STEP 3 - Install the Batteries

!
WARNING The standby batteries can deliver
high current presenting danger of injury and
equipment damage while working on the panel.
Take care not to accidentally short the battery
terminals.
The FC501-L control panel provide housing for two
12V, 7Ah or 12Ah maximum batteries;
moreover, the FC501-H and FC501-HK control panel
can be connected to two 12V, 12Ah or 38Ah in an ex-
ternal metal box for power during Mains failure.
1. Locate the backup batteries in the housing in the
bottom of backplate (two 12V, 7Ah or 12Ah):
-secure the batteries with the plastic straps to the
backplate of the panel using the appropriate ope-
ning;
-Using the Jumper (supplied), connect the batteries
in series.
-Observing the battery polarity, connect the battery
terminals to terminals -BAT+ on Main Board (wires
supplied).
2. The FC501 control panel supports the KST thermal
probe. The probe will optimize the battery charging
process by regulating the charge voltage in accor-
dance with the battery temperature.
3. Connect the probe to the dedicated connector on
the switching Power supply. Attach the probe to
one of the batteries, in such a way as to obtain opti-
mum heat transfer.
4. Re-fit the label of the batteries with the current date.

STEP 4 Commissioning

The next stage is commissioning. This involves configu-
ring and testing the system. A fully comprehensive test
procedure cannot be provided. This is because the te-
sting must be in accordance with local regulations and
practice. Also, sites differ in terms of the system design.
This means the tests must be individually planned to
suit the specific site requirements. Instead of a compre-
hensive test procedure, this chapter provides guideli-
nes in the form of an example procedure. For details of
the control panel operator functions, refer to the control
panel user guide.
