RECTIFIER MODULE REMOV L
ND REPL CEMENT
PROCEDURE
1. Using the 9/64 in. Allen wrench,
remove the cap screw from the center
of the rectifier module that is to be
replaced.
2. Using the 7/16 in. wrench, remove the
two mounting bolts and associated
washers from the rectifier module to be
replaced.
3. Remove the faulty module.
4. This module requires special mounting
considerations to prevent warping of
the base plate. The heatsink surfaces
must be clean and flat. Apply a thin,
even coating of thermal compound,
(Penetrox A13) 0.004 to 0.010 inches
thick. Keep the compound away from
the area of the mounting holes.
5. Press the new module firmly against
the heatsink while aligning the mount-
ing holes. Start all three screws two to
three turns by hand.
6. Tighten each of the outer screws to
between 5 and 10 in/lbs.
7. Tighten the center screw to between
12 and 18 in/lbs.
8. Tighten each of the outer screws again,
this time to between 30 and 40 in/lbs.
