the voltage across pins 2 & 3 of the twelve pin connector on the wiring harness with a voltmeter. Connect the dispenser to the power source and select the “ON” position of the main power switch. The indication must be 24 volts ac.

4.Select the “OFF” position of the main power switch and disconnect the dispenser from the power source.

If voltage is present as described, proceed to #5.

If voltage is not present as described, refer to the wiring diagram and check the dispenser wiring harness.

5.Reconnect the twelve pin connector to the control board (J1).

6.Disconnect the four pin connector (J7) from the control board.

7.Check the voltage across pins 1 & 3 of the four pin connector on the wiring harness with a voltmeter. Connect the dispenser to the power source and select the “ON” position of the main power switch. The indication must be:

a)120 volts ac for 120 volt models.

b)230 volts ac for 230 volt CE models.

8.Select the “OFF” position of the main power switch and disconnect the dispenser from the power source.

If voltage is present as described, proceed to #9.

If voltage is not present as described refer to the wiring diagram and check the dispenser wiring harness.

9.Reconnect the four pin connector to the control board (J7).

10.Disconnect the twelve pin connector (J1) from the control board.

11.Measure the resistance between pins 8 & 12 of the twelve pin connector on the wiring harness using an ohmmeter. The indication must be between 298k ohms and 304k ohms.

If the resistance measures as described, proceed to #12.

If the resistance does not measure as described, refer to the wiring diagram and check the dispenser wiring harness.

12.Carefully connect a piece of insulated jumper wire to the level probe contact pin (pink wire) located at the lower left rear of the dispenser.

13.Check the voltage across the terminals, first of the dispense solenoid and then of the hopper motor with a voltmeter. Connect the dispenser to the power source and select the “ON” position of the main power switch. The indication must be:

a)120 volts ac for 120 volt models.

b)230 volts ac for 230 volt CE models.

at the dispense solenoid and between 4 and 26 volts dc at the hopper motor after a delay of approximately

10seconds.

14.Touch the free end of the jumper wire to the dispenser housing. The indication must be 0 (zero) after a delay of up to 5 seconds.

15.Move the jumper wire away from the housing. The indication must again be:

a) 120 volts ac for 120 volt models.

b) 230 volts ac for 230 volt CE models.

at the dispense valve solenoid and between 4 and

26volts dc at the hopper motor after a delay of up to 5 seconds.

16.Disconnect the dispenser from the power source, remove the jumper wire, and select the “OFF” posi- tion on the main power switch.

If voltage is present as described, The liquid level control circuitry is operating properly.

If voltage is not present as described, replace the control board.
