Connection Polarity Test

To

verify that the input power wires are connected to the correct terminals, measure the voltage

between

the input return connector (RTN) and the chassis ground using a multi meter. The

voltage

should be less than 2.0 Vdc. If the voltage is more than 2.0 Vdc, reverse the input power

wires

and measure the voltage between the input return connector (RTN) and the chassis ground

again

to determine that the voltage is less than 2.0 Vdc.

5.6

Fuse Alarm Test

Place

a fuse that has failed in one of the fuse positions on each bus. The visual fuse alarm

indicators

(LED) for the bus will change from unlighted to a red light, and the fuse failure alarm

relay

will operate. Replace the failed fuses with known good fuses.

6

OPERATION

All

fuse panel circuits are operational as soon as power is applied to the input connectors. The

alarm

indicator should not light when power is applied.

Operation

of the fuse panel consists of removing and replacing fuses when they fail. If a fuse

fails,

the alarm LED indicator for the bus lights, and the external and remote alarms are

activated

(if present).

7

MAINTENANCE

7.1

Inspection

Inspect

the fuse panel periodically (every six months is recommended) for damage to the fuses,

damaged

or broken wires on the power outputs and the external alarm connections. Inspect for

excessive

dust and dirt that block the vents.

Caution:

This equipment employs electrical voltage and amperage levels which may be

considered

an electrical hazard. Care should be exercised to assure that only qualified personnel

are

allowed to install, operate, maintain, or otherwise come in contact with the fuse panel when

it

is energized. Only insulated tools should be used on energized elements of the panel.
