4.2.2
Installing the Battery
Place the battery upright in the base of the enclosure. Locate the red and black leads supplied in the literature
pack. Push one connector on the black battery lead to panel's 'Batt-' connector, and then push the lead's other
connector to the negative (-) side of the battery. Push one connector on the red battery lead to panel's 'Batt+'
connector, and then push the lead's other connector to the positive (+) side of the battery.
High Current Arcs Possible: The positive (red) battery lead and the panel's 'Batt+' connector can create
high current arcs if shorted to terminals or the enclosure. Use caution when working with the positive
lead and the panel's 'Batt +' . Always disconnect the positive (red) lead from the battery before removing
WARNING
it from the panel.
4.2.3
Replacement
Radionics recommends battery replacement every 3 to 5 years under normal use. Exceeding the maximum
output ratings, or installing the transformer in an outlet that is routinely switched off, causes heavy discharges.
Routine heavy discharges can lead to premature battery failure. Record the date of installation directly on the
battery.
4.2.4
Battery Supervision
When the battery drops to 12.1 VDC, the panel, if programmed for power supervision, transmits a BATTERY
LOW report.
If the battery is missing or shorted and the panel is programmed for power supervision, it transmits a BATTERY
MISSING report.
When battery voltage returns to 13.0 VDC, the panel, if programmed for power supervision, transmits a
BATTERY RESTORAL report.
Investigate low battery reports immediately: If primary (AC) power is off and the discharge continues, the
panel becomes inoperative when the battery voltage drops below 10.2 VDC.
4.2.5
Battery Charging Circuit
Float Charge
The float voltage for the battery charging circuit is 13.5 to 13.9 VDC at a maximum current of 1.4 Amps.
4.2.6
Battery Discharge/Recharge Schedule
Discharge Cycle
AC Off: Command centers indicate trouble. AC Fail report sent as programmed.
13.8 VDC: Charging Float Level
12.1 VDC: Low Battery trouble at command centers. Low Battery report as programmed.
10.2 VDC: Panel shuts down as voltage falls below 10.2 VDC
Recharge Cycle
AC On: Panel restarts, battery charging begins, AC restoral report sent as programmed, AC trouble clears from
command centers.
13.0 VDC: Battery restoral reports sent, battery trouble clears from command centers.
13.8 VDC: Battery float charged.
