1-10. Circuit Protective Elements
The positive characteristic thermistor (for power supply) functions as a circuit protective element on the
AT-141, DPR-163, RC-86, IF-789A/789P (HKCU-901), FC-83 (HKCU-903) and LC-41 (HKCU-904)
boards of the unit. The thermistor increases the internal resistance and limits the current flowing to the
circuits when an overcurrent flows or when the ambient temperature increases and the element reaches
the specified temperature. If the elements operates, turn off the main power and inspect the HDCU
internal circuit. After removing the cause of the equipment abnormality and the temperature of the
element decreases, turn on the power again and operate the unit correctly. It takes about 1 minute for the
elements to cool down after the main power is turned off.
