• If fuse F7 is blown, as temporary solution, use F5 to replace
F1. The fuse F5 is not used and is a spare fuse.
• On terminal J13, check the Normally Open (NO) to
Common and Normally Closed (NC) to Common (C) circuits
by checking continuity. Normally Open to Common doesn’t
have continuity while the Normally Closed to Common has
continuity.
• If the NO to Common and NC to Common contacts are not
