eFlowNA8D Series Installation Guide
Maintenance:
Unit should be tested at least once a year for the proper operation as follows:
FACP Supervision:
To ensure proper connection and operation of the Fire Alarm disconnect hookup please
follow the appropriate procedure below:
Normally Open Input:
Placing a short between terminals marked [T] and [+ INP] will trigger the Fire
Alarm Disconnect. Remove the short to reset.
Normally Closed Input:
Removing the wire from terminal marked [INP –] will trigger the Fire Alarm
Disconnect. Replace the wire to terminal marked [INP –] to reset.
FACP Signal Circuit Input:
It is necessary to trigger the Fire Alarm System. In all of the above scenarios
the green TRG LED of the ACM8CB will illuminate. All outputs selected for Fire
Alarm Disconnect will activate releasing locking devices.
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. 10)
or Normally Closed
(Fig. 10, pg. 10)
latching operation,
it is necessary to reset the Fire Alarm Disconnect by activating the Normally Closed reset switch.
Output Voltage Test:
Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper
voltage
level
(refer to eFlowNA8D series Configuration Chart, pg. 2).
Battery Test:
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.
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.
