INSTALLING THE AT10.1 1.10. WIRING TO THE REMOTE ALARM CONTACTS Built-in Summary (Common) Alarm Relay (standard) The AT10.1 Main Control PC Board (A1) is equipped with a "common" Summary Alarm relay. This relay contact transfers when any one or more of the standard AT10.1 alarms exist. See Section 2.2.7 for a description of the alarm functions. One form-C alarm contacts are provided, and accessible via terminal block (TB3), as show in the figure on the right.
INSTALLING THE AT10.
INSTALLING THE AT10.1 1.11. INSTALLING THE TEMPCO PROBE ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL) The temperature compensation probe contains a temperature-dependent resistor in an epoxy module that you install near your battery. There are three steps in installing the assembly: 1. Mounting the probe assembly near the battery. 2. Installing an interconnection cable from the probe assembly to the AT10.1. 3. Wiring the charger end of the cable to a terminal block on the main control circuit board.
INSTALLING THE AT10.1 • • Run the cable though a conduit if possible, but not through a conduit containing any power wiring. Route the other end to the probe at the battery and coil up excess cable. NOTE: If the standard (25ft / 7.6m) cable is not long enough, longer cable assemblies are available in lengths of 50, 100 & 200ft / 15.2, 30.5 & 61.0m. See Appendix B on page 71 for ordering information. • Be sure your wiring conforms to the NEC and your facility requirements. 5.
INSTALLING THE AT10.1 7. Check your work. Be sure that: • All connections are secure. • The shield is connected to ground at the charger end only (on the main circuit board). • The cable is connected to TB8 on the circuit board. Other terminal blocks may look similar. 8. Restart the AT10.1 using the startup procedure in Section 2.1. During startup, the AT10.1 displays LEAD on the front panel, indicating that the temperature compensation is set up for lead-acid batteries.
INSTALLING THE AT10.1 Note the following: • • • • • You should set the Float and Equalize voltages to the values recommended by your battery manufacturer for 77° F (25° C). When you enter the Edit mode to adjust the Float or Equalize voltage (see Section 2.3.2), the front panel meter shows the 77° F (25° C) value for the Float or Equalize voltage, even if the battery is warmer or cooler than 77° F (25° C). The actual output voltage of the AT10.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2. OPERATING THE AT10.1 BATTERY CHARGER 2.1. STARTING THE AT10.1 2.1.1. Understanding the startup sequence The AT10.1 is set up at the factory to work with most common batteries and loads without further adjustment. When you start the AT10.1 for the first time, the factory settings (float voltage, equalize voltage, etc.) control the operation of the charger. You can change the settings after you start the charger. The FACTORY SETTINGS are shown in table on page 25. The AT10.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 • • • If you have an optional temperature compensation probe installed, the front panel displays LEAD during startup, indicating that the temperature compensation is set up for lead-acid batteries. While this is being displayed, you can press any front panel key to change the display to read NICD, to change the temperature compensation setup for nickel cadmium batteries. The choice you make is saved internally, and will be used again by the AT10.1 then next time it starts.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.2. USING THE AT10.1 FRONT PANEL FEATURES 2.2.1. If the meter displays an error or status message The AT10.1 microprocessor control circuit performs diagnostic checks of the battery charger during system start-up, then continuously during operation. If it detects a failure or special status, an intermittent code will appear on the front instrument panel, displayed between dc output values. The following table is a list of these error (E ##) and status (A ##) codes.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.2.3. Selecting the Float or Equalize mode The AT10.1 has two output voltage settings, Float and Equalize. Use the Float mode for all normal battery charging and to operate your dc system. Use the Equalize mode if it is necessary to balance the level of charge among the cells of the battery. Consult your battery data sheets for information on equalize-charging your battery. • Press the CHRG MODE key to change to the equalize mode.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Manual Equalize Method Choose the manual equalize method when you want to equalize charge the battery, but only when you are able to monitor the battery voltage and gassing rate. After you select the manual equalize method, press the CHRG MODE key to put the charger into the equalize mode. The EQLZ indicator will light. Press the CHRG MODE key again to return the charger to the float mode. The FLOAT indicator will light. NOTE: Never leave the AT10.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.2.5. Testing the front panel indicators • Press the DOWN key. This is also the LAMP TEST key. The meter will display 8888, and all status & alarm indicators will light. The LAMP TEST key does not test the AC ON indicator. The AC ON indicator lights whenever ac power is present and the ac circuit breaker is turned on. The LAMP TEST key does not operate when ac power is off. To test the action of the AT10.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3. SETTING PARAMETERS IN THE AT10.1 2.3.1. Understanding Parameter Settings You can change the settings of the AT10.1 while the charger is operating, using the front panel controls. The changes you make take effect immediately, and are saved internally. If the charger is taken out of service, and then later returned to service, it restarts using the last values you set.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.2. Setting the Float and Equalize voltages • Press the EDIT/ENTER key. The FLOAT and DC VOLTS indicators light, and the display flashes the present value of the float voltage. Press and release the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value in the display by one count, or press and hold the UP or DOWN key to scroll the value in the display upward or downward. When the display shows the float voltage you want to set, release the UP or DOWN key.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.3. Setting the Equalize Timer • Press the EDIT/ENTER key until the EQLZ HRS REMAINING, MANUAL TIMER and AUTO EQLZ TIMER indicators light, and the display flashes the present value of the equalize timer duration in hours. Press and release the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value in the display by one count, or press and hold the UP or DOWN key to scroll the value in the display upward or downward.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Setting the High DC Voltage Alarm • Press the EDIT/ENTER key until the HIGH DC VOLTAGE indicator flashes, and the display flashes the present value of the high dc voltage alarm. Press and release the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value in the display by one count, or press and hold the UP or DOWN key to scroll the value in the display upward or downward. When the display shows the high dc voltage alarm point that you want to set, release the UP or DOWN key.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Adjusting Ground Detection Sensitivity You can adjust the sensitivity of the ground detection alarm circuit. You must have a test resistor whose value is the sensitivity you want. You can adjust the sensitivity from 5 to 50 kΩ. The potentiometer for adjusting ground detection circuit sensitivity is located on the main control circuit board. It is the lower of the two potentiometers labeled RA3 SENS, as shown in the figure at the right.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 Using Ground Detection in Charger Standby Mode If you put the AT10.1 into standby mode by opening the dc circuit breaker (CB2), the ground detection circuit will send an erroneous negative ground alarm. There are two ways to work around this: • • Disable the ground detection circuit while the charger is in standby, as described below. Put the charger into standby by opening the ac input circuit breaker (CB1), and leaving the dc circuit breaker closed.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.6. Enabling the High DC Voltage shutdown feature The AT10.1 has a built-in high dc voltage shutdown feature. In case of any maladjustment or internal failure that results in a continuous output voltage that is too high, the AT10.1 shuts down after 30 seconds to protect the battery. The digital display reads E 03, and the summary alarm relay contact transfers. The AT10.1 is shipped with the high dc voltage shutdown feature disabled.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.7. Adjusting the Voltmeter Accuracy The AT10.1 voltmeter is adjusted at the factory to display the actual output voltage within ±0.25%. If you replace any component that affects meter accuracy, such as the main control circuit board or R4, you should readjust the meter. This adjustment procedure is different from all others, because the meter reading remains constant, while the output voltage of the charger changes.
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.
OPERATING THE AT10.1 2.3.9. Using the front panel security feature The AT10.1 charger is shipped with all the front instrument panel keys enabled. You can disable the following front panel functions: • Selecting Equalize method • Changing settings using the EDIT/ENTER key • Toggling the high dc voltage shutdown feature To disable the front instrument panel keys, open the AT10.1 door and locate the small plastic jumper J9 on the right side of the main control circuit board. See the figure below.
