Chapter 3 Operation

Initial Startup

1.Switch the AC circuit breaker to the ON position.

2.Verify that the FLM and SLM circuit breakers are switched to the ON position.

3.Allow 15 seconds for the SLM to run through the time delay cycle.

4.Check the battery float voltage on the charger card at TP1 and TP2.

If adjustment is necessary, switch the battery circuit breaker to the OFF position. Attach test leads to TP1 (red) and TP2 (black), adjust potentiometer R2 for correct reading. Switch the battery circuit breaker to the ON position.

5.Measure the voltage at the Coax connector ensuring that 60 VAC are present.

Verify SLM Operation

Allow the batteries to charge for 24 hours prior to testing.

Switch the FLM circuit breaker to the OFF position. The red lamp will illuminate and the SLM will begin standby mode operation.

Shut Down

Switch the battery circuit breaker, the FLM circuit breaker, and the AC line circuit breaker to the OFF positions.

Auxiliary Power Supply

1.Set up an auxiliary AC generator and calibrate to 60 Hz ± 1 Hz.

2.Turn the AC main breaker to the OFF position.

3.Unplug the AC input cord from the FLM and attach it to the generator extension cord.

4.The green lamp on the bottom or the enclosure will illuminate.
