Test 2Test 1
The drawing shows that test #1 is carried out without a large voltage drop of the battery voltage, whereas test
#2 reaches the alarm setpoint.
As there is no reason to wear the battery down even more, the test stops when the battery test alarm occurs.
The test is typically used at periodical intervals, e.g. once every week. The engine must be at a standstill
when the test is started. Otherwise, the test command will be ignored.
The stop relay will act depending on the coil type:
Stop coil: The stop relay activates during the test.
Run coil: The stop relay stays deactivated during the test.
The drawing below shows that when the test is started, the start relay activates making the engine turn.
