Important Safety Instructions

This procedure requires disassembly of the inverter that exposes the circuit board and electronic
components to external elements that are subject to electrostatic discharge. Be sure proper
grounding practices are performed when repairing or replacing electrical devices.
WARNING: Lethal Voltage
Review the system configuration to identify all possible sources of energy. Ensure ALL
sources of power are disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance on
this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are de-energized using a validated voltmeter
(rated for a minimum 1000 Vac and 1000 Vdc) to verify the de-energized condition.
WARNING: Burn Hazard
Internal parts can become hot during operation. Do not remove the cover during
operation or touch any internal parts. Be sure to allow them sufficient time to cool down
before attempting to perform any maintenance.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
Sensitive electronics inside the equipment can be destroyed by static electricity. Be sure
to discharge any static electricity built up before touching the equipment and wear
appropriate protective gear.

  • Page 2 FXR Power Supply/Control Board Replacement Instructions Circuit Board Instructions To replace the power supply/control board: Disconnect power. Turn off all DC and AC sources to the inverter. Remove the DC Cover or Turbo Fan. Remove the battery terminal covers. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws attaching the AC Cover as shown in Figure 1.
  • Page 3 FXR Power Supply/Control Board Replacement Instructions Using the strap wrench, remove the red and black ring nuts located on the battery terminals. See Figure 2. NOTE: If the ring nuts are too tight, a hammer and flat screwdriver may be used to tap the ring nuts counterclockwise.
  • Page 4 FXR Power Supply/Control Board Replacement Instructions CAUTION: Equipment Damage Inverter components will be damaged if the cover is removed too quickly. The cover and fan are wired to the internal control board with a PCB connector. See Figure 5. Figure 4 Top Cover Hex Bolts Carefully lift the inverter cover, just far enough to locate the fan wire.

This gasket is used to keep water out. Make sure to line up the holes on the gasket with the holes in the AC PBCA. See Figure 13. Battery Terminal O-Rings Compartment...
  • Page 9 FXR Power Supply/Control Board Replacement Instructions Testing Before reinstalling the top cover, the inverter should be tested to ensure it was assembled correctly. To test an assembled inverter: Connect a DC power supply to the inverter. Use an appropriate voltage for the inverter under test (12 volts, 24 volts, etc.).
  • Page 10 FXR Power Supply/Control Board Replacement Instructions Place the top cover over the chassis so that the battery terminals protrude through the holes in the cover. Ring Nuts Screws Figure 15 AC Compartment Screws 10. Insert, but do not tighten the 6 screws that connect the top cover to the AC Assembly. See Figure 15. 11.
