Battery test and charging procedures

Test procedure for installed battery
View battery information and test battery operation as
follows:
1. Scroll down the front panel HMI to the BATTERY menu
item and press the ENTER button. Battery Voltage and
Current will be displayed:
VBat = XX.XX Volts
PHASE FAULT
IBat = -X.XX Amps
ABOVE MIN TRIP
2. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the Test
Battery command. Press the ENTER button.
The following message will appear: Test Battery
(CONFIRM).
N otee: The battery cannot be tested when the control is
powered from the battery only (no AC power). If a
battery test is attempted with battery power only, the
test results will display as ATTENTION – 4 (Battery
Test Blocked).
3. Press the ENTER key. The (TESTING...) message will
appear. The test duration is approximately five seconds.
If the battery is OK, the (PASS) message will appear.

"ATTENTION – 4" indicates Battery Test Blocked**
* Battery Test Trouble indicates that the test results
were not lower than battery failure voltage (15V) and
not higher than the test voltage (22.8V).
(LOCKOUT)
** Battery Test Blocked indicates a battery test
was attempted with battery power only. The battery
cannot be tested when the control is powered from
the battery only (no AC power).
4. The battery test results can be viewed by pressing the
down arrow. The following information will be displayed:

Alarm condition
During a battery test a 5Ω, 55 watt resistor is placed across
the battery terminals for approximately 5 seconds. The
SPEAR single-phase recloser control measures the battery
voltage, if the voltage drops below 22.8 VDC the BATTERY
LED illuminates (Figure 41) and a battery alarm is issued, if
configured, at the end of the test.

Test procedure for uninstalled battery
The entire process should be conducted in a clean
environment, such as a repair shop.
Refer to Table 17 and follow this procedure to perform a
bench test on a control battery in a service shop:
EDIT DATA PORT
1. Remove the control from service. Refer to the Remove
the control from service procedure within the Control
testing section of this manual.
2. Remove the battery from the control and carefully
transport it to a suitable service facility.

4. Apply test load and measure battery voltage after 5
seconds of load to determine voltage drop. Refer to
Table 17 for Bench Test Load Condition.

5. Remove test load.
TEST PROFILE
If the battery fails the test or is at least four years old, it
should be replaced. Refer to Table 18 for battery catalog part
