4009 IDNAC Repeater Installation Instructions
Periodic battery testing
Consult the following requirements for battery testing:
• Test the batteries annually by discharging them with a suitable tester and verifying that the battery voltage is at least 21 V when fully discharged.
• Replace the batteries sooner than 4 years from the date of installation.
• Install batteries within six months of the date of their manufacture.
Additional battery information is as follows:
• The 4009 Repeater battery charger is temperature compensated according to battery manufacturer recommendations. There is no charger voltage
adjustment.
• The battery voltage fluctuates with temperature variations. At normal room temperature the battery voltage should be 27-27.6 V when the battery
set is fully charged. At higher temperatures, the voltage is lower. At lower temperatures, the voltage is higher.
• Table on page 13 shows the proper range of battery voltage across the specified operating range of the equipment.
