SCD1230,checkthe‘ClockOFF’icon.TheDCloadmaybeturnedOFFautomaticallybythe
unitsetting.
zCheckconnectionpolarity.Reversepolarityonanyterminalswilldamageunitandisnot
coveredbywarranty.
zCheckthebatteryvoltage:
−ForSC1210LDandSC1220LDmodels,checkthatthe‘Loaddisconnect’LEDisON.Verify
batteryvoltageisabove12.6V.
−ForSCD1230,checkforanyerrorcodeonthedisplay.Verifybatteryvoltage.Checkifthe
