Number scheme is a bad description sorry.

the one found in PDF link in here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?155757-FMTV-Power-Distribution-Panel-PDP-info

and the one found in an article here https://www.logsa.army.mil/pub/psissues/PS 561.pdf *

Are different. Numbers corresponding to Circuit Breakers and Relays look the same...... the descriptions of some of them appear different. See CB 70 for example WTF?? Found some same... anyone see others that are different? Which is correct?



* notification of error was posted in later issue (PS 571) about above article found in PS 561. Buttt...... See below how it says the chart matching circuit breakers is correct.


*"Page 8 of PS 561 (Aug 99) incorrectly stated that circuit breaker (CB) 35 is not used in FMTV trucks. In fact, ***CB35 must be used on all FMTVs equipped with WTEC II electronic transmission controls. FMTVs equipped with ***WTEC III controls do not use CB35, however. The chart matching circuit breakers to circuits on Page 9 of PS 561 is correct".


SIDE NOTE see above ... ***Wtech II Wtech III hint on which one you have installed without taking apart things below the panel to look for black box with Allison on it.

Wtec 2 is in earlier trucks 2 digit display on keypad wtec 3 is single digit keypad. The breaker panels on the trucks are marked and the inside of the cover has a breaker/relay diagram. Which truck do you have. Post a pic of your panel and im sure we can clear up any confusion.

Not concerned right now about which wtec is installed but thanks. Just bringing up that two resources of info on the Circuit Breakers etc. are different and wondered which was correct. Wtec and relations to fuses being a way to figure out which Wtec is installed was just a something saw interesting

Anyone see other differences between the two resources? Which diagram has CB70 correct? Got to admit can only get to the PS issue to open every so often. Says site is down.
