Testing and Maintenance
Replacing
PIRT
Batteries
Batteries should be replaced whenever they are low. Test the PIRT weekly
to be sure it is working properly (see page 32 for procedures used to test
PIRT
battery power and operation).
To Replace Batteries:
1
Put your system in the DEMONSTRATION mode. (Set the system to Off,
then press and hold TestDemo in the Central Controller for 3 seconds.)
2
Use a coin to press down on the
PIRT
release tab (located in a slot at the
top of the backplate). Pull the top of the backplate away from the trans-
mitter body to release it.
NOTE:
This
will set off an alarm, but since the system is in the
DEMONSTRATION
mode, it is only a test alarm. It will sound at a lower
volume and will not activate your telephone dialer or any external sirens.
Cancel the test alarm if you wish.
Remove the
PIRT
housing by pulling it up and away from the bottom of
the baseplate.
Remove the batteries and discard them.
Replace the batteries with new 9-volt batteries (Duracell MN1 604, or
Eveready 522). Attach the battery leads and set the batteries into the
transmitter body.
Re-attach the
PIRT
housing to the backplate.
Test the
PIRT
to be sure it operates properly (see page 32).
Take your system out of the DEMONSTRATION mode by pressing
Test/Demo on the Central Controller. The system will automatically return
to normal operation if no activity occurs within 10 minutes while in the
DEMONSTRATION mode.
