SERVICING THE AT30

Replacing the power (ballast) resistor (R3) - 48 and 130 Vdc units only

For 48 Vdc and 130 Vdc AT30s, R3 is mounted with metal brackets onto
the back panel of the enclosure. Cut wires # 49 and # 51 connected to R3
as close to the resistor leads as possible. Strip off 0.25in / 6.4mm of
insulation from the cut ends of the wires. Unscrew the top mounting-
bracket and remove the existing resistor. Mount the new R3 and replace
the top mounting-bracket. Polarity is not important. Carefully re-solder
the cut wires to R3, remount the resistor and top bracket.

Replacing resistors (R3, R4, R6 & R14) on the Gate Driver board (A15)

In all AT30s, resistors R4, R6 and R14 are soldered directly onto the Gate
Driver pc board (A15). For 12 Vdc and 24 Vdc AT30s, R3 is also
soldered directly onto A15. See the figure below of the Gate Driver pc
board (A15) for proper location.

If any of these resistors need to be replaced we suggest you order a new
Gate Driver pc board (A15). See

Replacing the Main Control pc board

(A1) and/or Gate Driver pc board (A15) on page 59.
If any of these resistors

must be replaced without replacing A15, select the

proper part number listed in the table starting on page 62 and order it from
the factory or your sales representative.

Remove A15 as described on page 59. Using wire cutters, clip the
soldered leads of the old resistor and remove it from A15. Carefully
solder on the new resistor, making sure not to damage any other
components on A15. Polarity is not important for these resistors. Once
the solder cools, replace A15 as described on page 59.
