Electrical System Quick Checks
Battery Test (Open Circuit Test)
Use a multimeter to measure the battery voltage.

Set the multimeter to the DC volts  setting. The battery
should be at a temperature of 60o to 100o F (16o to 38o
C). The ignition key should be in the OFF position and
all accessories turned off. Connect the positive (+) multi-
meter lead to the positive battery post and the negative

the battery voltage.
NOTE:  This test provides a relative condition of the bat-
tery. Load testing  of the battery will  provide additional
and more accurate information.
Charging System Test
This is a simple test used to determine if a charging sys-
tem is functioning. It will tell you if the charging system
has an output, but not its capacity.
NOTE:  Depending upon  the condition  of  the battery
charge and  battery temperature, the charging  system
voltage will  increase  at different  rates as  the battery
charges.
Tool required: Digital multimeter set to DC volts.
Start the engine and run at high idle (3200 RPM). Allow
the battery to charge for at least 3 minutes. Record the
battery voltage.
Test instructions:  Connect the  positive (+)  multimeter
lead to  the positive battery  post and  the negative (−)
multimeter lead to the negative  battery post. Keep the
test leads connected to the battery posts and record the
battery voltage.
Test results should be (example):
At least 0.50 volt over initial battery voltage.
NOTE:  Upon starting  the engine, the  battery voltage
will drop and  then should increase once the  engine is
running.

Glow Plug System Test (Groundsmaster 3280−D)
This is a fast, simple test that can help to determine the
integrity and operation  of the Groundsmaster 3280−D
glow plug system. The test should be run anytime hard
starting (cold engine) is encountered on a diesel engine
equipped with a glow plug system.
Set the multimeter to the correct scale. With the ignition
switch in the  OFF position, place the  ammeter pickup
around the main glow plug power supply wire and read
the meter prior to activating the glow plug system. Adjust
the meter  to read zero  (if applicable). Cycle  the glow
plug system at least two times (per instructions in Trac-
tion Unit Operator’s Manual) and record the final results.
Tool(s) required: Digital multimeter and/or inductive
Ammeter (AC/DC Current Transducer).
The Groundsmaster 3280−D glow plug system should
have a reading of approximately 27 Amps. If low current
reading is observed, one (or more) glow plugs is faulty.
Test instructions: Properly connect the ammeter to the
digital multimeter (refer to manufacturers’ instructions).
