BATTERY TEST ON
Background:
The CP-220A is designed to support the use of a rechargeable standby
battery in the absence of AC power or if the AC fuse is blown. In such cases,
the battery can operate the CP-220A for up to 24 hours, depending on the
amount of activity logged by the Central Station.
The battery, a 12 Volt, 55 Amp-Hour (AH) rechargeable gel cell, is connected
to the CP-220A via an FBI-furnished No. 135 cable. As long as the CP-220A
operates from AC power, the standby battery will recharge in anticipation of
a possible AC outage. Refer to Figure 1-6 in Section 1 for additional details.
As such, it's wise to periodically test the battery, which can be performed
automatically via this parameter. The CP-220A will place the battery under
a momentary 2-ampere load every 15 minutes, as long as AC power is
present. If the battery voltage falls to approximately 10.2VDC (Volts, DC)
during any test, a [BATTERY TEST FAIL] message will be displayed by the
receiver and passed on to an attached printer and possibly an automation
system, if used. The [BATTERY TEST FAIL] message will be repeated every
15 minutes thereafter until the problem is corrected. If the battery returns
to normal during a subsequent test, the CP-220A will display [BATTERY
RESTORE].
