Power supply current normal (unset)1. Switch meter to highest AC current range
2. Disconnect either AC output lead to panel
3. Connect test probes in series with removed lead and power supply terminal
4. Record AC mA reading obtained
Power supply current in alarm 1. Generate a full alarm condition
2. Record AC mA reading obtained
3. Excessive current in this or previous test indicates a system fault. Disconnect 12VDC supply to PIRs', bells, battery etc in turn to identify fault.
Step 5
Step 6
Induced AC voltage 1. Switch multimeter to 20VAC range
2. Connect probes across any DC+ and Earth
3. Induced AC reading should not exceed 1.2V
4. To eliminate induced AC, fit an ACT1313 12V spike suppressor
Battery charging voltage 1. Switch multimeter to 20VDC
2. Connect test probes across battery
3. Reading should be between 13.5 - 14VDC (below 13V the battery will not charge, above 14.5V the battery will overcharge)
