Inspecting Batteries
Inspect the standby-batteries annually to determine the connection integrity to the Shield A-XT Releasing
Fire Control Panel. The fire control panel contains sealed lead acid batteries to provide standby power in the event of
mains failure. The standby-batteries have a life expectancy of 3 to 5 years. Test the standby-batteries annually in
accordance with the battery manufacturer’s recommendations to determine their suitability for continued standby
operation.
Replacing Standby-Batteries
Replace standby-batteries when the service period reaches 3 to 5 years or when the low-battery indicator illuminates
on the power supply. Specify replacement batteries that are Power Sonic model PS-1270 F2, sealed-lead-acid,
12 VDC and 7 AH.
