7.9.4Connect Battery
By default, the AC8 checks the battery and sounds an alarm when the power fails, the battery runs low or the battery needs to be checked. The battery’s main purpose is to provide enough power to the modem to notify pagers of a power loss.
NOTE
The battery will continue to power and provide full operation of the AC8 with the exception of powering the analog inputs (sensors). The battery will provide backup for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Using the following procedure to disconnect the battery will disable battery alarm features only. The battery itself will continue to provide backup. If battery backup is not desired, the battery must be unplugged from the circuit board. This can be done by removing the battery leads from the jumpers (see 2.4.2 - Connecting the Battery Pack).
The default is to connect the battery. However, there may be times that you want to disconnect the battery so that it does not provide backup.
Table 25 shows battery problems that will affect operation.
