The LAMP TEST key does not test the AC ON indicator. The AC ON indicator lights whenever ac power is present, and the ac circuit breaker is turned on. The LAMP TEST key does not operate when ac power is off. To test the action of the AT10.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3. SETTING PARAMETERS IN THE AT10.1 2.3.1. Understanding Parameter Settings You can change the settings of the AT10.1 while the charger is operating, using the front panel controls. The changes you make take effect immediately, and are saved internally. If the charger is taken out of service, and then later returned to service, it restarts using the last values you set.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.2. Setting the Float and Equalize voltages • Press the EDIT/ENTER key. The FLOAT and DC VOLTS indicators light, and the display flashes the present value of the float voltage. Press and release the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value in the display by one count, or press and hold the UP or DOWN key to scroll the value in the display upward or downward. When the display shows the float voltage you want to set, release the UP or DOWN key.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.3. Setting the Equalize Timer • Press the EDIT/ENTER key until the EQLZ HRS REMAINING, MANUAL TIMER and AUTO EQLZ TIMER indicators light, and the display flashes the present value of the equalize timer duration in hours. Press and release the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value in the display by one count, or press and hold the UP or DOWN key to scroll the value in the display upward or downward.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Setting the High DC Voltage Alarm • Press the EDIT/ENTER key until the HIGH DC VOLTAGE indicator flashes, and the display flashes the present value of the high dc voltage alarm. Press and release the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value in the display by one count, or press and hold the UP or DOWN key to scroll the value in the display upward or downward. When the display shows the high dc voltage alarm point that you want to set, release the UP or DOWN key.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Adjusting Ground Detection Sensitivity You can adjust the sensitivity of the ground detection alarm circuit. You must have a test resistor whose value is the sensitivity you want. You can adjust the sensitivity from 5 to 50 kΩ. The potentiometer for adjusting ground detection circuit sensitivity is located on the main control circuit board. It is the lower of the two potentiometers labeled RA3 SENS, as shown in the figure at the right.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Using Ground Detection in Charger Standby Mode If you put the AT10.1 into standby mode by opening the dc circuit breaker (CB2), the ground detection circuit will send an erroneous negative ground alarm. There are two ways to work around this: • • Disable the ground detection circuit while the charger is in standby, as described below. Put the charger into standby by opening the ac input circuit breaker (CB1), and leaving the dc circuit breaker closed.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.6. Enabling the High DC Voltage shutdown feature The AT10.1 has a built-in high dc voltage shutdown feature. In case of any maladjustment or internal failure that results in a continuous output voltage that is too high, the AT10.1 shuts down after 30 seconds to protect the battery. The digital display shows E 03, and the summary alarm relay contact transfers. The AT10.1 is shipped with the high dc voltage shutdown feature disabled.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.7. Adjusting the Voltmeter Accuracy The AT10.1 voltmeter is adjusted at the factory to display the actual output voltage within ±0.25%. If you replace any component that affects meter accuracy, such as the main control PC board or R4, you should readjust the meter. This adjustment procedure is different from all others, because the meter reading remains constant, while the output voltage of the charger changes.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.8. Using the Low Level Detector (LLD) The AT10.1 battery charger is equipped with a summary alarm safety override circuit. This feature forces the summary alarm (common alarm) relay contact to transfer, sending an alarm, even if there is a catastrophic failure of the charger's control circuitry. A low battery voltage triggers the safety circuit. Main control board hardware, not software, maintains the low level detect circuit.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.9. Using the front panel security feature The AT10.1 charger is shipped with all the front instrument panel keys enabled. You can disable the following front panel functions: • Selecting Equalize method • Changing settings using the EDIT/ENTER key • Toggling the high dc voltage shutdown feature To disable the front instrument panel keys, open the AT10.1 door and locate the small plastic jumper J9 on the right side of the main control board.
