Installation Instructions

2
The AQS series are UL Listed and have additional supervisory features:
• Battery disconnect relay when battery(s) are depleted
• Set of Form “C” relay contacts that indicate AC power failure
• Set of Form “C” relay contacts that indicate low battery(s)
• Green LED for local “AC” on indication.
• DC Output is Class II power limited when used with distribution boards.
Note: If no distribution boards are used, Class 1 wiring is required on all outputs. If there is power limited and non-power limited wire there
shall be a min of ¼ inch spacing between the power limited and non-power limited wire.
Depending on load, low battery trouble indicates 50–75% battery capacity remaining. Input wiring to the unit should be enclosed in conduit
secured firmly to the enclosure. The AQS cannot be used to power a mercantile bell.
