Frequency
Component
Tasks
Monthly
BT-X/2-3/2-4
1. Check the Central Printer log for transceivers listed as No Reply. A BT that does not reply to a poll or command must be investigated immediately since it may not be able to report alarms.

2. Check the Central Extended Poll report for off-normal conditions. If the BT has been operating on battery power for some time, the battery is being depleted and will eventually become discharged to the point where the BT can no longer operate. If there has not been an ac power failure, a battery fault could indicate high or low charging voltage, an open fuse, or that the battery has been removed.

3. Check batter fault reports at Central. If the BT has been in an ac power failure condition, the battery must be replaced or ac power restored so the BT can continue operating. If the BT-X has not reported an ac power failure, the battery charger output may be too high or the battery may be disconnected.
