POWERDRIVE 2 CHARGER (EXTERNAL)
4. Using a multimeter set to the diode test function (
positive (+) terminal of the rectifier. Move the positive (+) probe to each of the remaining three rectifier
terminals and note the readings (Figure 5-12, Page 5-16).
4.1. The multimeter should indicate approximately 878 mV with the positive (+) probe on the negative
(–) rectifier terminal.
4.2. The multimeter should indicate approximately 483 mV with the positive (+) probe on one of the AC
rectifier terminals.
4.3. The multimeter should indicate approximately 483 mV with the positive (+) probe on the other AC
rectifier terminal.
4.4. If any other reading is obtained, the rectifier has failed and must be replaced.
5. Using a multimeter set to the diode test function (
negative (–) terminal of the rectifier. Move the positive (+) probe to each of the remaining three rectifier
terminals and note the readings (Figure 5-13, Page 5-16). The multimeter should indicate an overload
(no continuity) for all three of the reaming rectifier terminals. If any other reading is indicated, the rectifier
has failed and must be replaced.
6. On rare occasions, the rectifier may fail as a result of a lightning strike at the charging location.
7. Ensure that the charger is wired properly and all connections are clean and tight. See following CAU-
TION.
CAUT ION
• If connections are not clean and tight, excessive heat will be created and the charger may
become damaged.
TEST PROCEDURE 5 – CHARGER DC CIRCUIT CONTINUITY TEST
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1. See additional WARNING on page 5-1.
1. Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet and the DC cord from the vehicle charger receptacle.
2. Using a multimeter set to the diode test function (
the pin marked positive (+) on the DC plug (Figure 5-14, Page 5-17). Place the negative probe (–) on
the pin marked negative (–). The multimeter should indicate an overload (no continuity).
