indicates the batteries are very low, three LEDs indicate that the batteries are partly discharged and four LEDs indicate that the batteries are healthy.
Using the factory default settings, when a call is generated by pulling the cord or by activating any optional call accessory such as panic strip, audible and
visual warning is given at both the WC area and at the AIDALARM control panel. The call can be silenced at the control panel by pressing the control panel
button which is located at the centre of the LED diamond. This will cause the panel to bleep every 40 seconds as a warning of non attendance by the
responders. The audible indicators at the WC will bleep every five seconds to re-assure the caller. Should the cord be pulled again while in the Silence
state, the system will call again. The system is reset at (or near) the point of call using the Reset button S1708A.

Technical Features
Battery Monitoring
The AIDALARM control panel when powered by mains should be fitted with 6 x AA alkaline batteries to provide backup in the event of a mains failure. The
control panel monitors the health of these batteries. When the batteries reach the end of their life, the control panel will beep and momentarily flash the
green power LED every 3 minutes. This prompts the system operator to have the batteries replaced. Good quality alkaline batteries should be used. It is
recommended that these batteries are replaced every 12 months during a regular maintenance inspection. The battery monitoring function should be
disabled when powering the system from a 12vdc power supply (See programming section). It can also be disabled if you do not wish to install batteries in
the system when powering from the mains, however this is not recommended.
Mains Failure
Should the mains supply to the control panel fail for any reason, as long as backup batteries are fitted the system will indicate the mains failure by beeping
every 90 seconds. The green power LED will also extinguish and flash momentarily every 90 seconds. In addition the alarm relay will also change state.
Alarm Relay
A single pole change over volt free relay is provided in the control panel. This relay is energised while the system is in its idle state, when a call is made the
relay de-energises, the relay energises again once the call has been reset. The relay also de-energises if the mains fails. Should a call be raised during a
mains failure, the relay will not change state.
