Abstract

A transient power alarm is often the result of a traffic overload placed on a communication system circuit carrier circuit. The disclosed power control arrangement recognizes such transient power alarms and outputs a special message to alert the system user to the possibility that traffic grading across carrier is unbalanced. The control arrangement also monitors the time that the system is powered solely by reserve battery and sheds its traffic load if the time that the system is operating solely on reserve battery exceeds a first threshold. Also, the system is programmed to automatically disable itself if the reserve battery time exceeds a second threshold.
