FUNCTION PROBLEMS
The SET voltage is erratic or not
adjustable over the entire range of
control. The actual voltage is also
erratic like the SET voltage.
1. Check for loose or faulty con-
nections on leads #634, #635,
and #636 between the voltage
control potentiometer (R3) and
the voltage PC board.
1. Remove power to the LN-9
GMA and disconnect Plug J9
from the voltage PC board.
Check the resistance of the volt-
age control potentiometer (R3).
When measured from the wiper
(lead #635) to lead #634, the
resistance should vary smoothly
from 0 to 10,000 ohms when the
shaft is rotated.
2. The voltage PC board may be
faulty. Replace.
The field fuse (F101), located on
the power PC board, repeatedly
fails.
1. Make sure the replacement fuse
is a 4/10 amp slow blow type
fuse.
1. Perform the
T1 Transformer
Test.
2. Disconnect the meter PC board.
If the problem is resolved, the
meter PC board may be faulty.
3. The power PC board may be
faulty. Replace.
