7. Release the OFF Button on the Manual Gas Console to enable the system. Move
the pointer to ON and then press the select
button to energize the system. After
the gases set, prepare to apply a start signal to the unit.
8. With a start signal applied, check the three phase voltage input to each chopper at
the diode bridge terminals (three screws on the left side of each chopper). Refer to
TABLE 1 for the proper three phase AC voltage.
Note that the system will only energize for approximately two seconds each
time a start signal is applied.
If the voltage is not present, check for primary voltage on the main contactor
(CON 1) and on the primary side of the power transformer.
