Informer Series Tone Alert Receiver
19
Training
To run the monthly text, do the following:
1.
Remove the power supply from the AC outlet.
2.
Hold down the MONITOR and RESET buttons together until you hear the
alert tone and the Alert and Test LEDs are turned on. After the test, the Power
LED should be blinking and the Alert and Test LEDs should turn off. If you
do not hear the tone or if the Power LED turns off completely, contact your
local service center for repair.
3.
If the test runs successfully, reconnect the AC power adaptor and verify the
power LED stops blinking and turns on steady.
Training
Ensure all users are properly trained to use the system before putting the Informer
TAR into service. The user should be able to detect the warning tone in the desired
coverage area. Users should have instructions.
Using the Battery Switch
The battery has a disconnect switch hidden behind a small opening in the rear of the
Informer TAR. The switch is intentionally out of reach to avoid tampering and should
not be switched by the end user under normal circumstances. The switch location is
shown in the “Rear View Input/Output Definitions” section on page 6.
IMPORTANT
: Do not turn off the Informer TAR unless it is being removed from
service.
You can toggle the switch by using a small paperclip or similar device capable of
reaching into the switch opening and moving the switch. The switch is on when it is
pushed away from the center of the Informer TAR. After the battery switch is turned
on, connect the Informer TAR to the 9 VDC power supply to power-up the Informer
TAR. To verify the battery switch is on, remove power from the wall transformer
from the Informer TAR and verify the power LED begins to flash. If the LED does
not flash, check the battery switch position again and retry this test.
Replacing the Battery
The Informer uses a 6 V, 1.2 A/H sealed valve regulated rechargeable battery (part
number 155191A). Replace the battery with the same make and model battery as the
original equipment. Typical battery life ranges from three to five years depending on
use.
To replace the battery, do the following:
1.
Remove the power supply from the Informer TAR.
2.
Place the Informer TAR on a flat table speaker side down.
