Check ac input
voltage •
Measure between TB1-L1 and TB1-L2
using an ac voltmeter. Value must be
within +10%, -12% of nominal voltage.
Input Vac
Check dc
output voltage •
Measure at TB1(+) and TB1(-) using a dc
voltmeter. Value should agree with front
panel voltmeter within +/-
0.25 %, and
must be correct values for your battery. If
the AT10.1 is using a temperature
compensation probe, see the graph on
page 23 to determine correct battery
voltage. You need to know the battery
temperature for this step.
