4. Make sure that the capacitor coil leads and the secondary coil leads are not touching one another.
Then, with the relay by-passed, plug the AC cord into an outlet. If the AC line fuse blows or the circuit
breaker trips, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced.
5. If this does not occur, use a multimeter to check the transformer secondary voltage across leads No. 1
and No. 4, and the capacitor coil voltage across leads No. 5 and No. 6 (Figure 23-13). If the measured
voltages are approximately 48 volts or lower for the secondary coil, or less than approximately 385 volts
for the capacitor, the transformer is shorted internally and must be replaced.
6. If the transformer output voltages are correct, disconnect the AC cord from the outlet and proceed as
follows:
6.1. Check the capacitor to be sure that its rating is 3 microfarads, 660 volts AC, and then carefully
reconnect the capacitor coil leads No. 5 and No. 6 to the capacitor terminals.
6.2. After making sure that the secondary coil leads are not touching one another, connect the AC
cord to an outlet and measure the transformer secondary voltage across No. 1 and No. 4 leads.
6.3. If the voltage reading is the same as the voltage reading in step 5 (which eliminates the capacitor
from the circuit), the capacitor may be defective or the coil leads may not be making proper elec-
trical contact (See Test Procedure 6). If the voltage readings are correct, both the transformer
and the capacitor are good; refer to Test Procedure 5 for further tests of the DC circuit.
TEST PROCEDURE 8
Battery State of Charge Test:
1. When the charger has shut off after a charge cycle, disconnect and then reconnect the charger AC
plug. The ammeter should jump to 18-22 amps and taper to below 12 amps within 15 minutes. If it
tapers to below 12 amps within 15 minutes, the batteries are fully charged and the charger is function-
ing properly.
2. If the charger does not taper to below 12 amps within 15 minutes, the batteries may not be receiving a
full charge and the Electronic Timer Kit should be checked (See Test Procedure 2).
• DO NOT ALLOW THE SECONDARY COIL LEADS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER. THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY 61 VOLTS AC PRESENT.
• DO NOT ALLOW THE CAPACITOR COIL LEADS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER. THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY 650 VOLTS AC PRESENT.
• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD REPAIR OR SERVICE THIS CHARGER. ANYONE
DOING EVEN SIMPLE REPAIRS OR SERVICE SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
IN GENERAL ELECTRICAL REPAIR. FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AND HEED ALL
WARNINGS STATED IN THIS MANUAL.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION WHILE SERVICING
VEHICLE OR CHARGER. WEAR A FULL FACE SHIELD WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES.
• BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS TO THE CHARGER, ALWAYS UNPLUG THE ELECTRI-
CAL CORDS, FIRST FROM THE AC OUTLET AND THEN FROM THE VEHICLE RECEPTACLE.
• OLD BATTERIES NEAR THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIVES MAY NOT TAPER TO BELOW 12
AMPS (SEE BATTERIES, SECTION 22).
