for each telephone circuit in the system.
8) Remove AC power, activate an Initiating Device Circuit via an alarm initiating device and check that active
Notification Appliances sound, and alarm indicators illuminate. Measure the battery voltage while Notification
Appliances are activated. Replace any battery with a terminal voltage less than 21.6 volts. Reapply AC
Power. Note: This test requires fully charged batteries, if batteries are new or discharged due to a recent
power outage, allow the batteries to charge for 48 hours before testing.
9) Enable any Notification Appliance Circuit(s) that were disabled in Step 4C. Disabled circuits are enabled by

7.4 Battery Checks and Maintenance
The maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries used in the system do not require the addition of water or
electrolyte. They are charged and are maintained in a fully charged state by the main power supply's float charger
during normal system operation. A discharged battery will charge at 1.5 amps (typically) and obtain its float
voltage of 27.6 volts within 48 hours.
Replace any battery that is leaking or damaged. Replacement batteries may be obtained from the manufacturer.
Minimal replacement battery capacity is indicated on the control panel's marking label. To check battery and
system, Refer to Section 7.3.
DANGER
72
Batteries contain Sulfuric Acid which can cause severe burns to the skin and
eyes and damage to fabrics. In the event a battery leaks and contact is made
with the Sulfuric Acid, immediately flush skin and/or eyes with water for at least
15 minutes. For eyes, seek immediate medical attention. A good neutralizing
solution for Sulfuric Acid is water and household baking soda. Care should be
taken to insure proper handling of the battery to prevent short-circuiting.
Accidental shorting of the leads from uninsulated work benches, tools, brace-
lets, rings, and coins should be avoided. Shorting the battery leads can
damage the battery, equipment, and could cause injury to personnel.
