Compliance Notes:
Note 1: For UL294 Compliance when using 8 output PDB boards with fire trigger: Fire Alarm disconnect wire length must be less than
98.5 ft (30m)
Note 2: For ULC-S318 compliance, the power supply battery fail line must be connected to and monitored by a control panel trouble
zone
Note 3: AQS Series uses a standard power supply enclosure, not an attack proof enclosure. As such, they should not be used to power a
mercantile bell
Note 4: When using a battery that is not housed inside the power supply enclosure, the battery leads require protection from the
enclosure via the use of conduit. For UL compliance the enclosure used must be listed to the categories Listed above and shall have
sufficient space to house the standby batteries.
Note 5: When using AQS#B modules in another enclosure, minimum standard spacing between live electrical circuits shall be taken into
account.
Note 6: Power supplies shall be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, Canadian Electrical Code, or any
other applicable codes
Maintenance
The power supply and standby batteries should be tested at least once a year as follows:
1. CHECK LEDs for normal state: AC ON Green, Trouble Normal ON Green (Amber indicated trouble), DC ON Red.
2. CHECK output voltage with normal load (assures proper voltage to float charge batteries): For 12V units, voltage should read
between 13.6 VDC and 13.8 VDC; and for 24V units, voltage should read between 27.1 VDC and 27.6 VDC.
3. DISCONNECT AC input: AC LED should be off, and all other LED’s should remain normal.
4. CHECK DC output to be above 12.0 VDC for 12V units and 24.0 VDC for 24V units (checks standby batteries to be operational).
5. APPLY AC and VERIFY AC LED ON.
