ABOUT GLASS TUBE FUSES ON CERTIFIED DEVICES
There are glass tube fuses on the circuit board's load outputs, these have a tripping
time of approx. 150 ms. In the event that a glass tube fuse trips on ONE load output,
the voltage on ALL load outputs drops to 0 V for 150 ms.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that there is an energy buffer of at least 150
ms in systems that the battery backup supplies power to or accepts a power failure of
150 ms.

There is a risk of damage if the fuse is changed to a larger one than what the unit
is delivered with. The function of the fuse is to protect the connected load and cables
against damage and fire. It is not possible to change the fuse to a larger one to
increase the power output.

LED (DIP 8)
LED/battery-test always lights up when the door is open.
Dip-switch 8=ON turns off the LED.
Dip-switch 8=OFF turns on the LED.
NOTICE
For certified units:
To comply with SSF-1014 up to alarm class 4, the LED on the door must be off
(Dip-switch 8 to ON).
BATTERY TEST (DIP 8)
To do a battery test, dip 8 needs to change position and five seconds need to pass before the test is
initiated.
• If dip 8 in original position is on OFF then switch dip 8 to: ON (wait 5 seconds) and then switch back
to OFF.
14

• If dip 8 in original position is on ON then switch dip 8 to: OFF (wait 5 seconds) and then switch back
to ON.
This activates the battery test after 3-8 seconds. The battery test lasts for about 6 seconds and then
the LED flashes yellow quickly. Aged battery alarms may be indicated while the battery test is being
performed.
Only reset dip 8 when the test is complete.
5.1.7. Reboot to confirm changes in address, battery and alarm settings to parent
system
After the dip-switch has been set for various parameters, the device's software needs to be restarted.
This is for the new settings to be stored and take effect.
Restarting the device software is done by jumpering J11 (PRO3)
IMPORTANT
Reboot must be done every time a change is made to the device.
5.1.8. Alarm via bus communication, P3: RS-485 on PRO3
Connection of communication to the parent system takes place via RS-485 on P3. See the parent
system documentation for more information.
For more information about alarms via RS-485 see Technical data, motherboard: PRO 3 [25].
5.1.9. Data recovery after battery replacement -PRO3
After battery replacement, the device needs to measure the capacity of new batteries and clear previ-
ously set battery capacity. All alarms are cleared from the units memory, statistics remains and can not
be cleared.
• Insert jumper on J11 and remove jumper on J11
After doing step, the battery capacity is cleared in the units memory and is ready to read the new
battery capacity.
This procedure needs to be done each time the batteries are replaced or when connecting a battery
box.
NOTE ON TEST OF BATTERIES
At start-up, it takes 72 hours before the system performs battery tests. This is to
ensure fully charged batteries and to collect averages / history for at least 72 hours.
Thereafter, every four hours, a qualified cell sample of the batteries is performed.
15

NOTE ON START-UP WITH SHORT-CIRCUITED BATTERIES
Peak current at start-up with short-circuited batteries: Up to 30 A p-p for 200 ms.
Always follow the start-up procedure.

7. MULTIPLE UNITS INTO ONE PARENT SYSTEM
To connect several units to a parent system, load-minus (P2: 2, P2: 4) must be connected.
8. COMMISSIONING - HOW TO START THE UNIT
1. Connect batteries
2. Connect / switch on fuses
3. connect load, alarm and possibly. other connections.
4. Screw the mains cable into the terminal block and attach the terminal block to the motherboard.
5. Switch on mains voltage.
The unit works normally when the indicator LED on the outside of the cabinet door lights up with a solid
green light. See front panel for other status indications.
It may take up to 72 hours before the batteries are fully charged.
8.1. System test
Test the connected device by performing a system test afterwards commissioning [17].
17

• Switch on incoming mains voltage.
• Indicator LED on the outside of the cabinet door lights up with a solid green light. Disconnect the
mains voltage to check that the unit is operating in battery mode and alarms.
• Indicator LED on the cabinet door flashes, see alarm type panel.
• Switch on incoming mains voltage. Indicator LED, on the outside of the cabinet door, lights up with a
solid green light. Normal operation.
8.2. Recovery
Reset the unit by completely de-energizing the unit.
Disconnect battery wiring and mains voltage and reconnect after 5 seconds.

10. ADJUSTMENT OF TAMPER SWITCH
The tamper switch lever must be in the closed position when the cabinet door is closed. If the alarm
goes off ("tamper alarm"), the lever may needs to be adjusted.
The lever is adjusted by the following steps:
1. Pinch with pliers in the middle of the lever.
2. Carefully adjust the lever in the desired direction (up / down).
3. Check by closing the door. A click is heard when the contact is closed.
NOTICE
Tamper switch will not give an alarm when closed and locked the door.
11. MAINTENANCE
The system with the exception of batteries is maintenance-free when installed in an indoor environment.
Check the fan annually. The fan should rotate smoothly without any noise. Clean the fan from dust and
dirt. The fan must be replaced if it does not rotate smoothly or is so dirty that it cannot be completely
cleaned. If the fan does not work well, the air flow in the unit will be obstructed, which leads to an
increase in heat in the enclosure, which can lead to a deterioration of the battery capacity and to a
significantly shorter battery replacement interval.
11.1. About batteries
Batteries generate electricity through a chemical process and there is thus a natural degradation of
capacity. The biggest factor for battery life is temperature. The higher the temperature, the shorter the
service life. An ideal temperature is 20 ° C. The date of manufacture marked on the battery and the
service life (as specified by the battery manufacturer) apply to completely new and unused battery.
Thus, actual lifespan varies. Batteries should be replaced half specified (from the battery manufacturer)
19

service life for safe operation. Batteries purchased via Milleteknik have a lifespan (from the manufactur-
er) of between 10-12 years with a recommended replacement after 5-6 years.
11.2. battery change
• If possible, disconnect mains (voltage) when replacing the battery.
• Disconnect battery cables. Note how battery cables are mounted before removing them.
• Remove battery fuse between batteries.
• Insert and fasten the new batteries.
• Connect the battery cables in the same way as before.
• Connect battery fuse between batteries.
• Switch on mains voltage. The indicator LED may not be green (up to 72 hours), until the batteries are
charged.
• Test the system by briefly disconnecting the mains voltage, (= the load is driven by the batteries), and
then switch on the mains voltage again.
Have you changed the size of the battery? Then don't forget to change the battery capacity, see Battery
capacity setting, Dip switch 5-7
11.3. Battery recycling
All batteries must be recycled. Return to manufacturer or return to recycling station.
