I. CHECKING
Power of heating resistance :
S&Ions ., 140 to 160 watts at 13.5 1: 0.2 volts
Estates .,.,............: . . . . . . . .._.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ~.. 130 to 150 watts at 13.5 t 0.2 volts
To check :he heating resistance of a rear window. measure
Either the current flowing in the resistance, using an ammeter connected in series to the supply lead of
the element. The current should be :
Saloons ,..., ., ,. ,. ,..,. ,,., ,,,., _, ,. .,., ..l_. 9.2 to 10.6 amps at 12 volts
Estates . . .., ,,..._.__.. .:_._ ._ . ..8 5 to 9.8 amps at 12 volts
Or the resistance using an ohmmeter. Resistance should be :

II. REPAIRING
1. Replacement of terminals : Tin that part of the terminal to be soldered. Solder it in the required location ( soldering iron ).
2. Repairing a section of the heating element : a) Obtain from the Replacement Parts Department :
- 1 Repair kit .,,..,,..,,.,.,.,.,,,.,.,,....,................,,,,,...,., ZC. 9 855 128 U
This M SECURIGLACE ))‘outfit includes :
- 1 Bottle of abrasive cleaning powder
- 1 Small bottle of conductive enamel
- 1 Tube of adhesive
- 1 Tube of hardener for adhesive
- 1 Small bottle of metallic powder
- 1 Roll of thick self-adhesive tape
- 1 Warning lamp for detecting cuts
- 1 Roll of self-adhesive tape for detecting cuts ( thermopaper )
- 1 Plastic spatula
- 1 Small glass plate ( for preparation of mixtures )
b)
Locating the cut : With the resistance fed as normal :
- Locate the defective resistance wire by sticking the adhesive detection tape at the centre of the rear
window ( interior side ) and on all resistance wires so that the tape is perpendicular to the latter.
The unbroken wires will turn the thermo-paper blue when they increase in temperature.
- Slide the two pointed probes of the warning lamp support on the cut wire. When the lamp lights up,
the pointed probes are on both sides of the break in the wire.
By slightly moving the probes along the length of the wire, the exact extent of the cut can be determined.
