13.5 Powering up
1. Prior to powering up, the panel will have been installed in accordance with the installation
instructions, all cabling will have been fully installed and tested, glanded into the panel
enclosure but not connected to the panel terminals. The mains supply should be isolated
externally to the panel.
2. Check the battery connections are correct.
3. Remove the mains supply fuse from the panel mains terminal block. Once the permit to
energise the mains supply is in place, energise the mains and check the voltage and
polarity are correct before replacing the panel fuse.
4. The panel will power up and if all the end of line devices are correctly terminated in the
panel and the battery is OK, the panel should be silent, displaying only the Power Supply
On indication.
5. Turn the Access keyswitch to “1” and press the Test Display button. The panel should
respond by lighting all indications and sounding the buzzer. This will continue for a few
seconds after the button is released.
