Set Incorrectly
Verify tap settings using charger
schematic or input table found on
charger.
AC-DC Short/AC-Ground Short/DC-
Ground Short
Refer to Section 5.3.1.

(SD1)
Refer to Section 5.3.3.
High DC Voltage Shutdown Set
Incorrectly
Refer to Section 5.1.2.
Open Gate or Wire on Triac TR-1
Refer to Section 5.3.2.
2
DC Breaker Trips
Shorted Power Diodes/Diode Modules
(SD1)
Refer to Section 5.3.3.

A36D and confirm A36D functionality.
Shorted Output Cables
Inspect DC cables for shorts.
Defective Filtering Capacitors
Refer to Section 5.3.4.
Loose Connections on DC Breaker
Inspect DC cable connections and
assure proper insertion.
Incorrect Battery Connected
Measure battery voltage and verify
against charger nameplate.
3
Low Output Voltage or Current
No AC Input Voltage Applied
Measure and confirm input voltage.
Incorrect Battery Connected
Measure battery voltage and verify
against charger nameplate.
Incorrect, Damaged or Loose
Cable/Harness Connections
Visually inspect and verify all internal
wiring using charger schematic.
Incorrect Float/Equalize Voltage
Settings
Refer to Section 3.4.1.1 for output
adjustment instructions.
Low Output Voltage Condition:
charger is in Current Limit
Measure output current and verify
against charger nameplate. If found
to be in current limit, wait for
batteries to charge or remove loads.
Low Output Current Condition:
Batteries are Fully Charged
Confirm by changing to Equalize
mode; current should increase.
