)with a diode scale is preferred. You should have a RED lead
in the positive (+) input and a BLACK lead in the negative (-) input.
Preparation: Different meters give different readings on diode tests. KNOW YOUR METER !! Some
meters read backwards due to battery polarity. Test YOUR meter on a known good diode
bridge before performing tests so that you know how your meter will act.
Refer to page 32 for the drive power schematic and semi-conductor diagrams.
Precautions: If the transistor module is to be tested in circuit, make sure power has been off long
enough for the capacitor banks to completely discharge.
Procedure: The procedure is the same for in circuit or out of circuit testing. If a component tests bad
in
circuit, it must be tested again after it is removed because of the possibility of alternate
paths when the component is in circuit.
