Troubleshooting

Basic operation checks:
• Check power to the rectifier – check that the AC LED is on
• Check and resolve any fault conditions indicated by the status indicators
• Check that the display is showing that it is delivering current
• Disconnect load and battery leads. Connect a load to the battery terminals. Check the voltage across the load is
as expected
• Connect a current meter in series with the load. Adjust the load and check the current delivered by the rectifier
is as expected
Load Checks:
• Connect battery but disconnect the main load to rectifier. Connect a current meter in series with the battery.
Verify the current drawn by the battery from the SPS is as expected. Check that the battery takes the charge.
• Connect the DC load to the SPS with AC off and disconnect the battery. Turn AC on and check that the
current drawn by the load is as expected, and within the capabilities of the SPS and battery.
Fine Adjustment Checks: (see Section 4 on adjustments for instructions)
• Check Boost and Float voltages
• Check Boost to Float current
• Check Temperature Compensation Slope
• Check LVD operation

Fuses

Although there are fuses inside the rectifier, these are rated such that their failure indicates a fault requiring
qualified service. Do not attempt to replace these fuses.
However for IEC 60950 the fuse ratings are required to be specified. The following fuses are soldered to the PCB:
• FH101 – 125mA 250V ETF Bussmann
