5. CALIBRATION AND MAINTENANCE

for the calibration can be seen in Figure 5-1. The calibration steps are outlined
below.

Figure 5-1. Circuit diagram for voltmeter calibration

A.

SWITCH OFF MAINS POWER

Turn off the AC on-off/reset power switch.

B.

SET LOW CHARGE CURRENT

Repeatedly turn the Ampere Adjust knob fully
counter-clockwise to set zero. Turn the knob
forward a few turns to enable the unit to
provide voltage. No current will be drawn as no
battery is connected.
