Operation Upon Loss of AC

Power
The control is equipped with either an 8 Amp-Hour or 13
Amp-Hour 24 Vdc lead acid battery for operation upon
loss of ac power. The control maintains full operation
from the battery for a period of time dependent upon the
battery size:
• 8 Amp-Hour — 15 hour maximum (20°C)
• 13 Amp-Hour — 25 hour maximum (20°C)
In the event that the ac power has not returned within the
times listed above, the control will disconnect the battery
from the circuit.
Note: The control continuously monitors the battery voltage.
To prevent battery damage, the control shuts down
automatically upon detection of low battery voltage
(below 22 Vdc) for 60 seconds.

Under normal conditions, with AC connected and a
fully charged battery, the charging current should
be less than 20 mA.
With AC connected and a discharged battery the
current range should be 20–450 mA.
With AC disconnected and the battery supplying
