NOVO Technical Handbook - NE41 15013-02 v2.0

4.2.2  Accumulator alarm

The unit monitors the voltage level of the 

Accumulator

When the unit is connected to AC, the interval of voltage level checks can be 

configured. With the default configuration this interval is 24 hours. 
When the unit is powered from the accumulator, NOVO checks the voltage level every 

minute.
Should the voltage level fall below the configured threshold, NOVO can be configured 

to trigger an 

Accumulator alarm

NOVO can be configured to indicate Accumulator failure visually and/or acoustically. 

See relevant sections in chapter "3 Indications".

4.2.3  Automatic test alarm

NOVO can be configured to send an 

Automatic test alarm

 with a configurable interval 

(default value is 24 hours). This function is intended to allow supervision of the unit. 
If active, the first test alarm will be sent after a random time between 5 and 60 

minutes after units’ installation. The second test alarm will be sent after a random 

period between 1 minute and the number of hours given by the configured interval.

4.2.4  Battery alarm

Transmitters registered in NOVO can send a Battery alarm and/or include the battery 

status (low/ok) in a normal alarm transmission. NOVO will transmit this battery alarm 

as it is configured to do.

4.2.5  Radio interference

If a continuous radio interference signal is detected for 30 seconds the unit can 

be configured to send a 

Radio interference alarm

 and indicate this visually and/or 

acoustically, see chapter "3 Indications".
The unit can be configured to send a 

Radio OK alarm

 when radio interference is no 

longer detected. That alarm will only be triggered if Radio Interference has been 

reported.
For Radio Interference, an 

alarm delay

 can be configured. The unit will indicate the 

failure when Radio Interference is detected but will delay transmitting an alarm for 

the configured alarm delay.
