OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The I-160-AC-L is in the standby charging mode. The Charge Indicator will be lit providing a
visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The I-160-AC-L senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the Emergen-
cy Mode. One or two lamps are illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored, the
I-160-AC-L switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1 of the Instruction manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour charge before
conducting a one hour test.
The
I-160-AC-L is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, out-
lines the following schedule:
Monthly – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the Test Switch.
One lamp or two lamps should operate at full or reduced output, depending on your configuration.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a full 1
