Remove Battery Trouble
on Fire Panel
I got many calls
where FACP is under UPS supply, no need battery nut if we do not use battery
then panel show Battery Fault trouble. You also observe this. There is a way to
connect an FACU Fire Alarm Control Unit without backup batteries and have it
remain in the normal condition. This is typically only used if you have a
training and or demonstration FACU (only if the system is not an approved
life safety system for the site).
The backup
battery charger on an FACP, FACU, MNS, RPS, etc. is always looking
for 24VDC. This is how it supervises the backup
batteries. In other words, this is how the fire
alarm control unit knows that backup batteries are present. The same
terminals on the charger also put out 24VDC in order to constantly charge the
backup batteries so that they are always ready in the event of primary power
loss.
Most jurisdictions require
24 hours of standby and 5 minutes of alarm for a horn/strobe system and 24
hours of standby and 15 minutes of alarm for a voice system. A diode
rectifier is a simple contraption made up of 4 diodes placed
in a specific order. This will allow you to connect an AC source on one
end yet get a DC source out of the opposite. With the use of one
simple diode, you can
accomplish this feat. Simply place the Anode (+ Solid Black) side of the
diode into the non-resettable positive 24VDC power output on the FACU /
FACP. Now place the Cathode (- Stripe) side of the diode into the
positive terminal of the backup battery charger.
How this works: Think
of a diode as a one way gate. Electrical current can flow through it in
only one direction. So this trick is actually quite simple.
The diode is providing a positive current path from the +24VDC output on
the panel FACU / FACP and into the + terminal of the battery
charger thus tricking it into believing there are backup batteries in place.
The reason for the diode is very important. You need to remember
that the battery charger puts out 24VDC as well. With that said, we need
to block that power from coming back into the +24VDC output on the FACP
/ FACU. Here is a picture to help explain this trick on how to keep an
FACP /FACU in the normal condition without backup batteries.
