AC Power loss function
By default the P-1 is set by default to continue on battery power when AC power is disconnected.
This can be configured in the settings of the P-1 menu, by selecting one of the following options:
• Battery backup
- The fixture continues on battery power if AC power is disconnected.
• Emergency light
- The fixture continues on battery power, with static white light at full output if AC power is disconnected.
•
Power off
- The fixture turns off if AC power is disconnected.
Normal operation will resume when AC power is re-established to the P-1.
Battery charging and use
The batteries are charging when the P-1 is connected to AC power and:
•
When the P-1 is off
• When the P-1 is on, but idle / not in use
The batteries do not charge while the fixture is in active use, e.g. when the light source is on.
Charging from a discharged state to full voltage and: 70% of full capacity, 3.5 hours
*
, 100% of full capacity, 6.5 hours*.
After >1000 full cycles the expected battery capacity will be 85%* of the initial capacity. (Full cycle = 0% to 100% to 0%).
If the batteries are not fully charged/discharged, the number of cycles are higher.
PLEASE NOTE
Only use the P-1 connected to AC power when ambient temperatures are between 0°C and 45°C.
Running on battery power, the P-1 can be used when the ambient temperatures are between -20°C and 50°C.
Only charge the P-1 connected to AC power when ambient temperatures are between 7°C and 45°C.
Battery time and battery extension
When using the P-1 running on battery power the estimated battery capacity is up to 12 hours. The P-1 can be configured to extend
the battery time, for up to 24 hours by dimming the output accordingly. Go to MENU → SETTINGS → BATTERY EXTENSION.
The battery extension time set in the menu, only applies to a fixture with fully charged batteries.
The battery time is reduced when using the P-1 in cold environments.
