OPERATION
Normal Mode – A.C. power is present. The I-160-AC-L is in the standby charging mode. The Charge Indicator will be lit providing a
visual indication that the battery is being charged.
Emergency Mode – The A.C. power fails. The I-160-AC-L senses the A.C. power failure and automatically switches to the Emergen-
cy Mode. One or two lamps are illuminated, at reduced output, for a minimum of 90 minutes. When the A.C. power is restored, the
I-160-AC-L switches the system back to the Normal Mode and resumes battery charging. See page 1 of the Instruction manual.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
Initial Testing – Allow the unit to charge approximately 1 hour, then conduct a short discharge test. Allow a 24 hour charge before
conducting a one hour test.
The
I-160-AC-L is a maintenance free unit, however, periodic inspection and testing is required. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, out-
lines the following schedule:
Monthly – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a 30 second discharge test by depressing the Test Switch.
One lamp or two lamps should operate at full or reduced output, depending on your configuration.
Annually – Insure that the Charge Indicator light is illuminated. Conduct a full 1

hour discharge test. The unit should operate as
intended for the duration of the test.
“Written records of testing shall be kept by the owner for inspection by the authority having jurisdiction.”
SERVICING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
