• If approximately 13.5 VDC is not measured,
proceed to TEST 3 - Check Utility Voltage Input .
• If approximately 13.5 VDC is measured, proceed
to Step 12 .
12. Disconnect meter test leads.
13. Set control panel system switch to
OFF .
14. Remove the 15 Amp fuse.
15. Connect the negative (
- ) battery cable.
16. Reinstall the 15 Amp fuse.
17. Set control panel system switch to
ON .
18. Reset the exercise timer. See Resetting the Exercise
Timer.
TEST 3 - Check Utility Voltage Input
1. Set control panel system switch to OFF .
2. Remove the 15 Amp fuse.
3. Remove screws to gain access to the control panel
board.
4. Ensure utility power is turned ON to the automatic
transfer switch.
5. Set the meter to measure AC Voltage. Measure the
AC voltage at the 2-pin connector. 240VAC should be
measured (
A , Figure 9).
• If voltage is present, proceed to TEST 4 -
Measure Trickle Charge Output Voltage at
control panel
.
• If no voltage is present, repair or replace the
wiring and fuses between utility power and the
control panel.
Figure 9
TEST 4 - Measure Trickle Charge Output
Voltage at control panel
1. Set control panel system switch to OFF .
2. Remove the 15 Amp fuse.
3. Remove screws to gain access to the control panel
board.
4. Ensure utility power is turned ON to the automatic
transfer switch.
5. Set the meter to measure DC voltage.
6. Connect the positive (
+ ) test lead to Pin #1, Wire #13
and the negative ( - ) test lead to Pin #2, Wire #0 at
the control panel ( A , Figure 10).

7. While observing the meter, momentarily touch Wire
#13 (previously disconnected in TEST 2 ) to the
positive (+) battery cable. This will turn on the trickle
charge long enough to read the trickle charge output
on the meter.
8. About 13.5VDC should be measured when the wire is
removed from the post. The trickle charge voltage
will diminish quickly.
WARNING Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
