Battery test and charging proceduresTest procedure for installed batteryView battery information and test battery operation asfollows:1. Scroll down the front panel HMI to the BATTERY menuitem and press the ENTER button. Code 081 BatteryVoltage and Current will be displayed:VBat = XX.XX VoltsIBat = -X.XX Amps2. Press the down arrow button to scroll to the TestBattery command. Press the ENTER button.The following message will appear: 082 Test Battery(CONFIRM).otee:N The battery cannot be tested when the control ispowered from the battery only (no AC power). If abattery test is attempted with battery power only,the test results will display as ATTENTION – 4(Battery Test Blocked).3. Press the ENTER key. The (TESTING...) message willappear. The test duration is approximately five seconds.●● If the battery is OK, the (PASS) message will appear.●● ●If the battery is not OK, one of these messages willappear:“ATTENTION – 1” indicates Battery Test Trouble*“ATTENTION – 2” indicates Battery Test Failed“ATTENTION – 3” indicates Battery TestCurrently Running“ATTENTION – 4” indicates Battery Test Blocked**4. The battery test results can be viewed by pressing thedown arrow. The following information will be displayed:VBat = XX.XX VoltsIBat = -X.XX AmpsAlarm conditione:●● During a battery test a 5Ω, 55 watt resistor is placedacross the battery terminals for approximately 5 seconds.The Form 4D control measures the battery voltage, ifthe voltage drops below 22.8 VDC the BATTERY LEDilluminates (Figure 43) and a battery alarm is issued, ifconfigured, at the end of the test.DATA PORTSENTEREDITESCPHASE FAULTA B CGROUNDFAULTABOVE MIN TRIPLOCKOUTOPENCLOSEDVOLTAGE TRIPFREQUENCY TRIPSENSITIVE GNDA B CX Y ZPHASE VOLTAGEALARMBATTERYAC POWERCONTROL OKALTPROFILE 1GND TRIPBLOCKEDNONRECLOSESUPER-VISORYOFFHOT LINETAGTRIPOFF(LOCKOUT)CLOSEFigure 43. Battery alarm LED.Test procedure for uninstalled batteryThe entire process should be conducted in a cleanenvironment, such as a repair shop.Refer to Table 16 and follow this procedure to perform abench test on a control battery in a service shop:1. Remove the control from service. Refer to Remove theControl from Service procedure within the Testingsection of this manual.2. Remove the battery from the control and carefullytransport it to a suitable service facility.3. Measure battery voltage.4. Apply test load and measure battery voltage after5 seconds of load to determine voltage drop. Refer toTable 16 for Bench Test Load Condition.5. Remove test load.If the battery fails the test or is at least four years old, itshould be replaced. Refer to Table 16 for battery catalog partnumbers.Table 16.
