TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR
F-16 F-16
V350-PRO
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Have an electrician install and service
this equipment.
• Turn the input power off at the fuse box
before working on equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
Prior to performing preventative maintenance,
perform the following capacitor discharge procedure
to avoid electric shock.
DISCHARGE PROCEDURE
1. Remove the input power to the V350-PRO.
2. Using the 5/16” wrench remove the screws from
the case wraparound cover.
3. Be careful not to make contact with the capacitor
terminals located at the top and bottom of the
switch board.
4. Obtain a high resistance and high wattage resistor
(25-1000 ohms and 25 watts minimum). This
resistor is not with the machine. NEVER USE A
SHORTING STRAP FOR THIS PROCEDURE.
5. Locate the eight capacitor terminals shown in fig-
ure F.1.
6. Using electrically insulated gloves and pliers, hold
the body of the resistor with the pliers and con-
nect the resistor leads across the two capacitor
terminals. Hold the resistor in place for 10 sec-
onds. DO NOT TOUCH CAPACITOR TERMINALS
WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.
7. Repeat the discharge procedure for the other
three capacitors.
8. Check the voltage across the terminals of all
capacitors with a DC voltmeter. Polarity of the
capacitor terminals is marked on the PC board
above the terminals. Voltage should be zero. If
any voltage remains, repeat this capacitor dis-
charge procedure.
