Procedure 9 - Starting up the rectifier ( continued ) 
Step Action 
Adjusting the float voltage 
14 
Ensure that the EQL / FLT switch is on the FLT position. 
15 
To adjust the float voltage to the proper level, turn the FLT 
potentiometer clockwise to increase the voltage or counterclockwise 
to decrease it. 
Adjusting the equalize voltage ( EQL ) 
16 
Set the EQL / FLT switch to EQL. Turn the EQL potentiometer 
clockwise to increase the voltage or counterclockwise to decrease it. 
17 
Put the FLOAT / EQL switch in the FLOAT position. 
Adjusting the slope share 
18 
Select the slope share mode by setting the two bottom DIP switches 
to SLS ( see Figure 10 ). Verify that the rectifier displays the required 
float value. If required, adjust it with the FLT potentiometer. 
19 
Connect the sense leads by inserting the RC fuse in the controller or 
by reconnecting the control cable. 
20 
Put the dc breaker located on the front of the rectifier to ON. 
21 
The rectifier is now connected to the system and should carry some 
current. If it is connected in parallel with other rectifiers, verify that 
the total system current is shared equally amongst the rectifiers. Put 
the switch on each rectifier to AMP. Find the mean current of the 
rectifiers by adding all the currents measured on each rectifier and 
dividing the total current by the number of rectifiers

Set the current from each rectifier to this mean value. If the current 
reading of one of the rectifiers is too low, or is 0, slowly increase the 
current by turning the FLT potentiometer clockwise until proper 
sharing is achieved. If the current reading is too high or if rectifier is 
in the current limit mode, turn the FLT potentiometer 
counterclockwise. 
Note : Adjust all the rectifiers in sequence to the mean value of the 
currents, and readjust more precisely if necessary. 
Verifying the current limit 
22 
Turn OFF some of the other rectifiers to force the rectifier under test 
to pick up a load current of at least 210 A. When the rectifier reaches 
about 205 A, the yellow CL LED should light up.
