GETTING STARTED

1. Disconnect fire alarm batteries from fire alarm unit, keep batteries together to maintain 24V.
2. Securely mount or place NSAT in a safe location that allows test leads to easily reach the batteries. If mounting NSAT to a metallic object, hold magnets by the base when connecting.  Use caution when mounting NSAT.
3. Ensure both power and test buttons are in the ‘OFF’ position.
4. Connect test leads to NSAT in the correct polarity (red +, black -)
5. Connect test leads to batteries in the correct polarity. If the connection is incorrect, the reverse polarity light will illuminate.
6. Turn NSAT power on. Cooling fan will start and a pretest battery voltage will be displayed on the voltmeter.
7. Turn on the test button to begin the New Silent Accelerated Test Method, continue test for 5 minutes.
8. Note the endpoint battery voltage.
9. Shut test button OFF, leave power ON to allow tester to cool for 2 minutes before shutting off power.
10. Disconnect test leads from batteries FIRST and second, remove leads from NSAT.
11. Unmount NSAT by sliding magnets to the edge of the metallic surface to which it is mounted.
