Check ac input
voltage •
Measure between TB1-L1, TB1-L2 &
TB1-L3 using an ac voltmeter. Value
must be within +10% and -12% of
nominal voltage.
Input Vac
Check dc
output voltage
•
Measure at TB1 (+) and TB1(-) using a dc
voltmeter. Value should agree with the
front panel voltmeter within +/-0.25%,
and must be correct values for your
battery. If the AT30 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.
