OPERATION/TESTING/MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
When AC power is applied, the LED test switch is illuminated, indicating that the batteries are being charged.
When AC power fails, the 18450X automatically switches to emergency power, operating the lighting load at
rated emergency power. During power failure, the LED test switch will be off. When the AC power is restored,
the emergency 18450X switches the system back to normal mode of operation and resumes battery charging.
The charging time for a full discharge is 24 hours. A short term discharge test may be conducted after the
18450X has been charging for 1 hour. Charge for 24 hours before conducting a long term discharge test.
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
The following Periodic testing is recommended to ensure the system is working correctly.
1. Visually inspect the LED test switch (LTS) monthly. It should be illuminated when AC power is applied.
2. Conduct a 30-second discharge test by switching off the emergency breaker every month. The LTS will
be off.
3. Conduct a 90-minute discharge test once per year.
AUTO TEST
The 18450X has an Auto Test feature which saves cost by reducing the need for manual testing.
1. Initial Auto Test
When the system is connected properly and powered on, the 18450X will perform an initial Auto Test.
If any abnormal conditions exist, the LTS will blink quickly. Once the abnormal condition is corrected,
the LTS will function correctly.
2. Preprogrammed Scheduled Auto Test
a) The unit will conduct the first Monthly Auto Test after 24 hours and up to 7 days after initial power on.
Then monthly tests will be performed every 30 days.
b) Annual Auto test will occur every 52 weeks after initial power on.
- Monthly Auto Test
The Monthly Auto Test shall be executed every 30 days, and will test;
Normal to emergency transfer function, emergency, charging and discharging conditions are normal.
Monthly test time is approximately 30 seconds.
- Annual Auto Test
Annual Auto Test will occur every 52 weeks after the initial 24 hours full charge, and will test;
Proper initial battery voltage, 90-minute emergency operation and acceptable battery voltage at the end
of the full discharge. If the Auto Test is interrupted by a power failure, a full 90-minute Auto Test will occur
again 24 hours after the power is restored. If the power failure causes the battery to fully discharge, the
product will restart the Initial Auto Test and Preprogrammed Scheduled Auto Test.
MANUAL TEST
- Press the LTS one time to simulate emergency mode.
- Press the LTS 2 times continuously within 5 seconds to force a monthly test.After the test is completed,
the next (30-day) monthly test will count from this date.
- Press the LTS 3 times continuously within 5 seconds to force a 90-minute annual test. After the test is
completed, the next (52-week) annual test will count from this date.
- During any manual test, press and hold the LTS for greater than 3 seconds to terminate a manual test.
The Preprogrammed Scheduled Auto Test time will not change.
LED TEST SWITCH CONDITIONS
- LTS Slow Blinking: Normal Charging
- LTS On: Battery Fully Charged - Normal Condition
- LTS Off: Power Failure
- LTS Gradual Change: In Testing Mode
- LTS Quickly Blinking: Abnormal Condition - Corrective Action Required
