WARNING
Instructions
All vents clean and open.
Dust and debris removed from inside unit.
TB1 connections all tight.
Internal wiring connections tight, slip-on
connectors fully seated. Wire and lug
insulation in satisfactory condition.
Terminations at battery or dc bus are tight
and corrosion free.
Measure between TB1-L1, TB1-L2 &
TB1-L3 using an ac voltmeter. Value
must be within +10% & -12% of nominal
voltage.
Measure at TB1 (+) and TB1(-) using a dc
voltmeter. Value should agree with the
front panel voltmeter within +/-0.25%,
and must be correct values for your
battery. If the AT30 is using a
temperature compensation probe, see the
graph on page 23 to determine correct
battery voltage. You need to know the
battery temperature for this step.
Measure ac ripple at battery terminals
using an ac voltmeter set to the milliVolts
scale. Check against specification in
Appendix A on page 64.
