www.acornfiresecurity.com Signal Surveyor Battery Replacement The Signal Surveyor’s mains charger can be left connected if necessary, during the survey process. The rated charging voltage is between 100 – 230Vac +/- 10%; 0.3A at 45-65Hz. Should the internal battery require replacement, correct polarity must be observed as marked on the battery (Y4-6 6V, 4Ah C20) red wire = positive, black wire = negative.
LED signal indication is also shown on the device, a Green LED indicates a Pass and the Yellow LED indicates a Fail. Whether undertaking a Ziton RLM or Ziton Hub/RCC survey, a level of 24dB or above is required as a pass result.
