7.5 Batteries
The ID3000 Series control panel is designed for optimum
performance when used with either the Yuasa-NP range
of backup batteries. The panel back boxes have space
provision for two 12V batteries; the deepest back box
sizes being capable of holding two Yuasa-NP 38Ah-sized
battery units.
The maximum battery ratings for the available back box
options are shown in the table at left. For larger battery
requirements, use an external PSU with 78Ah Enclosure or
for 130/70Ah batteries, an externally mounted battery cabinet.
The batteries are not supplied with the panel. A valve-
regulated, lead-acid type MUST be used.
7.5.1 Connecting the Batteries
The procedure below describes connection of batteries to
the Kit PSU3A only. For PSUs other than the Kit PSU3A,
refer to the instructions provided with the PSU. To connect
the batteries:
1
Externally isolate the AC mains supply at the third-party-
supplied isolator unit and fit the batteries in the back box.
2
With the batteries in place, disconnect the battery and
thermistor leads by removing the four-way plug
connector (A) from the PSU output socket (B) -
adjacent to the battery fuse (C). Disconnect the leads
from the connector then measure and cut them to the
correct length as follows:
a. For the battery leads (D and E), measure from the
PSU output socket to the rear terminal of each battery,
i.e. one positive and one negative.
b. For the thermistor leads (F), measure from the PSU
output socket to a position on the side wall - NOT the
top plate - of the right-hand battery.
In both cases, the leads must be made as short as possible.
The thermistor should be secured to the side wall of the battery
using a suitable silicon-based sealant.
To obtain optimum EMC protection, run the thermistor and
battery wiring close to the rear corner of the back box. Secure
the wiring with the supplied self-adhesive cable clips.
Reconnect the battery and thermistor leads to the plug,
then reconnect the plug to the PSU output socket.
Connect the red (D) and black (E) leads to the free
positive and negative battery terminals respectively.
DO NOT connect the wire link between the batteries
at this stage!
3
Turn on the ac mains supply and verify that after
power-up the panel indicates ‘POWER SUPPLY
FAULT’. This may take up to 20 seconds.
4
Connect the batteries in series (+ve of one to -ve of
the other) using the wire link supplied.
Note:
When the batteries are connected the panel performs
a battery wiring integrity test. If this test fails BATTERY
FAILURE is diplayed on the LCD. Check for poor battery
wiring connections and remedy. If the batteries require
