Condition Status LED Status Connector Description
Normal
Green solid
Red off
Pins 4, 5, 6, 7 are
pulled down to Pin 3.
All conditions normal. AC powers load, charges battery. Battery
is connected and in good condition.
AC Fail
Green
blinking
Pin 4 is in open
collector state
The FlexPoint AX system sets an alarm during an AC line
outage or brownout and if the AC supply voltage is insuffi cient
to maintain battery charge. In order to prevent nuisance alarms
and consequent service disruptions, the FlexPoint AX system
monitors the battery status and sets the alarm when the battery is
discharging. Depending on load conditions, this may take a few
minutes. Conversely, the alarm is cleared when the battery again
receives consistent charge. Please note that this algorithm will also
indicate an alarm when AC is present, but the system is overloaded
to the point where the battery is required to supplement the power
supply to satisfy the load current requirement. If an AC fail alarm is
indicated despite a solid AC line voltage, check if the load is within
specifi cation and if the lead lengths and wire sizes are per the table
in the installation instructions.
Replace Battery Red solid
Pin 5 is in open
collector state
The unit will automatically initiate battery test approx. 30 days after
last signifi cant battery discharge (>10% of full energy charge). The
test lasts <30 mins. System notifi es for battery replacement if
voltage changes excessively during test.
Battery Missing Red blinking
Pin 6 is in open
collector state.
Approx. 20 secs after battery removal, system detects for battery,
and repeats every 20 secs, to verify battery disconnection. After 5
seconds, system initiates Battery Missing alarm and maintains this
state until a valid battery (open circuit voltage >12.3V) is
reconnected to the system.
Battery Low Red blinking
Pin 7 is in open
collector state
If battery voltage <11V ±100mV >5 secs, system initiates Battery
Low alarm.
Overload
Green-Red
blinking
This system is in overload, >120% of rated load.

5.2 Activating the Home Converter
1. Plug the Home Converter into the AC outlet.
2. Check the LEDs on the Battery Module or NID/NIU/ONT to ensure the Home
Converter and cable are correctly installed. If the Battery Module or NID/NIU/ONT is
not receiving power, check the wire connections and/or replace the Home Converter.
