2.3.7. Adjusting the Voltmeter Accuracy

The AT10.1 voltmeter is adjusted at the factory to display the actual
output voltage within ±0.25%. If you replace any component that affects
meter accuracy, such as the main control PC board or

R4, you should

readjust the meter. This adjustment procedure is different from all others,
because the meter reading remains constant, while the output voltage of
the charger changes. Do this adjustment with a fully charged battery and
with no load connected.

First, use the

Edit procedure to adjust the float voltage to the desired

value. See Section 2.3.2 for instructions on setting the float voltage.
Second, press and hold the

UP

key, then press the

EQLZ MTHD

key.

The

DC VOLTS

METER MODE

indicator will light, and the meter display

flashes the output voltage reading. Measure the output voltage of the
AT10.1 using a dc meter accurate to ±0.25% or better.

While watching the meter connected to the AT10.1 output (not the front
panel meter), press the

UP

or

DOWN

key until the actual output voltage

matches the float setting on the front panel meter.

Each time you press

UP

or

DOWN

, you change the AT10.1 output voltage

by a small amount. Continue to press

UP

or

DOWN

until the actual output

voltage agrees with the front panel reading within ±1%

NOTE: Allow one or two seconds for the output voltage to stabilize
each time you press the

UP

or

DOWN

key.

When you are finished adjusting the output voltage, the AT10.1 waits 5
seconds, then the display returns to normal operation.
