INTRODUCTION

Multimeter Tutorial

The Multimeter

The multimeter is one of the most useful tools in the toolbox. It can be used to check wires, shorts, voltages, resistance, all manner of electrical circuits. This tutorial is designed to help clarify the symbols and socket options found on various multimeters.

The Probes

Probes connect the meter to the circuit. Simply touch them to the connections you want to measure and read the display. Obviously, this depends on how the meter is set up, and what is being measured.

MULTIMETER

PROBES

The Ports

The Common Port. 1. Generally, the black probe plugs in here (negative) and as the name suggests, it’s the common element to all of the testing circuits. Think of it as the ground rail. Voltage, Resistance and Continuity port. 2. This is commonly used option. Connect the red (positive) probe to this port when using any voltage readings, resistance readings or when checking wire continuity (explained in more detail later in the tutorial). Current up to 300mA. 3. This port is used for “counting electrons” in a circuit, and thus their rate of ﬂ ow (current being the ﬂ ow of electrons). You’ll notice that this side is “fused”, so that you don’t end up melting the meter’s circuits. Current up to 10A. 4. Same as above, except it can take more current, as the name suggests.

PORTS

Symbols

This section describes the basic symbols used in a typical multimeter.

This symbol means alternating current. Use this when you want to test something that has AC current running through it. Typically you’d want to test the voltage of an inverter (for cold cathodes or neons) or a similar device.

This means Direct Current. This is the type of electrical power produced by a battery. With a battery connector, the black wire(s) should be connected to the negative(-) terminal of the battery and should be considered the common ground. The red wire(s) should be connected to the positive(+) terminal of the battery and is considered the “hot” lead.

INTRODUCTION

Voltage

This means Voltage or Potential Difference. This measures the potential difference between the two probes. To measure voltage, connect the positive probe to a port that is marked “V” or Voltage. Note: “mV” means milli-volts .001 Voltage

Current

Technically, this term is incorrect. It should be “I” but since current is measured in Amps and the readout value is in amps, the symbol makes sense. This measures the current that is ﬂ owing through the part of the circuit between the two probes (the meter itself). Typically, you need to plug the positive terminal into a port marked “A” or Current. You need to put the meter “In Series” in the circuit to use this feature correctly.

Resistance

This symbol means Resistance and is measured in Ohms. You can use this setting to measure the resistance between two points; for example across a piece of wire or a resistor (to check its value). If you don’t have a continuity check, then this can be used to check for shorts. Any value below 0.05 Ohms constitutes a short, meaning that whatever the probes are attached to is connected electrically.

Continuity

A commonly used function. Basically, what it does is put a current through the two terminals (the same as the Ohm-meter function) and if the resulting value is within the “contact” range, it will beep. This feature found on some multimeters enables you to check for shorts without taking your eyes off your work. Other meters may have a light that turns on when a short is found.

INTRODUCTION

Health and Safety

Good Working Practices

While working on powered mobility products, it is essential to observe good working practices. Below are a series of safety guidelines and recommendations. Please note that these precautions are intended to serve only as a guide, not to supersede or replace any safety statute, NHS or other safety regulations.

General

• Always wear suitable protective clothing when handling batteries.

• Always wear suitable eye protection when drilling or inspecting.

• When safe to do so, wear protective gloves when handling the running gear or batteries, as these parts are exposed to paths, parks etc.

• If the drive wheels have to be raised off the ﬂ oor, always use a pair of axle stands to secure the vehicle.

Battery Safety

Use extra caution when working with batteries.• Always make sure that the batteries are disconnected from the vehicle before • commencing work. Always check that the battery charger is disconnected from the vehicle / batteries • before commencing work. Do not smoke.• Keep batteries away from all sources of ignition.• Do not place objects on the battery tops.• Always try to keep someone within earshot of your work area so that they may • come to your assistance if needed. Always wear personal protection when handling batteries, including, eye/face • protection and gloves. Make sure there is easy access to soap and water in case of acid spills.• Avoid touching eyes or unprotected parts of the body while working on batteries.• Remember that non-sealed batteries can contaminate any packaging, housing, • or boxes they may have been transported in so handle all packaging with care, especially during disposal. If battery acid should come into contact with bare skin or clothing, be sure to wash • contacted area immediately, using plenty of soap and water. If battery acid enters the eyes, ﬂ ush with running cold water for as long as possible while medical help is being sought. When the tops of batteries are exposed, take extra care when working on or • around the terminals. Do not allow metal tools to drop on to or touch the exposed terminals of the • batteries or other exposed connections, as this could cause a short circuit, which may result in an explosion.

Remove personal items of jewelry, such as rings, watches, chains etc. • before working on batteries. Such items could cause short circuits resulting in serious burns. Batteries are constructed of heavy materials. Therefore moving batteries • requires appropriate lifting techniques. Safety footwear should also be worn. In addition, disposal of old batteries requires correct procedures. Contact your local authority for their recommendations.

Battery Chargers

Remember battery chargers are connected to household current.• Always observe all guidelines and laws relating to electrical equipment.• Never operate the battery charger in wet or damp conditions.• If you think that the charger has been exposed to water or excessive • dampness, do not use it. Return the unit to the dealer/supplier for inspection/ replacement. If you think the battery charger is defective or is visibly damaged, return the • unit to the dealer/supplier for inspection.

INTRODUCTION

EMI Warnings

EMI means electromagnetic (EM) interference (I). EMI comes from radio • wave sources, such as radio transmitters and transceivers. A “transceiver” is a device that both sends and receives radio wave signals.) There are a number of sources of intense EMI in our daily environment. • Some of these are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not, and we may not be able to avoid them. Powered wheelchairs, although tested in accordance with EMC guidelines, • may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted from sources such as, radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. EMI can also be produced by conducted sources or electro-static discharge • (ESD).

What effect can EMI have?

1. EMI, without warning, can cause a power chair to:

• Release its electronic brakes

• Move by itself

• Move in unintended directions.

• If any of these occur, severe injury could result.

2. EMI can damage the control system of a power chair, resulting in a safety hazard and/or costly repairs.

INTRODUCTION

Sources of EMI

1. Hand-Held Transceivers: The antenna is usually mounted directly on the unit. These include:

Citizens band (CB) radios• “Walkie-talkies”• Security, ﬁ re and police radios• Cellular phones• Lap top computers with phone or fax•

Other personal communication devices• Note - These devices can transmit signals while they are on, even if not in use. The wheelchair should be switched off when not in use.

2. Medium-Range Mobile Transceivers: These include two-way radios used in police cars, ﬁ re engines, ambulances and taxi cabs. The antenna is usually mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

3. Long-Range Transceivers: These include commercial radio and TV broadcast antenna towers, amateur (HAM) radios and alarm systems in department stores.

NOTE- The following are Not likely to cause EMI problems: Lap-top computers (without phone or fax), cordless phones, TV sets or AM/FM radios, CD or tape players. EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as you get closer to the source. For this reason, EMI from handheld devices is of special concern. A person using one of these devices can bring high levels of EM energy very close to a power chair without the user’s knowledge.

Immunity level

The level of EM is measured in volts per metre (V/m). Every power wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain level. This is called its “immunity level”. The higher the immunity level, the less the risk of EMI. It is believed that a 20 V/m immunity level will protect the power wheelchair user from the more common sources of radio waves.

The conﬁ guration tested and found to be immune to at least 20 V/m is: QuickieRhythm and Groove power wheelchairs with a right-handed mounted joystick system, 18” seat width, 18” seat depth, dual-post height-adjustable armrests, ﬁ xed tapered legrests with one-piece solid footplate and Gp 24 gel cell batteries.

The following dealer installed speciality input devices have an unknown effect on the immunity level because they have not been tested with the Delphi control system:

Breath Control (“Sip n Puff”)•

Tri-Switch Head Array•

Proximity Head Array•

Proportional Mini-Joystick/Chin Control•

Buddy Button•

Wafer Board•

Electro Static Discharge

To help prevent Electro Static Discharge (ESD) the following proper handling

techniques should be followed:

ESD:

Do not place Printed Circuit Boards or their containers near sources of strong • electrical ﬁ elds (such as above a CRT). To avoid the occurrence of static charge or discharge due to friction, keep • the Printed Circuit Boards separate from one another and do not stack them directly on top of one another if not protected by antistatic bags. Store each Printed Circuit Board in an antistatic bag with an external cush-• ioning bubble-wrap layer until assembled to wheelchair. Antistatic bag must have metal content to protect the printed circuit board. Gray bag protects from ESD, pink bag or bubble wrap does not protect as well. Always wear an ESD preventive wrist or ankle strap when handling electronic • components. Connect one end of the strap to an ESD jack or an unpainted metal component on the system (such as a captive installation screw). Handle Printed Circuit Boards by the edges only; avoid touching the Printed • Circuit Board and connector pins. Place any removed Printed Circuit Board on an antistatic surface or in a static • shielding bag. Avoid contact between the Printed Circuit Boards and clothing. The wrist • strap only protects the card from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage. Make sure that the Printed Circuit Board power is off by disconnecting the • seating harness prior to attaching or removing printed circuit board.

INTRODUCTION

Printed Circuit Board Flexing:

The printed circuit board has surface-mount components that may break • when the board is ﬂ exed. To minimize the amount of board ﬂ exing, observe the following precautions: Hold the printed circuit board only by the edges. • Do not place the printed circuit board on a hard surface. • Tighten board mounting screws only hand tight (torque12.4 in lbs/1.4Nm) in a • cross pattern to reduce stress on mounting holes and PCB board material.

Rhythm & Groove Power Bases

Batteries

Safety

If mishandled batteries can be dangerous and hazardous.

All mobility batteries, whether wet type or gel/sealed type, contain lead • and sulfuric acid. Both of these materials are toxic and in the case of sulfuric acid, highly corrosive. Additionally, when batteries are charged, they produce hydrogen gas which is “highly” ﬂ ammable and can cause explosion. This is why proper handing is mandatory at all times. Battery explosion - This is frequently the result of too low an acid/electrolyte • level in the battery, which allows high concentrations of hydrogen to build up. This is possible with all batteries if improper charging or battery failure occurs, but not common in gel/sealed batteries. < KEEP SPARKS AND FLAMES AWAY FROM BATTERIES >• Burns - dropping a wrench or screwdriver across battery terminals results • in sparks, and intense heat. Improper assembly of battery boxes or battery box wiring may short the battery through the wiring and produce a possible electrical ﬁ re. Electronic damage - batteries that are improperly wired can short out • electronic chair components resulting in expensive repairs. Pollution - improper disposal of batteries could damage the environment. • All batteries should be disposed of through a reliable battery recycler.

Battery Diagnostics

How Long Should Batteries Last?

An average of 1 to 1.5 years. Factors that affect battery performance:

Maintenance - Poor maintenance.•

Charging - Improper charging shortens battery life. •

Chair Components - Malfunctioning electronics, bad motors, electric brakes, •

and corroded wiring are just some of the factors that may affect battery life and

performance.

Battery Servicing and Replacement

Automobile batteries, which are used for starting, are tested with a load tester to assure a high rate of energy production in a short burst.

The voltmeters on load testers are not accurate enough to establish a state of charge.

Deep-cycle batteries produce energy more slowly and are designed to hold up to constant discharging and recharging. Testing a deep-cycle wheelchair or scooter battery requires different procedures than an automobile battery.

A routine for testing deep-cycle batteries should follow these guidelines:

Never replace just one battery at a time. This will create an imbalance when charging and ultimately damage both batteries.

Check batteries for a voltage difference. A voltage difference of more than .4 volts D.C. is a true indicator of a bad battery.

Voltage test - A dead battery cannot be effectively tested, yet many people mistakenly try to do just that. Any battery that reads 11.0 volts or less is technically dead.

To perform any testing, especially a load test: A. Batteries must be charged B. The top charge must be taken from fully charged batteries if charge rate has just ﬁ nished.

Load Test• - This test can only be done on fully charged batteries and can

diagnose one type of problem, an internal short.

Capacity/ Discharge Test• - This is the only accurate way to test a deep-cycle

battery for adequate running time. The problem with this test is that it is time

consuming.

Current / Voltage check• with a regular interval check - Another way of truly

knowing how much time your battery will last is also time consuming.

Battery Types

REMEMBER: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE

INSTALLER TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF BATTERIES

TO INSTALL IN THE CUSTOMER’S WHEELCHAIR!

Deep-cycle batteries are designed to be • discharged and recharged on a regular basis. Starting or automotive type batteries use a rapid • burst of power to start an engine and are quickly recharged by an alternator or generator. They are rated by cold cranking amps, a measure that has no relevance to wheelchair application. Marine and RV batteries frequently are not • deep-cycle as they are often used for starting engines.

Only use Deep-Cycle sealed type batteries • in a wheelchair.

Battery Connectors

The battery connection uses a 2 way connector with a White Jumper to give the series connection of 24 volt It has a clearly designated RED and BLACK connector which connect to the Positive for RED and the Negative for the BLACK with JUMPER (White) joining the system. The system has a 100 amp non-removable fuse built into the Cable and a removable 15 amp fuse for Auxiliary Power.

Inspecting the Fuses

Remove caps on each of the two 15 amp fuses and visually inspect. Insure there are no breaks in the fuse material. If continuity is still in doubt, unplug fuse from holder and check resistance across fuse blades. Zero resistance indicates a usable fuse. Inﬁ nite resistance indicates a non-usable fuse. The 100 amp fuse must be checked by measuring their continuity. Zero resistance indicates a usable fuse. Inﬁ nite resistance indicates a non-usable fuse. The 100 amp fuse is not replaceable, the harness must be replaced.

Chargers and Charging

Use the wheelchair manufacturer’s automatic charger for all routine • charging. The best recharge point for deep cycle batteries is roughly at 50% • discharge. Never run batteries completely ﬂ at [total discharge].• Do not purchase automotive chargers. They are not designed to charge • deep cycle batteries and will quickly ruin gel/sealed batteries. Do not use chargers designed for wet battery charging with gel/sealed • batteries; their charging voltages are different.

Checking the Motor Brushes

Note: When removing brushes from the motor for inspection, please note orientation and location of the brushes as they are removed from the motor (ﬁ g 1.21). The brushes are “burned in” to the commutator and reinstallation in a location or orientation not matching the pre-inspection location may negatively affect motor operation. Checks:

• How smooth is the brush surface – did it create “C” shaped groove?

• If there is less than 1/4” brush material left the Brushes should be replaced.

• How the wire between the coil looks – did it discolor (ﬁ g 1.22)

• Did the Top soldered joint melt (ﬁ g 1.23).

• How does the commutator look after the brush has been contacting the surface (ﬁ g 1.24).

Motor Encoders

Introduction Encoders allow chairs maintain a straight line while driving on uneven terrain and allows the usage of Switch Controls without the normal veering of other products. It does this by 5 individual Hall Effect Sensors that will detect 1 degree per 360 degree rotation of the wheel by means of the Encoder. Encoders are simple to add on and operate with our Delphi Electronics. The following details will show you what parts are necessary and how it plugs into the module as well as programming.

Fig. 1.47 shows the Encoder mechanism and the Plastic coupler which connects to both Motor Shaft and Encoder Assembly. This procedure is done by removing the Brake cap and using the Same 3 Screws that were used initially.

Your next step is to plug the Encoder Plug into the control Module (Fig 1.48) with Symbol seen in Fig 1.49.

Suspension

The Quickie Rhythm base has a special 4-bar suspension system that pulls the front caster wheels up over curbs, while simultaneously maintaining independent suspension on the remaining four wheels.

The front caster housing pivots horizontally, • which absorbs front impact. Then the tension between the caster and the drive wheel literally pull the caster up over the curb. When only going over rough terrain, the • connecting belt allows independent suspension of the front casters as well as the drive wheel The rear casters also feature independent • suspension. All 6 wheels suspend independently and remain • in contact with the ground.

Anti-pitch Timing Adjustment

For Rhythm, each rear suspension element controls the pitch damper mechanism on that side of the chair. Timing of the initiation of the anti-pitch function on the Rhythm can be accomplished by the following method.

Place the chair on a pedestal so that the drive •

wheels are suspended off of the riding or work

surface.

To allow a clearer indication of anti-pitch function, •

move to the front of the chair and remove the

6mm hardware that secures the anti-sway bar

end links to the motor mounts (Fig. 1.60).

Lift the rear caster so that the black rubber pad •

on the front of the rear shock mount is against

the chassis tube (Fig 1.61).

The motor on that side of the chair should move •

freely on its pivot and the anti-pitch tube.

Slowly lower the rear suspension so that the •

black rubber pad on the front of the rear shock

mount separates from the chassis tube (Fig

1.62).

After the rubber pad separates from the chassis •

tube the effort required to move the motor about

its pivot should increase substantially. This is

the pitch damper increasing the suspension

damping level.

The increase in motor movement effort should •

take affect before the rubber pad has separated

from chassis tube by more than 1/8”. This

constitutes pitch damper “timing”

Fig 1.60

Fig 1.61

Fig 1.62

POWER BASE SECTION

Adjusting the timing of the anti-pitch effect is • accomplished by rotating the nut at the end of the anti-pitch actuation cable at the anti-pitch housing. The anti-pitch housing is located on the stainless steel anti-pitch shaft inboard of the drive motor. (Fig 1.63) (NOTE: The free threads seen between the nut and the cable rotary barrel indicate that this anti-pitch is fully engaged.) As seen, the barrel end of the cable has • a hexagonal shape and while an adjustable wrench could be set to ﬁ t this portion of the cable, a vise-grip type of pliers would be better suited to this application. Adjusting the nut clockwise will increase the • amount of suspension travel prior to anti-pitch damping engagement. Adjusting the nut counter clockwise will reduce the amount of suspension travel prior to anti-pitch engagement. After evenly adjusting the timing of the anti-pitch • on each side, reinstall the 6mm anti-sway bar and attaching hardware, then set torque to 6 ft-lbs or 8.13 Newton-meter. Remove the chair from the pedestal. The • procedure is complete.

Control Operation Description

The Motor Controller is a 70 amp control module for QC and 100 amp for QR. When used on ﬂ at terrain it will draw approximately 10 amps (+/- 2). On a steep incline or curb, it will draw up to 70 amps of current to give the motors a power boost for 10 seconds. If required, it will deliver 35 amp output for an additional 100 seconds. Most controls would either shutdown or go into full current rollback after going for that length of time. The QC Motor Control will continue to deliver output at 25 amps.

Operate the chair for one minute at high speed. (Gear boxes disengaged). Observe and record the voltage 8. drop. At the end of one minute, release the joystick. Observe the voltage for the next 5 minutes. Refer to the fol-9. lowing notes:

a. If the voltage drops rapidly (typically 2 volts or more) during the ﬁ rst 5 seconds, this • is an indication that one or both of the batteries contains a bad cell. b. If the voltage drops more than 0.6 VDC during the ﬁ rst 5 seconds (typically 1 volt) • and continues to drop slowly over the next 55 seconds, this is an indication that the batteries are becoming weak and no longer performing as group 24 batteries (70 amp hour). c. An indication that the batteries are getting weak and should be replaced soon is when • the voltage does not return to the starting value at the end of the 5 minute rest. d. If the voltage drops no more than 0.6 volts during the ﬁ rst 5 seconds, followed by • level state during the next 55 seconds, and recovers to within .1 VDC of the starting voltage after 5 minutes rest, the batteries are good.

The Motor Resistance is the factory default motor compensation. Typical programmed value is .05 Ohms. • The Motor Voltage for each motor should increase evenly. • If the voltage is not even, verify that a Veer Compensation has not been programmed into the chair. • If the Motor Voltages are still not even, the Motor Controller may be defective. Verify that there are no faults • recorded in the Fault section of the Quickie iQ or HHP. The Motor Current should be even for both motors when the Motor Voltages are equal. A typical value for • the Rhythm or Groove motors with the gear box disengaged is 4 to 6 amps. Cold motors may indicate higher current. Excessive current may be caused by bad bearings, defective or shorted motor windings, or a dragging park • brake. The Motor RPM should be even for both motors when the Motor Voltages are equal. • If the Motor RPMs are not equal and the wheelchair contains IntelliDrive, suspect a bad motor encoder or • motor controller.

Actuator Tests

Notes:

The seating actuators contain encoders that provide position information to the Motor Controller or QMAC. • Counter Reset Switches (CRS) automatically provide re-home information to the Motor Controller or QMAC. • The re-home function occurs when the actuator moves across the CRS. Failure to operate the seating system far enough to operate the CRS over time may cause the controller • to lose counts and to not return to programmed position. Encoder errors may also occur if the CRS is not exercised periodically. Encoder errors are often cause by “homing” errors. Re-Home the wheelchair anytime encoder errors are • present. Creep speed (proﬁ le) will be active anytime the back angle is 15 degrees from vertical. This angle may be • from recline, tilt, or a combination of the two. Creep speed (proﬁ le) is active anytime the seat elevator is active. Raising the seat approximately 1/8” will • invoke creep speed. Creep proﬁ le is a percent of maximum wheelchair speed. It is adjustable using the HHP or PCSS. However, • the speed can never exceed the maximum safe speed predetermined by Sunrise Medical.

The Perfect Fit System

Theory of Operation

The Recline Portion of the Perfect Fit Seating System uses dual keipers to operate the back. Each keiper is powered by independent 24 VDC motors. A cogged belt connects the motors to the keipers.

The keipers are similar to those used in the automobile industry to recline seat backs. A hinged rod connects the left keiper to the right keiper to ensure synchronization.

An optical encoder is mounted on the left keiper assembly to record the rotation of the keipers. The control module decodes this signal and calculates the back angle.

A conventional joystick, or other input device, sends actuator commands over the CANBUS line to the control module. If a QR-MAC is also incorporated, the commands are routed to it as well. The control module or QR-MAC sends operating voltage to a PC board mounted on the seat back.

Fig 3.48

The PC board has several functions, including routing the voltage from the controller module to the recline actuators. The optical encoder sends its signal to the PC board. The PC board routes this signal to the control module where it is analyzed for correct operation and position.

For recline, the PC board receives a signal from a rocker switch that is mounted in the center of the back. This switch (the Encoder Reset Switch) is operated by a sliding link connected to a strut. Its purpose is to synchronize the optical encoders with the back angle. This signal is sent to the control module.

The tilt system contains an 18-degree micro switch that informs the computer when the tilt is at 18-degrees. The purpose is to reset the encoder circuit each time the chair is tilted past 18-degrees. With the exception of the legrest system, the other seating functions reset during the operation by recording the actions of microswitches located within the actuators.

Two reed switches are mounted on the same bracket that houses the Encoder Reset Switch. One reed switch is the End of Travel (EOT) “Home” for the up direction of the actuator, and the other reed switch is the EOT for the “Back”, or down direction, of the actuator. These signals are sent to the PC board which interupts the actuator current when the seatback reaches either end-of-travel.

SEATING SECTION

Encoder Reset Switch

Fig 3.49

The actuators are connected to the PC board. The actuator drive voltage is provided by the control module and routed through the PC board to the actuators.

Creep (speed reduction) and drive lockout are controlled by the Delphi system. Twelve degrees of tilt, 40 degrees of recline, or any lift will cause the chair to drive in creep speed.

Drive lockout will occur anytime two or more of the functions (tilt, recline) are causing the chair to drive in creep speed. Example, if the chair is tilted past 12 degrees and also reclined more than 40 degrees, the chair will not drive.

Troubleshooting the Recline Seating System - without QR-MAC

Prior to troubleshooting the Perfect Fit seating system, verify that the QR-MAC is correctly programmed and that the actuators are enabled. Refer to the HHP Owners Manual. See below to troubleshoot each indicated fault.

The Recline Actuator will not function or will not correctly function.

Verify that the Recline functions illuminate on the input device (joystick or Enhanced Display). If not, refer to the Delphi troubleshooting section of the service manual.

Open the cover on the back of the wheelchair. 1. If a PCB Power Failure is noted, locate the 2. Actuator Cable running from the control module to the PC Board. Refer to the Perfect Fit Wiring Diagram for the cable location. Disconnect the cable. Turn on the wheelchair 3. at the joystick (or other wheelchair control) and within 3 minutes measure for full battery voltage between pins 3 (ground) and 6 (positive battery voltage). If full battery voltage is not observed, ensure that 4. the Actuator Cable is connected to the control module. If not, reconnect and retest. If voltage is still not present at the Actuator Cable, 5. replace the Actuator Cable and retest. If voltage is not present after replacing the Actuator 6. Cable, replace the control module and retest. Disconnect the 4-pin “Recline” cable (A) leading 7. from the actuators to the Printed Circuit Board. Using this connector, check the resistance of the 8. actuators by measuring across the two left pins on the connector (black and blue wires), followed by the two right pins on the connector (black and blue wires). Correct resistance is between 3 and 9 ohms. (Fig 3.52)

While moving to front, place magnet close to home EOT sensor motors should stop. Connect a multimeter across the two black wires 13. on the 6-pin connector. Check for continuity with the “Home” switch open and closed by moving a magnet close to the switch and then removing it. If the switch does not open and close, replace the Encoder Reset and EOT switch assembly and retest. If the multimeter indicates correct switch operation, 14. readjust the Home switch by following the reed switch adjustment procedures outlined in this manual. Connect a multimeter across the two green wires 15. on the 6-pin connector and check for continuity with the “Back” switch open and closed by moving a magnet close to the switch and then removing it. If the switch does not open and close, replace the Encoder Reset and EOT switch assembly and retest. If the multimeter indicates open and close, readjust 16. the Back switch by following the reed switch adjustment procedures outlined in this manual. If all of the above tests are correct, replace the PC 17. Board assembly and retest. If replacing the PC Board does not ﬁ x the problem, 18. replace the control module and retest.
