Figure 6-1. Circuit Board Locations And Components
CAUTION: ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) can damage circuit boards.
Put on properly grounded wrist strap
BEFORE handling circuit boards.
Transport circuit boards in proper static-
shielding carriers or packages.
Perform work only at a static-safe work area.
INCORRECT INSTALLATION or misaligned
plugs can damage circuit board.
Be sure that plugs are properly installed and
aligned.
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE can break circuit
board.
Use only minimal pressure and gentle move-
ment when disconnecting or connecting
board plugs and removing or installing board.
IMPORTANT: All directions, such as left or right, are
with respect to the serviceperson facing the front panel.
1. Open necessary side door as follows: left side for
Contactor Control board PC3, or right side for
Voltage Control board PC4.
2. Disconnect wiring harness plug from board re-
ceptacle (see Figure 6-1), and remove board
from standoff supports.
3. Reconnect wiring harness plug to new board re-
ceptacle; be sure plug snaps firmly in place.
4. Install and secure new board onto standoff sup-
ports on lower front panel.
5. Close side door.
6. Resume operation.
6-4. TUNGSTEN ELECTRODE (Table 6-2, And
Figures 6-2 And 6-3)
Use Table 6-2 to select the correct size and type tung-
sten electrode. Prepare the tungsten electrode using
the following guidelines. A properly prepared tungsten
electrode is essential in obtaining a satisfactory weld.
A. For AC or DC Electrode Positive Welding (Fig-
ure 6-2)
Ball the end of tungsten electrodes used for ac or dc
electrode positive welding before beginning the welding
operation. Weld amperage causes the tungsten elec-
trode to form the balled end. The diameter of the end
should not exceed the diameter of the tungsten elec-
trode by more than 1-1/2 times. For example, the end of
a 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) diameter tungsten electrode should
not exceed a 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) diameter end.
