Operating Instructions
These operating instructions shall be placed near the panel.
Inspecting Batteries
Inspect the standby batteries annually to determine the connection integrity to the XT+ Releasing Control Unit. The fire
control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of power failure. The standby
batteries have a life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. Test the standby batteries annually in accordance with the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations to determine their suitability for continued standby operation.
Replacing Standby Batteries
Replace standby batteries when the service period reaches 3 to 5 years or when the low battery message is present on
LCD display. The standard size cabinet of the panel accepts battery sizes up to 28 Ah. Batteries larger than 28 Ah may
be mounted remotely in a UL listed battery cabinet. Batteries smaller than 28 Ah do not require special cabinet mounting
considerations. The power supply charges up to 60 Ah.
