VistaQuest N7227V5 Final Power UP, To bypass this delay, press # +, Example

Section 11. FINAL POWER UP

In previous sections, you made temporary power connections for the purpose of programming and testing. This section provides information about final power-up procedures and battery size calculations.

Earth Ground Connections

The designated earth ground terminal (21) must be terminated in a good earth ground for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be effective. See the INSTALLING THE CONTROL section earlier in this manual.

AC Power-Up

1.Plug the 1321/TF2 transformer into a 24-hour, uninterrupted 120VAC outlet.

2.Following power-up, AC, dI (disabled), or System Busy (Alpha keypads) or NOT READY (fixed-word keypads) will be displayed. Also the green "READY" LED* on the keypad(s) should light.

*Some keypads are equipped with a "POWER" LED in place of a "READY" LED.

After approximately 1 minute, the initial displays will revert to DISARMED...READY TO ARM for Alpha keypads, or READY for Fixed - word keypads (if there are no faulted zones). This 1-minute delay allows PIRs, etc. to stabilize.

To bypass this delay, press: [#] + [0].

Note: If you do not get the “Ready” displays described above, refer to “Trouble Conditions” in theSYSTEM OPERATION section, and also to the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section.

Connecting The Back-Up Battery

Calculating the Battery Size Needed

In the event of an AC power loss, the Control panel is supported by a back-up, rechargeable gel cell battery. The minimum battery size recommended is the No. 467 (12V, 4AH) battery. See “Calculating Battery Size Needed” below. The battery is installed in the control cabinet.

The standby battery connection is automatically checked every 3 minutes (CSFM requirement). In addition, entry into the test mode will cause a battery test to be initiated. If there is no battery or a low battery, a low battery message is displayed and, if so programmed, will be reported to the central station.

Determine the total device current draw after filling in the AUXILIARY DEVICE CURRENT DRAW WORKSHEET on the next page. To this figure add the 100mA that is drawn by the control panel itself. Then, to determine the battery size needed, use the following formula:

Total Current Drawn* x Number of hours standby wanted = Battery Ampere/Hours.

*Convert mA figure to decimal Amps (see example).

Example:

If total auxiliary device current drawn is 450mA, add 100mA for the control panel, for a total of 550mA (0.55 amps); if 24-hour standby is wanted, the calculation will be:

0.55mA x 24 hours = 13.2 Ampere/Hour battery needed.

In this example, two 7 Amp/Hr batteries (connected in parallel) must be used.
