FUSE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (for FireNET 2127/4127 control panel only):
Before proceeding further, notify the appropriate parties and/or authorities when servicing or placing the fire alarm
system off‐line. To replace the in‐line battery fuse, twist the bayonet fuse holder on the negative battery lead. Remove the
blown fuse and replace with a "Bussman AGC‐10" type fuse or equivalent. To replace the power supply fuse F2, power
down the fire system by removing the AC power first, then disconnect the backup batteries to the fire alarm control panel.
Remove the blown fuse and replace with a 3A 250VAC, slow blow, 5X20mm fuse. When the fuse replacement is completed,
restore AC power to the control panel and connect the backup batteries observing polarity of connections.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE/REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (for FireNET 2127/4127 control panel only):
Inspect batteries annually. Replace batteries every 3 to 5 years. Verify that batteries show no signs of leaking or swelling.
Remove the positive (RED) battery lead from the battery. Measure the voltage of each battery to determine that the
batteries are charged and meet the battery manufacturer's specification requirements. Replace the positive (RED) battery
lead when finished. If batteries measure below the battery manufacturer's recommended specifications, replace batteries
by removing positive (RED) lead, negative (BLACK) lead, and jumper lead between batteries. Replace batteries and connect
in reverse order, connecting the jumper (+ of battery to – of second battery), negative (BLK) lead to one battery, and positive
(RED) lead to the other battery.
