• 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).

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.
