2 Theory of Operation 2.1 Operating States The FMPS has two operating states, Normal Operation and Battery Backup. 2.1.1 Normal Operation The FMPS supplies power to the ONT, while being powered by the AC mains outlet. It may also be charging the batteries or performing a battery test. While in the Normal Operation state, the FMPS operates in one of three sub-modes and switches between these sub-modes as necessary. The sub-modes are: 2.1.1.
2.2 Exception States While in Normal Operation or Battery Backup, there are three exception states that may occur. 2.2.1 Replace Battery The FMPS enters the Replace Battery state when the charge control circuit determines the battery is not holding a charge, or is incapable of being charged. The Replace Battery alarm initiates when the battery capacity is less than 70% of the battery capacity stated by the battery manufacturer.
3 Transportation and Storage 3.1.1 Packaging The enclosure and components are shipped on individual pallets and shrink wrapped. The pallet is approximately 0.15m H x 1.22m W x 1.52m D (6” H x 48” W x 60” D) and the overall height including pallet and enclosure is approximately 0.46m (18”). The enclosures and components cannot be stacked. Batteries may or may not be installed; if they are not, they will be on a separate pallet and packaged per the manufacturers guidelines.
4 Installation The information in this section is intended as a guideline only; there may be site-specific requirements and other factors that will require individual attention, such as jurisdictional codes and construction covenants. The FMPS can be installed by one technician during a single visit to the customer premises. The FMPS can be mounted on an internal or external customer premises wall, or it can be recessed into a newly framed wall during new construction.

Swing the bottom of the cover out and away from the unit (see Figure 4). Figure 3–Lifting the FMPS cover Figure 4–Sliding the FMPS cover out 4.4 Wall-mounting the FMPS 1. Select a suitable location for mounting the FMPS (within 8 feet of a power outlet if using the line cord: L85). 2.
4.5 Recessed/Stud-mounting the FMPS 1. Select a suitable location for mounting the FMPS. 2. After removing the cover, unscrew the battery retaining brackets. 3. Drill four 3/8” holes in the side of the enclosure using the pressed dimples in the side of the enclosure as a guide. See Figure 6. Clean any shavings from the enclosure. 4. Using a hammer and punch, knock out the DC wiring knockout on the bottom of the enclosure. See Figure 6. 5.
4.7 Safety Ground The safety ground is a two-part system. The first part is a return path for stray current back to the input breaker, and the second is a return path from the enclosure to a second ground rod. Typically, the safety, or utility ground, provides a return path to the input breaker or fuse panel by means of a connection to an appropriate driven ground rod at the base of the power pole.
4.10 AC Wiring, Permanent Connection 1. Run the AC wiring through the 1/2" EMT along the same path as the original AC line cord. 2. Connect the AC wiring as follows: • Black wire = Line • White wire = Neutral 3. Connect the ground wire (min. #14 AWG) to the safety ground stud on the chassis, and then to the AC input block. The stud uses a 7mm nut. 4. Secure the EMT connector. CAUTION! Do not apply power at this time.
4.11 DC Output And Alarm Wiring Recommended wire size: • • • DC output: 2 x #16 AWG Alarm wiring: 5 x #24 AWG Ground: #16 AWG 1. If wall-mounting the FMPS, select a knockout to the right of the DC output block and remove it using a hammer and punch. 2. Insert the terminal end of the customer-supplied DC and alarm wiring through the sealing nut of the Heyco fitting (provided), and through the selected knockout. 3.
