WARNING: Power must be removed from the ASTAT-
IBP before any servicing operation.
AVERTISSEMENT: Le courant doit être enlevé du
ASTAT-IBP avant de procéder à toute opération de
service.
Cover Removal and Replacement
1. Remove the two 12-point terminal connectors by
inserting a flat-head screwdriver between the
terminal connector and the ASTAT-IBP cover, as
illustrated in Figure 1.
Do not remove the wiring from the terminal
connectors.
Carefully release the terminal connector from the
pins. Carefully pull the terminal connectors, with
the wiring, straight off the ASTAT-IBP starter.
2. Remove the plastic cover by pressing and releasing
the plastic tab on each side of the cover with a flat-
head screwdriver, as illustrated in Figure 2.
3. To reattach the cover, lower it over the circuit
boards. Carefully push down on the cover until the
two tabs snap into place. It may be necessary to push
in slightly on the outside of the lower plastic
housing.
4. Replace the terminal connectors through the plastic
cover onto the connector strips. Ensure that the
terminal connectors snap into place.

Lower the top of the Power Supply Board to view the
red and white gate leads to the SCRs, as shown in
Figure 7.
NOTE: Check the red and white gate wires for a marked
number before removing these wires. Each gate wire
must have a number corresponding to the terminal
numbers (1–12) on the Power Supply Board to facilitate
reassembly.
NOTE: Vérifier les chiffres sur les fils de porte avant
d’enlever ceux-ci. Chaque fil de porte doit avoir un
chiffre correspondant aux chiffres de la borne (1–12)
sur la plaque de la boîte d’alimentation pour faciliter le
réassemblage.
4. With a small screwdriver, remove the red and white
gate wires from the small four-point gate Terminal
Boards, one on the component side and two on the
solder side of the Power Supply Board.
These wires must be reconnected to the new Power
Supply Board at the proper number terminals for
proper operation of the starter.
5. Lift off the Power Supply Board. Remove and save
the hex stand-offs, nuts, and washers from the Power
Supply Board for use on the replacement board.

SCR Module Replacement (Sizes K, L,
and Y)
This procedure requires the following tools and
materials:
•#2 Philips-head screwdriver, 3/16" Allen wrench,
torque wrench
•Scotchbrite or equivalent abrasive
•Mild solvent to clean mounting surfaces
•Electrolube 2GX or equivalent thermal grease
1. Loosen the screws holding the MOVs and bus bars
to the SCR Module to be replaced, as illustrated in
Figure 12, and remove the MOVs and bus bars.
2. Remove the mounting screws at each end of the SCR
Module, as shown in Figure 13, then lift out the
Module. Retain all the parts and hardware removed
from the SCR Module for reassembly with the
replacement Module.
3. Clean the heat sink surface of the replacement
Module with a fine abrasive, such as Scotchbrite.
Remove all particles from the heat sink surface and
wipe the SCR mounting surface with a mild solvent.
Apply a light coat of thermal grease, such as
Electrolube 2GX to both the SCR and heat sink
surfaces.
4. Place the contact face of the SCR Module on the
mating heat sink surface. Move the Module back
and forth several times to distribute the thermal
grease evenly over the contact surfaces.
5. Attach the SCR Module to the heat sink with the
screws removed earlier. Tighten the screws to 44 in-
lb.
6. Reattach the bus bars and MOVs to the SCR Module
with the screws removed earlier. Tighten the screws
to 26 in-lb.
