Battery Checks; Walk Test - Fire-Lite The Sensiscan 200 Installation, Operation, And Programming Manual

Battery Checks

Maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries 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 0.75 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 Notifier. Minimal
replacement battery capacity is indicated on the control panel marking label. To check battery and system, refer
to "Operational Checks" above.
Caution!
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, bracelets, rings, and coins should be avoided. Shorting the battery leads can
damage the battery, equipment, and could cause injury to personnel.

Walk Test

NOTE: Fire protection capabilities are removed during a Walk Test.
Execute a Walk Test from the control panel as follows:
1. Insert the PK-1 Programming Key into the CPU.
2. Enter the Walk Test password ("123-1233"). The PASSWORD ACCEPTED LED will light and the WALK TEST
LED will flash.
3. Activate an initiating device. All output circuits that are programmed as silenceable will activate for
approximately 4 seconds. If a device on the same initiating device circuit is activated more than once, the
outputs will activate for 1 second.
This alternate timing scheme allows the tester to determine if devices intended to be installed on a certain initiating
circuit are in fact on that circuit. Once an initiating circuit is activated, the circuits's red LED will flash. All red LEDs
on the initiating circuit modules will illuminate. The green LEDs on all Notification Appliance Circuits that are
silenceable will illuminate.
Testing Initiating Circuits for Trouble
Inducing a trouble into an initiating circuit will activate all output circuits that are programmed as silenceable. The
outputs will remain activated until the trouble is cleared. After a circuit is tested for trouble, the yellow LED for that
circuit will flash.
Testing Notification Appliance Circuits for Trouble
Inducing a trouble into a Notification Appliance Circuit will activate the particular circuit and pulse the circuit at one
second on/off rate until the trouble is cleared.
Existing Walk Test
To exit Walk Test, remove the PK-1 Programming Key.
