Power failure options
To provide battery backup
Your Commander Connect can be equipped with an optional Battery Backup Unit (BBU). When
equipped, full operation of the Commander Connect is provided for at least one hour in the event
of a power failure. If your system is equipped with ISDN access, it is recommended that this
BBU be installed as calls can be received and made on the ISDN lines if power fails.
Battery Alarm
If your system is equipped with a Battery a message ‘ Battery’ is displayed on Station 20 if the
system is running on the Battery. If you are not aware that the normal power has failed, check
that the Commander Connect System is correctly plugged in.
To make outgoing calls following a power failure
In the event of a mains power failure, (with the system not equipped with a BBU), Analogue
exchange lines are switched automatically to particular Stations and calls can be made and
received on these lines until the power is restored. The Keystation will not work when power has
failed, so these Stations must be connected to standard telephones in order for calls to be made.
• Line 1 is switched to Station 26
• Line 2 is switched to Station 27
• Line 5 is switched to Station 34
• Line 6 is switched to Station 35
• Line 9 is switched to Station 42
• Line 10 is switched to Station 43
• Line 13 is switched to Station 50
• Line 14 is switched to Station 51
Note: ISDN lines are not switched. A Battery Backup Unit must be provided if ISDN service is
required during a power failure.
Led Indicators
A status LED on the BBU is provided.
• GREEN indicates the unit is running from mains power and the battery is charging or
fully charged
• ORANGE indicates the unit is running off the Battery
• RED indicates that the battery is discharged
• Flashing RED indicates the battery is disconnected and the system is running from the
mains
