115159H -  LV I/O OPTION 

 
Status/Alarm Functions: 
 

Status/Alarm outputs are powered when the selected status or alarm is 

triggered.  

Powered

Charging

On Battery

Test Active

, and 

Norm Off Active

 

are available status functions.  An output set to the 

Powered

 function will be 

powered as long as the unit is on.  If the Series LV unit is bulk, absorption, or 
float charging, an output set to 

Charging

 will be powered.  If the Series LV unit is 

in manual test, monthly test, or a yearly test, an output set to 

Test Active

 will be 

powered.  If the unit is in emergency backup, any output set to 

On Battery

 will be 

powered.  

Normally Off Active

 functions similarly to On Battery, except there 

are options in the 

Normally Off Relay

 section of the 

System Setup

 menu that 

keep the normally off load powered for a varying amount of time after the Series 
LV unit returns from emergency backup.

are all available alarm functions.  If an output is set to one of these alarms, and 
the Series LV unit has this alarm, the output relay is powered. 

 
 

Table 4.2 Status Functions 

Status Function 

Description 

Powered 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series unit is powered. 

Charging 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series unit is charging. 

On Battery 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series unit is in emergency backup. 

Test 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series unit is conducting an inverter test. 

Norm Off Active 

Engages the output relay when the normally off relay is powered. 

AC Present 

Engages the output relay when AC is greater than 60Vac 

 
 

    Table 4.3 Alarm Functions 

Alarm Function 

Description 

Charger 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series fails to charge correctly 

Summary 

Disengages the output relay when LV Series summary contact is Disengaged* 

Over current 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series unit is in over current. 

Overload 

Engages the output relay when the LV Series unit is overloaded. 

Test Failed 

Engages the output relay when a monthly, yearly, or manual test has failed. 

Load Red 

Engages the output relay when the load falls below the load reduction set point.  

Heat Sink 

Engages the output relay when the heat sink temperature goes about 90°C  

Input Fuse Failed 

Engages the output relay when the unit has an input fuse failed alarm 

*Summary alarms activates the relays when the unit has no alarms, and deactivates them when 
there is an alarm
