CHAPTER2 Environment Make sure the environment is a clean, cool, dry place with normal ventilation. Storage Temperature Store the batteries (in the system or battery cabinet) at -18 to 40°C (0 to 104°F). Batteries have a longer shelf life if they are stored below 25°C (77°F). Keep stored batteries fully charged. Recharge the batteries every 90–120 days. The system or battery cabinet without batteries may be stored at -20 to 70°C (-4 to 158°F).
CHAPTER3 Startup and Shutdown Procedure Refer to the Installation Manual to secure the unit and install AC and DC wiring. STARTUP PROCEDURE For the initial startup of the system, follow the instructions in the Startup and Warranty Validation Form. Failure to do so will void warranty. CAUTION: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES – ONLY QUALFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM PROCEDURE. 1. Verify that the installation switch located below the front panel is in the OFF position. Verify that AC input is disconnected. 2.
CHAPTER4 OPERATION The following is a description of the status LED's located on the front panel and the internal fan. AC Present When the AC Mains is present, the LED will illuminate. If a power failure was long in duration, or the AC mains was disconnected by some other means (Circuit breaker open) the AC Present LED would not be illuminated.
CHAPTER5 Front Panel Display The Front panel consists of a 2 x 20 alpha numeric LCD display with LED Back lighting, 5 Status LED indicators and a 4 x 4 keypad for user interface. Figure 5.
