Connecting the backup battery
Connection of the backup (buffer) battery [A] must be carried out during the phase described
in Chapter 4, First power up.
The metal enclosure of the Prime060S is capable of housing one lead battery @12V 7Ah or
9Ah.
The metal enclosure of the Prime060L, Prime120L and Prime240L is capable of housing one
lead battery @12V 17Ah.
Note
The battery casing must have HB flame rating or higher.
Using the battery wire [B] (included), connect the battery directly to the control panel
motherboard.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that battery polarity is correct:
- black wire = negative
- red wire = positive
Connect the cable to the control panel using the appropriate connector ([C] on the switching
power supply Table 2-5: Control panels - description of parts, E).
The lead battery is the secondary power source which powers the system when the primary
(mains) power source fails (230V 50Hz).
Once powered up, the panel will charge and monitor the batteries automatically. The panel
tests the efficiency of the batteries by simulating load current demand at regular 4 minute
intervals. If the control panel detects a voltage inferior to 10.4V (battery inefficient), it will
generate an Empty battery event that will not clear until the voltage goes back to over 11.4V.
This fault will be signalled on the yellow LED on the keypads. To view the fault event, work
through the following steps:
