1. Set the meter on .Ohins scale and connect the positive lead
to point #4. Take the negative lead and momentarily touch
point#1,#2,#3
and 15. There should
be
no Ohm value
· registered
on
the meter.
2.
Remove the positive lead from point #4 and connect the
negative lead
to
it. Momentarily touch points #t, #2
and
#3.
The Ohm meter should register an arbitrary value at each point
it touches.
3. Leave the negative lead on
PQint
#4, touch point
fl5
with
the positive lead. The meter should register no
Ohm value.
4. Place
the
positive
lead
on
point #1
and
the
negative
lead
on
point
#3.
The
meter should register
and
Ohm
val~e.
Reverse these connections
and
the meter
should
reg1ster
an,Ohm value.
If
the rectifier fails any
of
these tests replace the rectifier
as
it
is defective.
