Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
FACP Supervision:
Normally Open Input:
Normally Closed Input:
FACP Signal Circuit Input:
Note: All outputs [OUT 1] - [OUT 8] must be in a normal (de-energized) condition prior to testing. When the
unit is configured for Normally Open (Fig. 8, pg. 12) or Normally Closed (Fig. 10, pg. 12) latching operation,
it is necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the Normally Closed reset switch.
Output Voltage Test:
Battery Test:
Note: Maximum charge current is 1.54A. Expected battery life is 5 years; however, it is recommended to
change batteries within 4 years or less if necessary.

Maintenance:

To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup.
Please follow the appropriate procedure below:
Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the
Fire Alarm Disconnect. Remove the short to reset.
Removing the wire from terminal marked [INP –] will trigger the Fire Alarm
Disconnect. Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP –] to reset.
It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System.In all of the above scenarios
the green TRG LED of the ACM8CBs will illuminate. All outputs selected for
Fire Alarm Disconnect will activate releasing locking devices.
Under normal load conditions, the DC output voltage should be checked for
proper voltage level (refer to MaximalFDV series Configuration Chart, pg. 3).
Under normal load conditions check that the battery is fully charged, check
specified voltage at the battery terminals and at the board terminals marked
[+ BAT –] to ensure that there is no break in the battery connection wires.
