Activation of the load management system is permitted during this test. However, if an alarm sounds due to excessive battery discharge, as detected by the system requirements in the NFPA standards, or a system voltage of less than 11.7 volts dc for more than 120 seconds is present, the test has failed.

20.4. Low voltage alarm test:

Following the completion of the above tests, the engine will be shut off. The total continuous electrical load must be activated and must continue to be applied until the excessive battery discharge alarm activates. The battery voltage must be measured at the battery terminals. With the load still applied, a reading of less than 11.7 volts dc for a 12-volt system will be considered a test failure. The battery system must be able to restart the engine. Failure to restart the engine will be considered a test failure.

21. NFPA REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION Y___N___
