Replacing the main electronic board (XRC
G4
)
The XRC
G4
board is mounted to the backside of the access door. It is mounted to the door on standoffs. See Figure 68:

NOTICE
– Property damage.
The XRC
G4
board, as with any electronic board, is susceptible to damage by static
electricity or improper handling. To prevent this from occurring, the user should wear a grounding strap.
A grounding strap is a conductive device used to make connection between the person handling the board and a
high quality ground point. Before handling the board, wear a ground strap on the body then connect it to a
grounded point. This discharges electrical static buildup from the body to ground, preventing static from
discharging to the board.
Step-by-step instructions
NOTE:
Before removal of the XRC
G4
board, be certain any data has been saved to an external storage medium.
Failure to do so could result in data loss when the XRC
G4
board is removed.
Collect data from the unit.
Back up configuration files following the instructions in section 4.2,
Backing up configuration files
Verify “L
L
” battery alarm is not being displayed on the XFC
G4
or measure the lithium battery to make sure it is greater than
3.0V.
Before XRC
G4
board removal, disconnect the following associated connectors in this order:
–
If used, disconnect the external charging source, J17 (Figure 72:
XRC
G4
board connections
, Item 21).
–
Disconnect battery pack connector, J16 (Item 22).
–
Slide out to the right, the following green terminal strips from its associated XRC
G4
board connector. Do not lift the
connectors upward. Tape an identifier to each connector so it will be correctly reinserted into the same board mounting
connector during reinstallation of the XRC
G4
board:
– J6-COMM 2 (Item 18)
– J6-COMM 1 (Item 17)
– J8-B (Item 16)
– J8-A (Item 15)
– J20 (Item 13)
– J23 (Item 11)
NOTICE
– Property damage.
Pull all green terminal strips straight out. Rocking them back and forth may
severely bend the end pins. A small screw driver can help pry them straight out.
–
Disconnect PCCU port connector J15 (Item 25).
–
LCD interface connector J13 (Item 24).
–
Remove cable from J18 (Item 23) if external I/O modules are installed.
Remove the four mounting screws and lock washers securing the XRC
G4
board to door mounted standoffs (Figure 68:

).
NOTICE
– Property damage.
When removing the XRC
G4
board, grasp its outer edges. This prevents damage to
circuitry and components.
Replace and secure the XRC
G4
board on four standoffs and secure in place using four screws and lock washers. Do not
over tighten screws. Doing so could cause damage to the board or associated circuitry.
Reinstall connectors, removed in Step 4, to their associated board mounted connectors in the following order.
