SERVICING THE AT10.1
59
Replacing the Main Control printed circuit board (A1)
For details of this procedure,
CAUTION: The printed circuit board A1 is sensitive to damage from 
static discharges. Leave replacement boards in their anti-static 
bags until you are ready to install them. Ground yourself before 
handling the board by touching the ground stud on the back of the 
door. Handle boards only by their edges. 
Turn off and remove all power to the AT10.1. Remove the plexiglas 
safety shield. Disconnect the battery from the output terminals. If the 
optional tempco probe is installed, disconnect the leads from TB8. 
Remove the harness plug from the upper left edge of the Main Control pc 
board (A1), and unplug wire # 30 from the quick-connect terminal near 
the upper left corner of the board. The board is mounted on six plastic 
standoffs. Compress the tab on each standoff, and pull the A1 board 
toward you until it clears all the standoffs. Put the replacement board in 
place with the same orientation, and push it onto the standoffs. Be sure 
that the board is fully seated on the standoffs. Replace wire # 30 on the 
quick-connect terminal, and connect the harness plug to the board at the 
top edge. Replace any optional wiring, such as the tempco probe on TB8. 
See Section 2.1 for steps to restart the AT10.1. If your charger parameters 
(float voltage, etc.) are different from the factory preset values, you should 
program in the new values now. See Section 2.3. You should also 
recalibrate the dc voltmeter according to Section 2.3.7. 
Replacing the rectifier heat sink assembly (A6)
Refer to the customer instruction supplement (
) supplied with
your replacement rectifier heat sink assembly (EJ1243-00). 
Turn off and remove all power to the AT10.1. Remove the plexiglas 
safety shield. Disconnect the battery from the output terminals. Check 
with a voltmeter before proceeding. Remove the enclosure shroud as 
described in the previous section. Make sure the rectifier heat sink has 
cooled, and remove the entire assembly by the front edge. Remove all 
wires attached to the rectifier pc board(s) as you pull the assembly out. 
Hold the replacement assembly in front of the AT10.1 (in the same 
orientation as the old), and reconnect all wires removed from the old 
rectifier as you insert it into the enclosure. To ensure correct replacement, 
see the wiring diagrams in Appendix C of this manual or the customer 
instruction supplement, supplied with the replacement assembly. When 
you are done, check to ensure all wires are connected to the proper 
terminals, and all lugs are fully seated. If any lug does not fit snugly, 
disconnect it and carefully tighten the ears of the lug using long-nosed 
pliers and reconnect.
