5.3.6BATTERY OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

The MAF/PSU has two parallel PTCs, rated to carry over 3A, for battery overcurrent protection.

Where the Alarm load from the battery to FIP is greater than 3A (i.e. with mains failed), or where a 6A power supply is used, an external, self-resetting, overcurrent device of suitable rating (greater than 6A, less than 35A e.g. Derwent, 10A Type D (connected to pins 1 and 3)) must be wired between the battery terminals on the MAF/PSU and the battery (see Fig 5.3.2). For this option the PTCs must be shorted by soldering a suitable copper wire between the two adjacent test points +VB and BATT+ (TP11 and TP16 on the MAF/PSU). For a FIP supplied with a 6A PSU, this is done in the factory and the Derwent cut-out is included.

5.3.7POWERING AN F3200 FROM AN EXTERNAL DC SUPPLY

To comply with AS1670.1 F3200 uses a 240Vac supply as the primary power source and back-up batteries as the secondary power source. However the F3200 may be powered from an external dc supply. This must be battery backed, or have another form of secondary source to comply with AS1670.1. The supply must provide a voltage and current within F3200’s operating range (preferably 25-27Vdc).

The following wiring instruction connects the dc supply voltage onto the ac (low voltage) input so that the Mains on LEDs on both the MAF/PSU and Controller PCBs are illuminated. Because this signal is not ac, the Controller generates a ‘Mains Fail’ condition and automatically disables the charger monitoring and battery tests.

With no mains (ac) present the real time clock (RTC) on the Controller Display will use the crystal time base instead of mains 50Hz and will therefore not be as accurate. The accuracy of the clock can be improved by installing V3.XX F3200 software instead of V2.XX software. Refer to LT0255/LT0256.
