Unable to Control Outupt Power Level

The following is a description of a condition in which you are unable to control the output power level on your Enercon Compak 2000 power supply.

The following is a description of a condition in which you are unable to control the output power level on your Enercon Compak 2000 power supply.

Unable to Control Output Power Level
Unable to Control Output Power Level
Symptom & Fault
Symptom The power supply is in the run condition. The up/down arrows do not have any effect on the power level.
Fault The fault could be attributed to a loose ribbon cable, a defective membrane, or main control board.
NOTE! If the power supply has a manual/remote option, the switch must be in the manual position for the membrane control to be effective.
   
Solution
  1. Check the ribbon cable connections on the main control board. Ensure the blue striped side of the cable is connected to pin 1 of the plugs, If the membrane is remotely mounted, ensure the interconnecting wires are connected properly and the connections are tight.
     
  2. Check the DC voltage reference provided by the membrane switches at the control board. (Item 2)
    1. With a DC voltmeter, connect the common lead to TB1 pin 6 and the positive lead to U1 pin 1. Ensure the voltage increased to 5 VDC when the up arrow is depressed.
    2. With a DC voltmeter, connect the common lead to TB1 pin 5 and the positive lead to U1 pin 5. Ensure the voltage decreases to 0 VDC when the down arrow is depressed.
    3. If the voltages ramp correctly, replace the control board.
    4. If the voltage does not change:
      1. Check the ribbon cable for damage. (Item 19)
      2. Replace the membrane. (Item 1)
