Battery Installation
WARNING
Improper battery connections or shorting battery terminals may damage the system
and/or batteries and may cause personal injuries.
Use the battery calculation chart to determine the battery size. Place the batteries in the space
provided in the bottom of the backbox. If a battery set larger than12 AH (MPC-6000, RND-2) or
18 AH (MPC-7000) is required, a separate enclosure must be used. The Faraday 14050 may
be used for battery sets 18 AH and smaller. The Faraday BE-1 may be used for battery sets
38.5 AH up to 100 AH.
The control unit uses a 24V battery set. Connect the two 12V batteries (or four 6V batteries) in
series with wire that is rated for the maximum worst-case battery current draw. Route the
battery leads to the left of the enclosure and up to the battery connector, J4. The battery leads
are not power-limited.
DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERIES YET.
Powering the Control Unit
After all modules and wiring are installed and properly checked, apply AC power to the control
unit. AC POWER ON LED, SYSTEM TROUBLE LED, and the trouble buzzer should be on.
Observe polarity
. Connect the B- (black) lead from the main board into the black or - terminal
of the battery set and the B+ (red) lead from the main board into the red or + terminal of the
battery set. (Refer to Primary and Secondary Wiring for diagram.)
Optional Modules
See Appendix D for the installation instructions for each optional module. Installation
Instructions are also provided with each module. Follow these instructions for proper
installation.
When using the MPC-DACT, select the proper System Type in the “System Parameter” tabs of
CIS-4. This automatically sets the “DACT Pwr Fail Tmr.”
