OPERATING THE AT30

2.2. USING THE AT30 FRONT PANEL FEATURES

2.2.1. If the meter displays an error or status message
The AT30 microprocessor control circuitry performs diagnostic checks of
the battery charger during system start-up, then continuously during
operation. If it detects a failure (E ##) or special status (A ##), an
intermittent code will appear on the front instrument panel, displayed
between dc output values.
Code
rating resistor R2 open or defective
E 01
E 02 short circuit on dc output
E 03 high dc voltage shutdown occurrence
E 04 internal memory failure
E 06 voltage sense failure (internal / external / remote)
E 07 dc breaker open, or dc output wiring defective
E 08 remote TempCo probe defective
E 10 open internal feedback loop
E 12 internal over-temp circuit defective
E 13 rectifier over-temperature occurrence
E 14 forced load sharing not working properly
E 15 battery open

2.2.2. Selecting the meter mode

• Press the
METER MODE
meter has four (4) operating modes:
1. Alternating between output voltage and output current. When the
AT30 is in a timed equalize mode, the meter alternates between
output voltage, output current, and equalize hours remaining.
2. Displaying output voltage only. The DC Volts indicator lights.
3. Displaying output current only. The DC Amperes indicator lights.
4. Displaying equalize hours remaining only. The EQLZ HRS
REMAINING indicator lights. If the AT30 is not in a timed equalize
mode, the meter displays the full programmed equalize time.
