TEST PROCEDURE

WIRE SPEED CONTROL POTENTIOMETER

1. Disconnect leads 641, 642 and 535 from the Control Board. (See Figure F.4)

a. Check resistance between lead 535 and lead 641 for a reading of 10k+/-10%.

A low reading or an ʻopenʼ reading indicates a defective potentiometer.

b. Connect the ohmmeter to leads 641 and 642, and rotate the control slowly from min to max speed setting.

The meter should vary smoothly from 10kto 0 .

c. Repeat test ʻbʼ with meter connected to leads 642 and 535.

Any irregularity or ʻskippingʼ in the meter read- ing indicates a defective potentiometer.

d. Check all three leads to the potentiometer case. Reading must be >500kΩ.

VOLTAGE CONTROL POTENTIOMETER For codes above 10892 (8 pin connector)

1. Disconnect the Control Cable from the back of the feeder.

NOTE: See Figure F.4 for Pin locations

a. Check resistance from Pin F(75) to Pin H (77) of the box connector for a reading of 10k+/- 10%.

A low reading or an ʻopenʼ reading indicates a defective.

b. Connect the meter from Pin F(75) to Pin G(76) and rotate the control slowly from min to max voltage setting.

The meter should vary smoothly from 0 to 10ks.

c. Repeat test ʻbʼ with meter connected to Pins G and H.

Any irregularity or ʻskippingʼ in the meter read- ing indicates a defective potentiometer.

d. Check all three leads to the potentiometer case. Reading must be >500kΩ.

NOTE: Codes below 10892 have a 6 pin connector. Test points will be pins E(75), D(76) and F(77)
