TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR

ACTIVE SCR TEST (continued)

6. Connect SCR into the test circuit as shown

in

Figure F.8.

(A)Lead to anode (C) lead to

cathode and (G) lead to the gate.

7. Close switch SW-1 (Switch SW-2 should be

open). The voltmeter should read zero. If

the voltmeter reads higher than zero, the

SCR is shorted.

8. With switch SW-1 closed, close switch SW-2

for two seconds and release. The voltmeter

should read 3 to 6 volts before and after

switch SW-2 is released. If the voltmeter

does not read, or reads only while SW-2 is

depressed, the SCR or battery is defective.

(Repeat Battery Test Procedure described in

Step 5.)

9. Open switch SW-1, disconnect the gate lead

(G) and reverse the (A) and (C) leads on

the SCR. Close switch SW-1. The voltmeter

should read zero. If the voltage is higher

than zero, the SCR is shorted.

10. Replace any SCRs that do not pass the

test. See

SCR Bridge Assembly

Removal and Replacement.

11. Replace plug J4 on the control board.
12. Replace the case sides and top.
