Ametek Battery Charger 880H3-18E

WARNING: Follow the Silicon Diode Testing section before proceeding

Disconnect capacitor and connect leads of ohmmeter (set to highest scale) to capacitor terminals

If capacitor is good, pointer will deflect, indicating capacitor is being charged, followed by a deflection in the opposite direction indicating partial discharge

If there is no deflection, capacitor is “open” and must be replaced. Also, if meter needle moves and stops at one value, replace capacitor

Replacement capacitors must be ordered from factory. When ordering, supply serial number of charger and microfarad (MFD) or (μF) value printed on capacitor

Sign off on the capacitor testing

Diode disconnected from electrical circuitry

Resistance value with ohmmeter lead on threaded end of diode and other ohmmeter lead on diode lead

Resistance value with reversed ohmmeter leads on diode

One resistance reading is infinitely (or very) high and the other is extremely low

Warning: Ensure the charger is unplugged before cleaning

Is the charger clean, dry, and well ventilated?

Enter the air pressure used for cleaning (in psi)

Select the cleaning method used
