OPERATING THE AT10.1
2.3.8. Using the Low Level Detector (LLD)
The AT10.1 battery charger is equipped with a summary alarm safety 
override circuit. This feature forces the summary alarm (common alarm) 
relay contact to transfer, sending an alarm, even if there is a catastrophic 
failure of the charger's control circuitry. A low battery voltage triggers the 
safety circuit. 
Main control circuit board hardware, not software, maintains the low level 
detect circuit. Therefore, to remotely monitor this alarm, user connections 
must be made at TB3. The summary alarm contacts on the auxiliary alarm 
relay pc board at TB4 will not signal a low level detect alarm. 
If you have a dc power supply, you can adjust the battery voltage that 
triggers the alarm. On the back of the main control circuit board, find the 
potentiometer RA1, as shown in the figure below. 
Disconnect all ac and dc power sources from the AT10.1, and connect 
your dc power supply to the dc output terminals of the charger (positive to 
positive and negative to negative). Adjust the power supply to the voltage 
at which you want to activate the alarm. 
NOTE: You need at least 50% of the nominal output voltage to power the 
AT10.1 control circuit board. 
Adjust RA1 with a small jeweler's screwdriver clockwise until the alarm 
just activates. A red LED indicator (DS10) next to RA1 indicates when 
the alarm is active.
