3.5. REPLACING DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS
WARNING 
High voltages appear at several points inside the AT30. Use extreme 
caution when working inside the unit. Do not attempt to work inside the 
AT30 unless you are a qualified technician or electrician.  
Disconnect and lock out all power from the AT30 before starting to 
remove or replace any components. Turn the ac power off at the 
distribution panel upstream from the charger. Disconnect the battery 
from the AT30 output terminals TB1(+/-). 
For information on identifying internal components, refer to the standard 
drawings featured in Appendix C. 
Removing the safety shield (if present)
Some AT30 enclosures feature a clear plexiglas safety shield, as a second 
protective barrier between the user and the internal components. Some of 
the following repair procedures require the removal of this shield to access 
internal components. 
Open the front door and remove the clip fasteners from the front of the 
plexiglas shield. Lay or lean the shield near the enclosure. Do not lay the 
shield on the top of the AT30. The top vents on the enclosure are 
required for cooling of the unit. 
Attach the plexiglas safety shield back onto the enclosure opening using 
the clip fasteners after replacing components and before starting up the 
unit. 
CAUTION: Hazardous ac and dc voltages are present on the I/O 
panel terminals and several internal components.
