7 - 8 Troubleshooting and Adjustments
Issue 6 October 1998
8. Observe the DMM and record the rectifier’s shunt voltage.
The shunt is rated 125A/50mV = 2.5A/mV, which means
that each millivolt of voltage drop across the shunt
indicates 2.5A of output current.
9. Convert the DMM shunt voltage reading to amperes. For
example, if the DMM reads 20mV, then 20mV x 2.5A/mV
= 50A of output current.
10. Compare the amperes calculated in Step 9 with the digital
display of the meter while the switch is in the AMPS
position. If the digital display is not between ±2% ±2
amperes of the amperes calculated in Step 9, calibrate the
CM3 card via its R15 potentiometer.
11. If the rectifier meter will not adjust via R15 to the
calculated load, replace the CM3 meter board as described
under “Replace CM3 Digital Meter Board” in Section 8.
Repeat this procedure from Step 1.
12. If the rectifier load display can be calibrated to the proper
load and the CM3 board is a Series 1 or 2 board, reposition
the board over the support standoffs. Verify that the latches
and switch bezel clips snap to lock the board in place. A
Series 3 board will not require this step.
13. Close the door of the rectifier and secure it with the
locking screws.
Adjust Isolated
Current
Measuring
Circuit (VI)
This procedure adjusts the isolated current measuring circuit
(voltage proportional to current adjustment) on the rectifier's
CM2 control board. Use the test in “Isolated Current Measuring
(VI) Test (MCS or Galaxy Controller)” in Section 6, Testing, to
verify that the circuit needs adjustment before following this
procedure. The procedure must be performed with the rectifier
connected to an MCS or Galaxy controller and to a battery.
Figure 2-3 shows test points and components on the CM2
control board. Other “E” test points are always positive with
respect to either E14 or E17 for all voltage measurements. The
plant control cable connector J2A MUST be connected to P2A
on CM2 for this procedure.
1. Hold the meter switch on the control panel in the Amps
position. With the rectifier turned on and delivering
