TEST PROCEDURE

1.Remove input power to the LN-10 unit.

2.Using the 5/16 in. nut driver, remove the wire drive cover.

3.Locate the three hall effect leads (blue, red and black). See Figure F.2.

4.Apply the correct input power (42 VAC) to the LN-10.

5.Check for approximately 12 VDC from red lead #512 (+) to black lead #500 (-). If the 12 VDC is NOT present or low, the control board or associated leads or plugs may be faulty. See the Wiring Diagram.

6.Activate the gun trigger. Make sure the motor is running. Check for the pres- ence of approximately 5.0 VDC from blue lead #555 (+) to black lead #500 (-). The 5.0 VDC represents the correct feedback voltage from the hall effect device to the control board.

7.If the above voltage reading is not cor- rect, the hall effect device may need to be adjusted or replaced. See Tach

Adjustment Procedure.
