Bench Test Procedure
If you suspect a problem with your ABF10, it is possible to perform a bench test to verify
functionality of the unit and determine if a repair or service is necessary. To perform a
bench test on the ABF10, follow the directions below:
1. Connect a battery to terminals “12” or “24” and B- on the ABF10.
Battery
voltage should match the voltage of the ABF10! You should hear a click
after approximately 1 second and the “Flashing” lamp should be
illuminated.
2. Connect a multimeter capable of reading DC voltage to F+ and F- on the ABF10
.
3.
You should read battery voltage at terminals F+ and F- on the ABF10 and
the “Flashing” lamp should be illuminated.
4. Apply 120VAC to terminals AC1 and AC2 on the ABF10.
You should hear a
click and read 0VDC on F+ and F- on the ABF10. The “Operating” lamp
should be illuminated at this time and the “Flashing” lamp should be dark.
5. Remove the 120VAC from terminals AC1 and AC2 on the ABF10. After
approximately 1 second
You should hear a click and read battery voltage on
F+ and F- on the ABF10. The “Operating” lamp should be dark and the
“Flashing” lamp should be illuminated.
6. Remove the battery voltage from B+ and B- on the ABF10.
You should hear
the relay click and read 0VDC on F+ and F- on the ABF10.
If your ABF10 passed all of the operational tests above, the unit is good. If any one of
the tests failed or you are unsure of the result, please contact Power-Tronics for
assistance.
