SERVICING THE AT30
59
Replacing the Main Control (A1) and/or Gate Driver (A15) pc boards
For details of this procedure, refer to service instruction (
JD5012-00
).
CAUTION: Printed circuit boards A1 and A15 are sensitive to 
damage from static discharges. Leave replacement pc boards in 
their anti-static bags until you are ready to install them. Ground 
yourself before handling these boards by touching the ground stud 
on the back of the door. Handle these boards only by their edges. 
Turn off and remove all power to the AT30. Remove the plexiglas safety 
shield. Disconnect the battery from the dc output terminals TB1(+/-). 
Note that the Main Control pc board (A1) and the Gate Driver pc board 
(A15) are mounted together as a pair. Remove the signal wire harness 
plugs from the top and left edges of the boards. If present, remove the 
summary alarm wiring from TB3 at the bottom of A1. If the optional 
temperature compensation probe is installed, remove the wires from TB8 
on the bottom of A1, and remove the shielded wire from J6 at the top-left 
side of A1. Make sure all wires are detached from the two (2) pc boards. 
The boards are mounted on ten (10) plastic standoffs. Compress the tab 
on each standoff, and pull the boards toward you until they clear all the 
standoffs. Separate the boards, if you are replacing only one, and then 
reconnect the replacement board. Put the replacement boards in place on 
the front panel with the same orientation, and push them onto the 
standoffs. Be sure that the boards are fully seated on all ten standoffs. 
Reconnect the signal wire harness plugs to the boards, matching the 
orientation when removed. If earlier removed, reconnect any wires to 
TB3, TB8 and J6 on A1. See Section 2.1 for the steps to restart the AT30. 
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 ac input or dc output circuit breaker (CB1/CB2)
Turn off and remove all power to the AT30. Remove the plexiglas safety 
shield. Disconnect the battery from the dc output terminals TB1(+/-). 
This includes remote sense wires if they were installed. Check with a 
voltmeter before proceeding. 
Remove the mounting screws from the circuit breaker on the mounting 
bracket, and carefully remove the breaker from the AT30. Remove the 
wires from the terminals, one at a time, and transfer the wires to the 
terminals of the replacement breaker. Be sure the terminal fasteners are 
tight. Install the replacement breaker into the bracket, reversing the 
procedure above, using the original mounting screws.
