LI-282 Rev. 2.2 September 2019

5. Maintenance and servicing (preventive and corrective)

5.1

Verifying Charge Voltage

Equipment

Example

Calibrated high-impedance
digital voltmeter for 30 Volts
DC.

Fluke 179, many other meters with
4-1/2 digits or more resolution.

This test is to be done with a battery and with AC power connected. This
verification procedure is recommended once per year.

Set the meter to read a DC voltage near 30 Volts. Connect the meter leads to the
red (positive) and black (negative) test points on the Activator 282.

Apply power to the Activator 282.

Note the voltmeter reading and note the display reading. The display may
bounce up and down by a few digits, but the average reading must agree with the
voltmeter reading within ±0.20 Volts.
