TESTING
12 VOLT DC - NFPA TEST

The apparatus low voltage electrical system shall be tested and certified by the manufacturer per NFPA 1901. The test
shall be performed with the air temperature between 0 degrees F and 110 degrees F.

TEST SEQUENCE

The following three (3) tests shall be performed in the order indicated below. Before each test, the batteries shall be fully
charged. A full charge condition shall be when the charge voltage stabilizes at the voltage regulator set point and the
lowest charge current is maintained for ten (10) minutes. Failure of any of these tests shall require a repeat of the
sequence.

RESERVE CAPACITY TEST

The engine shall be started and kept running until the engine and engine compartment temperatures are stabilized at
normal operating temperatures and the battery system is fully charged. The engine shall be shut off and the minimum
continuous electrical loads shall be activated for ten (10) minutes. All electrical loads shall be turned off prior to attempting
to restart the engine. The battery system shall then be capable of restarting the engine. Failure to restart the engine shall
be considered a test failure.

ALTERNATOR PERFORMANCE TESTS:
TEST AT IDLE
The minimum continuous electrical load shall be activated with the engine running at idle speed. The engine temperature
shall be stabilized at normal operating temperature. The battery system shall be tested to detect the presence of battery
discharge current. The detection of battery discharge current shall be considered a test failure.

TEST AT FULL LOAD

The total continuous electrical load shall be activated with the engine running up to the Engine Manufacturer's governed
speed. The test duration shall be a minimum of two (2) hours. Activation of the load management system shall be
permitted during the test. However, an alarm sounded by excessive battery discharge, as detected by the system required
to notify apparatus personnel of electrical system failure, or a system voltage of less that 11.7 volts DC for a 12 volt
nominal system for more that 120 seconds, shall be considered a test failur
