Maintenance
Fuse location and access
Model 250 has an internal fuse. The fuse can be
checked without removing the power supply cover.
First remove the power supply from the octal socket.
An ohmmeter connected between pins 1 and 4 on the
module will read near infinity if the fuse has burned
out. If blown then replace with type 3AG 0.6 amp fuse.
Caution: Do not use slow-blow type fuse.

To replace the fuse, remove four fasteners holding
cover of base plug. Carefully remove the cover. The
fuse is located as shown in Figure 4. Visually check
the fuse. If the fuse is burned out, remove it, and

Troubleshooting
If the unit fails to operate or operates in an improper
manner, use the following procedure to identify and
resolve the problem.
1. Check the power source (115 VAC, 50-60 Hz line
manner, use the following procedure to identify and
resolve the problem.
1. Check the power source (115 VAC, 50-60 Hz line
voltage). Is it turned on? Using an AC voltmeter,
check the voltage between terminals 1 and 5. The
voltage should be between 110 and 120 VAC.

2. Check actual wiring against the wiring diagram.
Check tosee if voltage adjustment is turned up
high enough to operate clutch or brake.

3. Check fuse. If the fuse is burned out, replace it with
oneof the same type and rating. Review entire
