Ordering Replacement Parts
Contact La Marche to place an order for spare or replacement parts. To order replacement parts; please provide
the model and serial number of the charger, the part needed, and the quantity required.
4.3.1 Ground and Short Circuit Test.
A simple ohmmeter check can be performed to check the charger for a short to ground, primary to secondary
breakdown, AC-DC short, or DC ground. Before installation of a new charger, the above checks should be made
before installing. If a short of this type is suspected on a charger in service, check as follows:
1.
Disconnect AC input power to the charger. Disconnect the DC battery and loads from the charger.
2.
Set ohmmeter scale on ohms scale RX100. Measure from one terminal of the input to one terminal of the
output. Meter should not indicate. If the meter reads full scale deflection, this indicates an AC-DC short.
During shipping, an AC wire may rub against the DC lugs, terminals, etc. and cause a short. These problems
may be eliminated by being very careful in inspecting the wiring to assure the AC wires are not touching the
DC wiring.
3.
Check the input terminals to ground and check the output terminals ground. If the meter indicates full scale
deflection, a wire is touching a metal part of the charger Look for wires that are near any metal part and
inspect for possible breakdown caused by shipping. The heatsink of the diodes and the control charger are
insulated from ground through the mounting legs.
Troubleshooting the TRIAC
1.
On the ohmmeter, set the switches on “ohms”, “DC”, and “Rx10,000” scale.
Disconnect the triac to be checked. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance
between main terminals, MT1 and MT2 in both directions. A good device will
indicate open circuit in both directions, a low resistance indicates a shorted
device. Refer to figure on right.
2.
Set ohmmeter to Rx100 scale. To check for a shorted triac gate lead, measure the
resistance between gate (GATE) lead and main terminal MT1. A reading of zero
ohms in both directions indicates a shorted gate. A reading of infinity in both
directions indicates an open gate and the triac should be replaced. A good device
should have resistance in both directions, but not zero ohms.
