Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
FACP Supervision: To insure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup. Please follow the
appropriate procedure below:
Normally Open Input: Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the Fire Alarm
Disconnect. Remove the short to reset.
Normally Closed Input: Remove the wire from terminal marked [INP -- ] will trigger the Fire Alarm
Disconnect. Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP -- ] to reset.
FACP Signal Circuit Input: It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System.
In all of the above scenarios the green TRG LED of the ACM8s will illuminate. All outputs selected for Fire Alarm
Disconnect will activate releasing locking devices.
Note: All outputs [OUT 1 - OUT 8] must be in a normal (de-energized) condition prior to testing. When the unit is
configured for Normally Open (Fig. 13, pg. 17) or Normally Closed (Fig. 15, pg. 17) latching operation it is
necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the Normally Closed reset switch.
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level
(Power Supply Board Stand-by Battery Specifications, pg. 8).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified voltage at
the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked [+ BAT – ] to insure that there is no break in the battery
connection wires.
Note: AL400ULXB, AL600ULXB and AL1012ULXB Power Supply Board maximum charge current is 0.7 amp.
AL1024ULXB
Power Supply Board maximum charge current is 3.6 amp.
Expected battery life is 5 years, however it is recommended to change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.
