SERVICING THE AT30

Error
Code
Meaning
Repair Procedure
E 08
Defective 
temperature 
compensation 
probe 
(continued) 
If the probe checks good, examine the wiring between the probe and the 
AT30. Also check the connection of the cable to the control circuit board 
on the back of the front panel. If the wiring is OK, then the probe needs 
to be replaced. Once you have replaced the probe, you must restart the 
AT30 to activate temperature compensation. 
E 09
Misadjusted 
current limit 
The output current limit is set at the factory to 110% of the rated output 
current (e.g. for a 50 Adc charger, the current limit is set to 55 Adc). You 
can adjust the current limit downward to as low as 50% of the output 
current, if you have special requirements such as limited ac power 
available. You should do this only if the normal dc load on the system is 
smaller than the current limit. 
If you do reduce the current limit setting below 100% of rated current, 
your connected load might require more current than the AT30 can 
deliver. If this happens, the battery will not charge properly. If this 
occurs, the front panel displays the error code 
E 09. You should increase
the current limit setting so that the AT30 can supply all the current 
required by the load, and still charge the battery. The current limit should 
be set to at least 5% greater than the maximum continuous dc load 
current. 
NOTE: The common alarm relay is not set for this condition. 
E 10
Open internal 
feedback loop 
A redundant internal feedback loop (control loop) is provided as 
redundancy, to increase reliability when remote sensing is used. If there 
is a problem with the internal loop wiring, the AT30 will display 
E 10.
Check the internal wiring in the signal harness, especially wire #
50. Also
check the harness connector (J25) on the Gate Driver pc board (A15).
E 11
Not used
This error code is not implemented at this time.
E 12
Defective 
internal 
thermostat 
The AT30 rectifier heat sinks assemblies are equipped with over-
temperature thermostats. On startup, the AT30 tests the thermostats, 
and displays 
E 12 if one or more are defective. You can check a
thermostat by disconnecting the wiring from the thermostat terminals, and 
measuring continuity. The thermostat should be closed (NC) at normal 
room temperature. 
E 13
Internal over-
temperature 
One or more of the rectifier assembly thermostats has detected an over-
temperature condition. If the rectifier is equipped with fans, check all fans 
for proper operation. Also be sure that all enclosure vents are clear of 
debris, and that the ambient temperature is below 50°C (122°F). 
E 14
forced load 
sharing not 
working 
properly 
See Appendix F on page 92. Verify both AT30s are functioning properly. 
Ensure that the forced load sharing interconnection cable assembly is not 
broken, is properly installed, and that the connector for the Secondary 
charger has the jumper as described. Ensure that both AT30s are 
connected to the same ac supply and that source phase rotation is the 
same for both AT30s. 
A 01
manual equalize 
enabled for 
more than 24 
hours 
If AT30 was accidentally left in manual equalize mode, switch unit back to 
float, manual equalize timer, or auto-equalize timer mode. 
A 02
Equalize mode 
inhibited 
If you set the equalize timer to
zero hours, the equalize mode is inhibited.
When you try to put the AT30 into equalize mode with a front panel 
control, the display shows the message 
A 02. If you want to enable the
equalize mode, set the equalize timer to one (1) or more hours.
