Altronix eFlow102NA8V, Installation Manual

Page: 6 / 16

- 6 - eFlowNA8V Series
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
This installation should be made by qualified service personnel and should conform to the National
Electrical Code and all local codes.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user
to the presence of an insulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not open
enclosure. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing
to qualified service personnel.
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 ACM8 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. 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: Under normal load conditions the DC output voltage should be checked for proper
voltage level (refer to eFlowNA8V Series Configuration Chart, pg. 3).
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.
