Power failure options

To provide battery backup

Your EncoreCX can be equipped with an optional Battery Backup Unit (BBU). When equipped, full
operation of the EncoreCX is provided for at least one hour in the event of a power failure.

Battery Alarm

If your system is equipped with a Battery, a message "Battery" is displayed on extension 20 if the system is
running on the Battery. If you are not aware that the normal power has failed, check that the EncoreCX
System is correctly plugged in.

To make outgoing calls following a power failure

·
In the event of a power failure (with the system not equipped with a BBU), analog CO lines are
switched automatically to standard analog telephones and calls can be made and received on these lines
until the power is restored.
·
The system installer will indicate the location of these phones.
·
A minimum of half the equipped CO lines are connected to phones.
Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Indicators
A status LED on the BBU is provided.
·

fully charged.
·
ORANGE indicates the unit is running off the Battery.
·
RED indicates that the battery is discharged.
·
Flashing RED indicates the Battery is disconnected and the system is running from the main AC power
source.
