Troubleshooting Guide

 

 

TESTING THE TORCH

 

 

 

 

 

Motor Check.

Remove the torch connector from the cabinet.

 

 

 

Using the torch Control Cable Connector, check the resistance across pins “A”

 

 

 

and “B” (motor leads). The resistance across the motor should be between 5-10

 

 

 

ohms. If an open circuit or short exist, check the motor leads and motor

 

 

 

independently.

 

 

 

 

Testing the Potentiometer.

Using the torch Control Cable Connector, check the resistance across pin “D”

 

 

 

(wiper) and pin “C”. The resistance should vary from 5K - 0 ohms.

 

 

 

Check the resistance across pin “D” (wiper) and pin “G”. The resistance should

 

 

 

vary from 5K - 0 ohms.

 

 

 

 

Testing the Trigger Switch.

Using the torch Control Cable Connector, check for continuity across pins “E”

 

 

 

and “F” when the trigger is pressed.
