EPS fault signal or message shall be generated.
After a loss of EPS, when the EPS is restored the re-connection condition shall be detected within 1 s.
When the EPS has been continuously re-connected for a minimum of 1 s and a maximum of 60 s an
EPS fault signal or message shall be removed.
4.2.2 Storage Device – Low Voltage
The voltage of the storage device shall be monitored to detect an SD low voltage condition.
For PS types A and B:
An APS Fault signal or message shall be generated according to Table 2 and within the maximum
time periods defined in Table 3, when the voltage of the SD falls below a value as specified by the
PS manufacturer.
An APS Fault signal or message shall be removed according to Table 2 and within the maximum
time periods defined in Table 3, when the voltage of the SD rises above a value specified by the
PS manufacturer.
NOTE 1 A disconnected SD is considered a special case of low voltage.
NOTE 2 For PS type A it is not necessary to monitor for storage device low voltage when the storage device is undergoing
charging.

- 13 - EN 50131-6:2008
For PS type C:
A storage device low voltage fault signal or message shall be generated within the maximum time
periods defined in Table 3, before the SD reaches a condition such that it is unable to provide its
rated output for longer than a minimum of 30 days.
A storage device low voltage fault signal or message shall be removed within 10 s according to
Table 2, when the voltage of the SD rises above the low value specified by the PS manufacturer
e.g. following replacement of the battery.
For all PS types, the PS manufacturer shall declare in his documentation the voltage of the SD that
will generate this fault signal or message.

For wirefree devices with intermittent operation e.g. wireless hold-up trigger device, it is permissible for communication of
the low voltage fault signal or message to be delayed until the first available transmission.
4.2.3 Storage Device – Failure
For PS type A, a SD failure condition shall be detected within 24 h of failure of the SD.
An APS Fault signal or message shall be generated within 10 s of detection of SD failure.
Examples of methods deemed suitable to determine a storage device failure condition are given in
Annex A.
The APS Fault signal or message shall be removed within 10 s of detection of a normal storage device
condition.
If the PS is designed to be connected to two or more storage devices in a parallel configuration in
accordance with the guidance of the SD manufacturer, they shall be monitored as separate storage
devices. An APS Fault signal or message shall be generated upon detection of failure for any one
device. The APS fault signal or message shall be removed only when all devices no longer show a
failure condition.
These tests shall only be applied when the EPS is available.
Following disconnection and reconnection of the EPS, this test may be delayed for up to 24 h to
enable recharge of the SD.
4.2.4 Low Output Voltage
For PS types A and B, Grades 3 and 4, a Power Output Fault signal or message shall be generated
within 10 s of a low output voltage occurring on one or more independent power outputs e.g. due to
failure in the power supply or intervention of an output protection device.
The Power Output Fault signal or message shall be removed within 10 s of the voltage on all
independent power outputs rising above the minimum power output voltage.
4.2.5 Power Unit failure
When the EPS is present, for PS types A and B, Grades 3 and 4, the PU shall be monitored to detect
if it can no longer provide the rated voltage to the independent power outputs from the EPS.
NOTE This includes a failure of the PU which would not normally result in a low power output voltage due to the SD operating
as the APS.
---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST EN 50131-6:2008
EN 50131-6:2008 - 14 -
When the EPS is present, for PS type A, Grades 3 and 4, the PU shall be monitored to detect if it can
no longer recharge the SD.
A Power Output Fault signal or message shall be generated within 10 s of either of these conditions
occuring.
The Power Output Fault signal or message shall be removed within 10 s of the restoration of the
normal operation of the PU.
4.2.6 Remote Test
PS type A at Grade 4 shall have means to receive a signal or message to trigger the PS internal tests
of Storage Device Failure.
The resulting test sequence shall not prevent the PS from operating in accordance with Tables 1
and 2.
The PS shall acknowledge receipt of the remote test request within 10 s of receipt of the remote test
request. If no dedicated acknowledge facility is available, the APS Fault signal or message
shall be used to communicate the remote test request acknowledgement.
When the test is initiated, the PS shall not remain in test mode for a period in excess of 60 s.
If the result of the test is a pass, the APS Fault signal or message shall be removed within 60 s of
receipt of the remote test request.
If the result of the test is a fail, the APS Fault signal or message shall remain present.
4.3 APS Capability
A PS types A and B shall be capable of continuously supplying its rated output to the I&HAS in the
event of interruption of the EPS.
The PS manufacturer shall specify the minimum and maximum storage device capacity that can be
used with the PS
The PS manufacturer shall provide sufficient information to enable calculation of the minimum time
period that the PS can continuously supply its rated output when fitted with a range of storage devices.
NOTE Where the SD is a battery, it is not necessary to take into account the differences in available capacity at differing levels
of discharge rate and a simple relationship between battery capacity (Ah), time (h) and current available (A) is acceptable.
4.4 Recharging for PS type A
When fitted with a storage device of capacity as defined by the PS manufacturer, the power supply
shall be capable of recharging the storage device to 80 % of this storage device capacity following
discharge to the minimum level in accordance wit
