Page 13: Theory Of Operation
Theory of Operation Operating States The FMPS has two operating states, Normal Operation and Battery Backup. 2.1.1 Normal Operation The FMPS supplies power to the ONT, while being powered by the AC mains outlet. It may also be charging the batteries or performing a battery test. -
Page 14: Exception States
Exception States While in Normal Operation or Battery Backup, there are three exception states that may occur. 2.2.1 Replace Battery The FMPS enters the Replace Battery state when the charge control circuit determines the battery is not holding a charge, or is incapable of being charged. The Replace Battery alarm initiates when the battery capacity is less than 70% of the battery capacity stated by the battery manufacturer. -
Page 15: Transportation And Storage
Transportation and Storage 3.1.1 Packaging The enclosure and components are shipped on individual pallets and shrink wrapped. The pallet is approximately 0.15m H x 1.22m W x 1.52m D (6” H x 48” W x 60” D) and the overall height including pallet and enclosure is approximately 0.46m (18”). -
Page 16: Installation
Installation The information in this section is intended as a guideline only; there may be site-specific requirements and other factors that will require individual attention, such as jurisdictional codes and construction covenants. The FMPS can be installed by one technician during a single visit to the customer premises. The FMPS can be mounted on an internal or external customer premises wall, or it can be recessed into a newly framed wall during new construction. -
Page 17: Removing The Fmps Cover
Removing the FMPS Cover 1. Remove the Phillips screw securing the cover. 2. Grasp the cover by the sides and lift up slightly (see Figure 3). 3. Swing the bottom of the cover out and away from the unit (see Figure 4). Figure 3–Lifting the FMPS cover Figure 4–Sliding the FMPS cover out Wall-mounting the FMPS... -
Page 18: Recessed/Stud-Mounting The Fmps
Recessed/Stud-mounting the FMPS 1. Select a suitable location for mounting the FMPS. 2. After removing the cover, unscrew the battery retaining brackets. 3. Drill four 3/8” holes in the side of the enclosure using the pressed dimples in the side of the enclosure as a guide. -
Page 19: Safety Ground
Safety Ground The safety ground is a two-part system. The first part is a return path for stray current back to the input breaker, and the second is a return path from the enclosure to a second ground rod. Typically, the safety, or utility ground, provides a return path to the input breaker or fuse panel by means of a connection to an appropriate driven ground rod at the base of the power pole. -
Page 20: Ac Wiring, Permanent Connection
4.10 AC Wiring, Permanent Connection 1. Run the AC wiring through the 1/2" EMT along the same path as the original AC line cord. 2. Connect the AC wiring as follows: • Black wire = Line • White wire = Neutral 3. -
Page 21: Dc Output And Alarm Wiring
4.11 DC Output And Alarm Wiring Recommended wire size: • DC output: 2 x #16 AWG • Alarm wiring: 5 x #24 AWG • Ground: #16 AWG 1. If wall-mounting the FMPS, select a knockout to the right of the DC output block and remove it using a hammer and punch. -
Page 22: Battery Installation
Battery Installation WARNING! Follow battery manufacturer’s safety recommendations when working around battery systems and review the safety instructions provided in this manual. Batteries must be rated at the same capacity, and must be equal in age and quality. Preparation/Mounting The Enclosure must be mounted (Section 4) before installation of the bottom tray of batteries may be completed. Batteries should be located in a temperature-controlled environment. - Page 23 5. Slide the battery blocks onto the battery trays starting at the bottom (four per tray). NOTE: When only one string of batteries is installed, thermal performance will be better on the bottom tray. 6. Secure the battery bracket thumbscrews. See Figure 11. 7.
