5.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Emergency Battery Pack BPK-48A is an autonomous Unit containing the
following elements:
- TWO Batteries for the fire lines: 12V 1,2Ah. Lead-acid type, sealed with
gel-immobilized electrolyte.
- ONE Battery for the System supply: 12V 5,7Ah. Lead-acid type, sealed
with gel-immobilized electrolyte.
- Universal Line power supply (110 - 240Va.c 50-60Hz for the re-charge
system.
- Automatic charging circuit, supervisor and battery status manager,
controlled by a dedicated microprocessor.
- Highly impact-resistant plastic polymer case.
- Front-panel with LED indicators for the batteries charge status.
- 7-pole waterproof DIN connector to carry power to the external Units.
The Battery Pack can verify the charge status of all batteries (both System
and Lines), to provide an optimal recharge of the batteries and to signal
accurately any inconvenience detected during the charge or the test.
5.2.1 USE
The BPK-48A Emergency Battery Pack is intended to be used IN
EMERGENCY when the INTERNAL BATTERIES of both TX5000 or
RX48 Units should fail to pass the initial test or when the charge level is
considered too low to grant a reliable performance during the whole show.
The BPK-48A Emergency Battery Pack can be immediately connected to
the corresponding socket (placed OUTSIDE on the case near to the handle)
of any TX5000 or RX48 Unit. Since all connectors are placed
EXTERNALLY and the special cable supplied for the connection is
WATERPROOF (IP65), all the Units can be used with the COVERS
CLOSED AND LATCHED, thus maintaining a complete protection of the
whole system against water penetration.
BEFORE CONNECTING the BPK-48A Emergency Battery Pack to any
Unit (TX5000 or RX48), MAKE SURE THE POWER SWITCH OF THE
UNIT IS PLACED ON THE OFF/EXT position in order to AVOID
POSSIBLE CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE INTERNAL BATTERIES
AND THE POWER SUPPLIED BY THE BPK-48A.
WHEN THE BPK-48A IS CONNECTED TO AN EXTERNAL UNIT,
THE LINE CORD MUST REMAIN DIS-CONNECTED (i.e.: the
charge process IS NOT ALLOWED)
