SUBJECT
: To change condenser fan relay 660752034 by relay
660752200
TERMS & CONDITIONS
: -
DESCRIPTION:
The condenser fans are switched by relay K21M. Two versions of this relay have been used in
production: earlier coaches have a 50 amp relay fitted (VH660752034); current coaches are
equipped with a 150 amp relay (VH11374693). Whenever a malfunctioning 50 amp relay is
replaced, it is recommended to use the 150 amp version as a service replacement part. The
procedure is explained in Service Bulletin SB1306.
Customers who have a zinc plated cylinder type relay VH660752200 in stock can use this relay as
an alternative for the 150 amp relay. The procedure is explained in this Service Bulletin.
Old and new parts are interchangeable, provided minor modifications are made. Please refer to the
material list and step-by-step procedure for modification instructions.

To change condenser fan relay K21M:
1) Locate the K21M condenser fan relay.
2) With cutter pliers, cut-off all wires attached to the K21M relay, as close as possible to the two
ring terminals and the multi-wire connector.
3) Undo and remove the two screws securing relay 660752034. Remove the relay.
4) Secure replacement relay 660752200 from the kit to the switchboard.
5) Take diode 660746459 from the kit. Slide a piece of black heat shrink tubing from the kit on
both diode wires. Make sure to have approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) of the wire free of
insulation. Insulate the diode wires by heating the shrink tubing. The function of the diode is to
protect the multiplex system node against possible induction voltages generated during relay
switching
6) For the red wires: slide a piece of red heat shrink tubing from the kit on both red wires. Strip
back the wires. With a crimping tool, fit ring terminal 10956164 from the kit to both red wires.
Insulate the ring terminal bodies by heating the shrink tubing. Connect the red wires to the
relay stud terminals.
7) For the green wire: strip back the green wire. Crimp the green wire together with the wire of
the diode located at the silver band side to pin terminal 660765905 from the kit.
8) For the brown wire: strip back the brown wire. Crimp the brown wire together with the other
wire of the diode to pin terminal 660765905 from the kit.
9) Connect the terminal with the green wire to connection #50 of the relay; the terminal with the
brown wire to connection #31 of the relay.
