  • Page 102: Appendix J: Battery Open Alarm

    APPENDIX J BATTERY OPEN ALARM BACKGROUND The AT30 can be configured to periodically test for an "open battery". This feature allows the AT30 to periodically check whether the battery is capable of delivering sufficient output current to satisfy required dc loads for 3 minutes. If the battery is extremely low on capacity, or there is an open string, the Main Control PC Board (A1) will indicate an alarm, alerting the user to capacity test the battery.
  • Page 103 APPENDIX J The Battery Open alarm will activate if the dc bus falls below LV Alarm point any time during the 3-minute test. The test is immediately terminated when there is an open battery failure. On a failure, error code E 15 is indicated on the front panel display, and the Summary Alarm relay (TB3) transfers after the nominal 30-second delay.
