PTI security systems Falcon XT Installation Manual page 37

Reliable operation depends upon noise-free, uninterrupted sources of power. In the
event of a power loss or emergency failure the Falcon battery backup's primary function
is to preserve the integrity of the memory database and system operation.
This function does not guarantee the operation of a gate motor or door actuator for
emergency situations.
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to provide for and facilitate manual non-
electrical emergency means of exit in the event of a power failure. Contact your local
dealer/installer for options and availability.
