Hi All,
My Pentair IC20 SWG appears dead with no lights. Looking through previous TFP posts, I figured I'd check the Power Center to check that it's getting power and passing that onto the IC20. First, checking the line input voltage, the transformer is getting 2 x 120VAC (yellow and white transformer wires) which seems fine. However, the green LED on the circuit board was not lit. Next, I checked the 10amp fuse (red wires) - of course, the fuse holder immediately fell apart - this seems a common 'feature'. On inspection, I could measure 30VAC across the fuse holder, but the fuse had indeed blown. I replaced the fuse holder with an in-line fuse holder and a 250V 10A AGC fuse from Home Depot. It worked for a split second - green LED on for an instant until the fuse blew again.
I'm not sure where the problem lies. I suspect it's the little rectifier board (pictured), something pulling too much current, but nothing looks shorted or burned out. Both the IC20 cell and Power Center are over 10 years old, so both could be suspect!
I'm hoping someone has solved a similar problem or has some useful suggestions for troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
