Malfunctions, MID 164 Group 30: Electrical system

Checking the potentiometer in

electronic controls
Special tools: Multimeter 9812519, Adapter cable
885675

1
Electronic controls:
Cut the current with the main switches. Undo the ca-
ble between the HCU and the control. If necessary, re-
move the control unit from the helm station.

Mechanical controls with control adapter:

Cut the current with the main switches. Undo the ca-
ble between the HCU and the control adapter.
Remove the control cable from the potentiometer con-
trol arm. Then remove the potentiometer from the con-
trol adapter.

2
Check that there is no oxide or damp in the connec-
tors.

3
Remove the connector from the potentiometer. Con-
nect adapter cable 885675 to the potentiometer.

4
Use multimeter 9812519 to measure the resistance of
the potentiometer.

Measurement points Nominal value

1–2 R ≈ 2.0 kΩ ±10%

5
Use multimeter 9812519 to do resistance measure-
ment against the potentiometer. Move the control le-
ver between its two end positions.
Measurement points:
Pins 1 – 3 or. 2 – 3.
Nominal value:
The multimeter should indicate a value over 0.90 kΩ
at one end position and a value below 2.9 kΩ at the
other end position.
