SERVICING THE AT10.1
46
Error
Code
Meaning Repair
Procedure
E 04
internal memory 
failure 
Any parameters that you set, such as Float or Equalize voltage, are saved 
internally. The internal memory is tested on startup. If the memory test 
fails, E 04 appears on the front panel display. The error may also appear 
if the controller was trying to write to the memory while a power failure 
occured. 
If an E 04 appears, try restarting the AT10.1 by turning the ac and dc 
breakers off, then on. If the AT10.1 restarts normally, you must reenter 
any changes you made to the factory settings (float voltage, etc.). 
If E 04 appears repeatedly, the internal memory has been damaged. You 
must replace the control circuit board. See Section 3.6 for parts ordering 
information. 
E 05
not used
This error code was formerly used to indicate a reverse battery 
connection. It is not available in the AT10.1. 
E 06
defective R4 or 
R14, or remote 
sense wiring 
failure 
Locate R4 mounted on TB5, on the back of the front panel. Remove the 
resistor and measure its value with an Ohmmeter (see table 3-1 for the 
correct value). If the resistor is not within 1% of the specified value, it 
must be replaced. 
Locate R14 inside the enclosure, connected to TB1(-). Remove the 
lugged end and measure the resistor's value with an Ohmmeter (see table 
3-1 for the correct value). If the resistor is not within 1% of the specified 
value, it must be replaced. 
If you are using remote sense wiring from the battery to the AT10.1, the 
wiring may have failed. The usual failure is an open circuit; a short circuit 
will usually be indicated by smoke or fire in the wiring. 
The AT10.1 displays the error code if it detects this wiring failure. You 
should respond to this problem quickly to be sure that the AT10.1 
regulates the output voltage properly. Wire an annunciator (e.g. buzzer) to 
the summary alarm relay contact (TB3) for remote indication of any 
charger problem, or monitor the AT10.1 operation using the optional DNP-
3/MODBUS communications board. 
If a failure exists in remote sense wiring, the AT10.1 regulates its output 
voltage locally until you correct the problem, see Section 1.9. The locally 
controlled voltage may not reflect the true requirements of the battery. 
When you complete the repair, restart the AT10.1 per Section 2.1.
E 07
dc breaker 
open, or internal 
dc wiring failure 
If the dc breaker is open, open the ac breaker, then reclose the dc and ac 
breakers. If the dc breaker trips again, see the troubleshooting chart in 
Section 3.4. 
If the dc breaker is closed, but you have an E 07 display, check your 
battery. If the battery is disconnected, and you then disconnect the load, 
the AT01.1 may display an E 07 code. Restart the AT10.1 according to 
Section 2.1. 
If the battery and load are OK, see the troubleshooting chart in Section 3.4 
for help in locating the problem. 
E 08
defective 
temperature 
compensation 
probe 
See Applicatio
) for more detailed user instructions.
If a temperature compensation probe is connected to the AT10.1, the 
control circuit detects the probe on startup, and uses the temperature 
measured by the probe to control the output voltage of the AT10.1. To 
understand temperature compensation, see Section 1.11. 
If the temperature compensation probe, or the wiring that connects it to the 
AT10.1, fails during normal operation, the AT10.1 detects the failure, and 
shows E 08 on the front panel meter.
