We have included the theory of operation schematic diagrams, simplified drawings, service tips and procedures to assist a trained service representative with board-level repairs.
Section 2 Service Words of Caution: High Voltage Use caution when servicing. When servicing the unit, potentially dangerous high voltage levels are exposed. Disconnect the power cord whenever possible to avoid electric shock. Static Electricity (ESD) Adhere to standard ESD practices at all times when servicing this equipment.
Section 2 Service Performance Checks The following performance checks will help you (1) determine whether or not the system is operating properly, and (2) isolates a problem, if there is one. System Set Up Make sure the system is connected as follows: Be sure that power is being provided by the wall outlet.
Problem Solving Troubleshooting Experience shows that many service calls are due to improper operator technique and poor connections. Before taking apart the light source, make sure that setup errors are not causing the problem. When checking voltages or signals, be sure to verify signal through the harness wires, connectors, and on the circuit board.

Power is not turned "ON" Turn power on. Lamp Door Interlock Verify that the lamp cover switch is disengaged.
Disassembly and Repair About This Section: This section describes how to remove and replace major sub assemblies of the 49501 (Medical Version) and 40501I (Industrial Version) Solarc Light Source. Note: Refer to the "Bubble Number" on each drawing and the cross reference on the Parts List to determine the correct part number.
Section 4 Disassembly and Repair Left Housing Assy Disassembly Remove the two screw plugs: ___Drill through the center of the plug with a 1/16 drill in a pin vise and pull straight up. Remove the Bottom Housing: ___ Loosen thumb screw on the back of the unit and slide the assembly towards the back of the unit.
Section 4 Disassembly and Repair Ballast Board Replacement Lamp: ___ Remove the lamp from the lamp holder, and disconnect the lamp socket. Wire Tie: ___ Cut the tie wrap that holds the black and white wires that lead to the ballast board and lift the metal chassis off to one side. Ballast PCB: ___ Unscrew the four Phillips head screws that hold the ballast board in place.
Section 4 Disassembly and Repair Fan / Secondary Wire Harness Replacement * The fan comes as part of the secondary wire harness assembly; therefore, the entire secondary wire harness assembly must be replaced. Power Supply PCB: ___ Remove the power supply board and the ballast board as described in earlier in section 4 of this document.
Section 4 Disassembly and Repair Lamp Cover Safety Interlock Switch: Safety Switch Assy: ___ Unscrew the two Phillips head screws that hold the switch assembly to the chassis. Keep the outside insulators. Primary Wires: ___ Disconnect the primary wires from the switch, and remove the switch.

Section 5 Maintenance Check Ground Continuity Disconnect the power cord from the Solarc Light Source. Verify the impedance between the ground pin of the IEC detachable ground cord and the thumb screw meets the requirements as outlined on drawing A03387 in Appendix. A). Measuring Leakage Current To check the Chassis Leakage Current: Connect the light source to a leakage tester (refer to figure 5-1), and measure leakage current...

Section 5 Maintenance LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST SET-UP When the light source is used in conjunction with other accessories, it may be necessary to measure the leakage current level of the entire set-up. A typical system setup is shown in Figure 5-1. Using a standard leakage tester, this set-up will allow the overall system leakage current to be measured.
Section 5 Maintenance FUSE REPLACEMENT Turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power cord from the light source. Open fuse drawer located as part of the power cord receptacle. Remove fuse by pulling it out firmly. Check fuse condition. Replace if blown. Replacement fuse: 250V, 1.0 Amps.
