ASC PROBLEM CHART

:

-

Refer to this chart and the ASC PROBLEM

DESCRIPTIONS (next page), to help diagnose potential problems based on the
observations of the ASC and actual battery voltage. Use an accurate volt-meter
and measure the voltage directly at the battery terminals.

* Voltages above are for 12 volt systems. For 6 volt systems, use half the listed voltage. For 24 volt

systems, multiply by 2. For 36 volts, multiply by 3. For 48 volts, multiply by 4.
