Battery Supervision

The VISTA-32FB runs a brief battery test once a minute to determine if battery leads are
connected, and runs an extended battery test every 24 hours to determine if battery capacity
is low (less than approximately 11.5VDC). If a low battery condition exists, it will be
displayed at the control's keypad(s). The indication will stop when the low battery condition
has been restored to normal (for several minutes). Refer to Section 30: Testing The System
for additional battery test information.Powering Up the System
