- Page 28 SECONDARY CIRCUIT IONIZING-COLLECTING CELL The cell is electrically energized through a contact terminal located at the top center of the cell. The ionizing wires and alternating collector plates are electrically charged while the interleaving plates are grounded. If the space between the charged and grounded plates is bridged with conductive or semi-conductive material, a short circuit develops.
- Page 29 CHECKING THE POWER SUPPLY If the output light remains out with the collector cells removed from the cabinet, the power supply is defective. Specific problems on the power tray assembly can be isolated by using a multimeter and high voltage probe to check the output voltages.
- Page 30 If no voltage is present, remove the second cell. Install cell number and measure voltage as described above. If voltage is present, second cell, which is now out of the cabinet, is shorted. Refer to Table 1 on page 12. 10.
