6.2 Controller Circuit Board
It is possible to check some controller circuit board
components (relays) without removing them from the
board. Check these relays before installing a new board
and attempting startup. Use a high quality multimeter
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. To obtain
accurate readings when testing, remove all the circuit
board connectors and conformal coating (transparent
insulation) from the component terminals. Use the chart
in Figure 6-2
The controller circuit board has LEDs to indicate the
presence of relay coil power and aid in circuit board and
generator fault detection. See Figure 6-1. When the
K1-K5 relays energize, the corresponding LEDs light.
The LEDs do not indicate whether the relay coil is
functional or not. This conclusion can only be reached
through analyzing the fault.
