5. Connect appropriate signaling notification devices to
AC Fail and Low Bat supervisory relay outputs.
Note: To meet UL requirements, AC Supervisory outputs must be connected to the zone of Alarm Control Panel or to
visual AC trouble indicator.
6. For Access Control Device connections refer to Terminal Identification Chart.
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
Output Voltage Test: Under normal load conditions,
the DC output voltage should be checked for proper voltage level (Power Supply Output Specifications Chart).
Battery Test: Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check specified
voltage both at battery terminal and at the board terminals marked [- BAT +] to insure there is no break in the battery
connection wires.
Note: Maximum charging current under discharge is 400mA.
Note: Expected battery life is 5 years, however it is recommended changing batteries in 4 years or less if needed.
