5.14 Step 10. System Power Up and Power Down Procedures
5.14.1 System Power Up Procedure
Important:
• Never connect or disconnect power on a 4100ES by removing the connector from the PDM. This could cause an improper order of
power disconnection which may shorten the product life.
• If this procedure is not followed, you may cause damage to the system and/or create a shock hazard.
Power-Up Procedure:
1. Connect only the negative (black) lead of the power supply/charger to the battery.
2. Close and lock the front panel door.
3. Have the appropriate personnel apply AC power to the system from the dedicated circuit breaker or fused disconnect.
4. Ensure the panel has started properly, observing all safety procedures appropriate for a system with AC power applied.
5. Open the panel door and acknowledge all abnormal conditions including the battery disconnected trouble condition.
6. Connect the positive (red) lead of the power supply/charger to the battery.
7. Ensure the battery trouble has cleared.
8. Install the panel cover plate (when present), close and lock the door.
5.14.2

System Power Down Procedure

WARNING:
• Use caution when handling batteries - they can store significant energy and present a shock hazard. When transporting used
batteries, be certain the terminals are removed and/or insulated so they cannot make contact with conductive objects and create a
safety hazard.
• Use caution when AC power is present. The panel must have power removed while you are performing service on the system.
Power-Down Procedure:
1. Unlock and open the panel door and remove the cover plate (when present), observing appropriate safety procedures and
warnings when the system has AC power present
2. Disconnect only the positive (red) lead of the power supply/charger from the battery
3. Have appropriate personnel remove AC power from the system from the dedicated circuit breaker or fused disconnect
4. Mark or tag the circuit breaker or fused disconnect indicating it is off for service
