Mains failure and battery

Mains failure

The Octalarm has a built-in, maintenance free, emergency battery. This keeps the Octalarm in
operation for a considerable time when the mains power fails.

Mains failure report

Mains supply failure can be reported by the Octalarm by telephone and/or with an audio
signal.

Battery empty warning

If the battery becomes almost empty during a mains failure this will be reported by telephone
and/or with an audio signal.

Automatic battery check

The battery will normally be fully charged due to it being trickle charged during normal
operation.
The battery's condition is automatically tested every two weeks. If testing reveals that the
battery no longer has sufficient capacity (less than 30% of its original capacity) the red,
'battery empty' lamp will light and the message 'battery malfunction' will be shown on the
display.
The internal buzzer will be activated and a telephone report will also be made via the "battery
empty" channel.
The Octalarm always remains operational during the battery test.
