1.

Verify the STRIKE Control Unit is functioning properly and the green ‘System Normal’ LED is
flashing once every 4 seconds.

2.

Remove all Fire Alarm Modules (P/N 23651) used during function testing from the actuation
circuits and reconnect all Linear Actuators (P/N 20500

-

R).

3.

Disconnect the batteries used for programming (Section 4.10) and initial commissioning
(Section 4.11) from the STRIKE Control Unit in the following order:

Disconnect the

secondary battery first, then disconnect the temporary spare Replacement Battery from
the ‘Primary’ location. The

STRIKE

Control Unit will turn off completely.

4.

Locate the original two batteries, included with the STRIKE Control Unit. Verify each is
installed in the provided battery brackets in the STRIKE Control Unit enclosure.

First, connect

the left battery to the ‘Primary’ battery connection port and then the right battery to the
‘Secondary’ battery connection port (See Figure 4.12.2).

Verify the STRIKE Control Unit

returns to normal condition with green ’System Normal’ LED is flashing once every 4 seconds.

5.

Locate the included Battery Replacement Label. Populate the following information:

•

Primary battery serial number

•

Secondary battery serial number

•

Current date of commissioning (Installation date)

•

Battery replacement date (6 months from current date of commissioning).

The Amerex

STRIKE

Electronic Control

System is now in service.
