Maintenance

Wet Battery:

Periodically inspect fluid levels on all cells. If refilling is required,
use distilled water only, refill to designated upper line.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If unit is installed in an area of high temperatures, increase peri­odic inspection intervals, as higher watter usage will result.

(Observe safety precaution when handling corrosive batteries.)

Dry battery:

None required. Unit should be tested monthly in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, or local codes.

Important notice

This equipment is furnished with a low battery disconnect circuit in the
emergency mode. If the building is to be unoccupied for an extended
period of time and all the power is to be disconnected, the internal batter­ies must be unplugged from the circuit board to prevent damage. Do not
allow the battery wires to short circuit.

Battery terminals are mounted on the component side of
the circuit board. Make sure to separate lamp load evenly on both circuits.
