Test Procedure 3 - AC Power and Continuity Check of AC Circuit
1. Disconnect the AC power supply cord from its outlet and the DC plug from the vehicle receptacle.
2. Check the AC circuit breaker on the front of the charger and reset it if necessary.
3. Check the AC line fuse or circuit breaker in the storage facility.
4. With a multimeter set at 500 volts AC, check incoming AC voltage. Insert blades into outlet; voltage should be
105 to 128 volts. If proper voltage is not present, have building wiring checked by a licensed electrical con-
tractor.
5. Remove charger cover and check continuity of the AC circuit:
5.1.
Disconnect the tan lead (from the primary coil) and the black lead (from the circuit breaker) from the
charger relay. Connect the tan lead to the circuit breaker
(Figure 14-16, Page 14-17)
.
5.2.
With relay bypassed, there should be continuity across AC cord blades
(Figure 14-11, Page 14-14)
.
6. If the circuit is not complete, check the wiring of the AC cord, transformer primary coil leads, internal AC cir-
cuit breaker, and jumper wire
(Figure 14-16, Page 14-17)
.
7. If the charger is wired correctly, check the continuity of the AC cord, transformer primary coil, and the jumper
wire individually
(Test Procedure 8)
.
Test Procedure 4 - Diodes
Use test procedure 4A for single diode failures and testing of diodes. If both diodes have failed, use test procedure
4B.
Procedure 4A - Single Diode Failure
A single diode failure is indicated by one fuse link blowing (closed circuit diode) or by the charger output being
low (open circuit diode). If a diode has failed, the entire heat sink assembly must be replaced. To check diodes:
1. Disconnect the AC cord from its outlet and the DC plug from the receptacle, then remove the charger cover.
2. Disconnect one transformer secondary coil lead from the diode terminal
(Figure 14-12, Page 14-15)
.
3. Using a low voltage continuity tester or multimeter set to diode test function, connect the red (+) tester lead
to the diode mounting plate and the black (-) tester lead to a diode terminal and note the reading
(Figure 14-

•
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CORDS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS TO THE CHARGER. FIRST
DISCONNECT THE AC CORD FROM THE OUTLET AND THEN DISCONNECT THE DC CORD FROM THE VEHICLE.
