ATLANTIC 125 - 200
Thermal switch test
•
Remove the air dam,
•
Disconnect the two connectors.
•
Release and remove the thermal switch (2).
•
Set a multimeter (3) to the Ohm range to the thermal
switch (2) as shown in the figure.
•
Suspend the thermal switch (2) in a container filled with
coolant (4).
•
Suspend a thermometer (5) with a 0-150°C (32 -302°F)
range in the container.
•
Place the container on a gas burner (6) and heat up
the coolant gradually.
•
Check the temperature reading of the thermometer (4)
and the resistance reading indicated by the multimeter.
•
The switch operating threshold is between 90 and
100°C (194 - 212°F). When this threshold is exceeded,
tester reading should change from ∞ to 0 ohm.
REAR TOP BOX LIGHT SWITCH TEST
•
Raise the saddle and check continuity across the two
terminals with a multimeter set to the Ohm range.
Correct reading when switch is released (saddle raised) :
0 ohm
Correct reading with switch pressed (saddle closed): ∞
