    10. If a Motion Detector is connected, pass in front of it to verify the door unlocks. 11. If the RAC5 XT is connected to a Fire Panel and the electromagnetic lock powered by the 12 VDC output of the RAC5 XT, verify that the electromagnetic lock or a fail-safe electric strike is deactivated when the Fire Alarm is active (open input).
  • Page 19: Battery Back-Up Replacement

    NOTE: For preventative maintenance, the battery back-up should be replaced every 2 to 3 years and tested every 6 months by removing the main AC power. Turn off the main AC power to the RAC5 XT or disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet. 2. Disconnect the red and black wires from the battery.
