164 Strata CIX General Description 12/07
Reserve Power
Two or four customer-supplied 12VDC reserve batteries (80 ampere-hours max.) can be connected
to either system to maintain normal operation during a power failure (see
Tables 32~35). The
batteries are kept in a highly-charged state by the power supply’s battery charger and must be
connected when the system is operating normally. Fully charged batteries must be connected when
normal AC power is available, batteries cannot be connected after/during an actual power failure.
The Strata CIX200 does not have a battery; make sure you use Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS). The battery charger is standard on the CIX670 power supply. An optional ABCS battery
charger must be used in the CIX100 power supply.
