7) Momentarily open each of the following circuits:
A) Each initiating device zone. There is a brief delay when these circuits are in the Style D (Class A) mode.
B) Supervisory circuit.
C) Indicating Appliance circuits.
D) Abort Circuit.
Verify that this results in a trouble condition and all indicators operated as described in the appropriate preceding section for
the particular circuit that is faulted.
8) Turn off AC power at the circuit breaker panel. The green "AC ON" LED will be extinguished. Verify that all the trouble
indicators described in the section on "Loss or Reduction of AC Power" occur. Operated the Reset/Test switch to the Test
position. All audible and visual indicators should operate. Restore the switch to normal. Restore the AC power.
9) Operate the Auto Reset switch to the on position.
10) Operated each alarm imitating device on all zones. All audible and visual devices should operated. These devices will cease to
operate after period of approximately 3 seconds. Power will automatically be removed from the initiating device circuit for
approximately 15 seconds. No alarm can be initiated during this period. If the imitating device has not been restore the panel
will go back into the alarm condition.
11) Operate each initiating device on the supervisory circuit. Verify that all the indications described in the section on
"Supervisory Conditions" occur.
12) Restore the Releasing Circuit Switch.
13) Return the Auto Reset switch to the off position. All the LED's on the panel except the green "AC ON" LED should be off. All
audible and visual indicators connected to the indicating appliance circuit should be off.
14) Notify all building personnel that the test has been concluded.
15) Notify the fire department or other receiving station that the test has been concluded.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill in the name, address and telephone number of the servicing agency on the instruction sheet provided and post in a
prominent place. There are two Operating Instruction sheets provided, one if abort mode 1 is used and the other if abort mode
2 is used.
BATTERY SIZE REQUIREMENTS
These panels require a 24 Volt gel-cell battery for proper operation. 24 hours of standby power is required for NFPA 722-
Central Station Systems, Local Systems and Proprietary Systems.
The chart below will assist you in selecting the proper size battery:
Battery Size
Hours of Standby
Maximum Auxiliary Current Load
4.0 AH

.100
8.0 AH

.175
8.0 AH

Note: Batteries rated above 10AH require a separate battery cabinet.
Alternate method of calculating battery size using the "Calculation Table" on page 19.
1)List in column #1 all devices used in the system, include all modules, bells, horns, door holders and smoke detectors (see Table
#1 or manufacturers specifications).
2) List in column #2 the quantity of each device.
3) List in column #3 the standby current of each device (exclude all indicating appliance devices).
4) List in column #5 the alarm current of each device.
5) For each line, multiply the figure in column #2 by the figure in column #3 and enter the product in column #4. Then multiply the
figure in column #2 by the figure in column #5 and enter the product in column #6.
6) Add the figures in column #3 and #6, then enter the sums in the appropriate Total mA box.
7) Convert these figures from milliampere to amperes by multiplying by .001, enter the product in the appropriate Total A box.
8) Multiply the standby total amperes by required time in hours from Table 2.
9) Divide the alarm total amperes by 12 for 5 min. or by 6 for 10 min. (see Table 2).
10) Add the standby AH and the alarm AH and divide this sum by .85 (Efficiency Factor). Select a battery that has an AH rating
above this figure but not less than 6.5 AH.
