TEST AFTER REPAIR OF SWITCH BOARDS AND/OR CAPACITORS

The following test must be performed after the switch boards and/or the capacitors have been replaced.

NOTE: Always make sure that switch boards are changed in matched pairs. Never mix an old style (different part number) switch board with a new style (new part number).

TEST PROCEDURE

1.Turn main power OFF.

2.Perform Input Filter Capacitor Discharge Procedure. See the Maintenance section.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Before continuing with the test procedure, perform the capacitor discharge procedure to avoid electric shock.

3.Connect a shorting conductor across termi- nals 14 and 53 of the protection PC board. See Figure F.29.

4.Set an ANALOG ohmmeter to X1000 range and place the probes on terminals 9 (+) and 12 (–) of one switch board. The meter will show the capacitors charging up and may take a minute or so to stabilize. The final meter reading should not exceed 8600 ohms (8.6 on the scale).

5.Test the other switch board the same way.

NOTE: Repeat the Input Filter Capacitor

Discharge Procedure.

6.Remove the shorting conductor set up in step 3.

7.Replace 20 amp fuses with 5-amp fuses in the input supply fuse holders.

NOTE: These fuses should be installed to pro- tect against excessive current flow caused by a short circuit during the procedure.
