WARNING
Sulfuric acid in batteries can cause severe injury or
death. Sulfuric acid in battery can cause permanent
damage to eyes, burn skin, and eat holes in clothing.
Always wear splash-proof safety goggles whenworking
around the battery. If battery electrolyte is splashed in
the eyes or on skin, immediately flush the affected area
for 15minutes withlargequantitiesofcleanwater. Seek
immediatemedicalaidinthecaseof eyecontact. Never
addacidto a batteryoncethebattery hasbeenplacedin

electrolyte.
NOTE
When taking a voltage or resistance measurement
at a ribbon cable pin, do not disconnect the ribbon
cable from the board. Use a needle point probe to
take the readings from the holes on the top side of
the ribbon cable connector.
a. Check the voltage at P2-13. Using a voltmeter,
connect the positivetest leadto P2-13. Connect
the negative test lead to TB-DC1-34. See
Appendix B, Figure B-6 for location and
description of P2 ribbon cable pins. Carefully
remove the power source by disconnecting the
in-linedisconnect plug. Leavethe power source
disconnected for six seconds. After six seconds
note the voltmeter reading.
b. If the voltage is less than six volts, replace the
power supply board.
c. Ifthevoltageisgreaterthansixvolts, replacethe
logic board assembly.

Manual Transfer Message
The MANUAL TRANSFER message will appear on the
LCD when a transfer to the emergency source or to the
normal source is desired but the logic board is in the
manual mode. When this message appears press the
appropriatepushbutton:ManualTransfer-to-Emergency
or Manual Transfer-to-Normal. If automatic transfer is
desired instead of manual transfer, place the
automatic/manual transfer switch in the automatic
position.
Manual-to-Off Transfer Message
