5.4.1 PCB Removal and Replacement
Estimated Time to Repair:
1
2 hour
The microprocessor PCB assembly is protected by a cover
fastened to the rotating plate Fig. 5-1. The cover must be
removed to gain access to the main power fuse and the PCB
assembly.
1. Using needle-nose pliers, remove the E-ring from
one end of the connecting rod Fig. 5-2.
2. Remove the connecting rod by sliding it off the
bracket.
3. Fully retract the elevation axis motor shaft
Fig. 5-5.
4. Remove 6 pan head screws from the PCB cover
flanges.
5. Remove the PCB cover. To get the necessary
clearance, rotate the linear actuator up 90º while
lifting the PCB cover Fig. 5-5.
6. Remove all cable connectors from the PCB.
Figure 5-6 on the following page illustrates the
PCB arrangement and connector locations.
TracVision L2 is equipped with a
5x20 mm, 3.15-amp, 250 volt fast-
blow fuse, which is mounted on the
PCB. To access and replace the
fuse, remove the PCB cover.
When carrying out maintenance
on the PCB, be sure to not drop
any of the small screws inside the
mechanism. If a screw is lost within
the baseplate, it must be retrieved
to avoid causing any damage when
the unit rotates.
