Testing Power Connections
To verify that the power connections to the TimeProvider 5000 are correct, follow
the steps in this section. The connections on the primary power module are referred
to as Power A and Return A. The connections on the secondary power module are
referred to as Power B and Return B. Use a digital multimeter (Fluke 77 or
equivalent) to make the measurements.
1. Remove all fuses that supply power to the unit from the fuse panel.
2. Ensure that no IOC or IMC modules are installed in the unit.
3. Disconnect the -48V battery leads from the unit's power connector terminals. See
the primary and secondary power connections in
battery leads connected to the unit.
