User's Manual

In the event of AC adaptor being disconnected from the
Control Panel, the Control Panel by consuming the DC
rechargeable battery can sustain 2 days of normal
operation (under standby mode) . However, the battery
for that device should be replaced as soon as possible.
Note: Before removing the battery cover on any device
to replace the battery ensure that the system is put into
Test mode to avoid initiating a Full Alarm condition.
The low battery indication for each system component
is as follows:
Control Panel
During a period of mains supply interruption the Control
Panel will be powered by the rechargeable backup
batteries. Under normal battery conditions the Power
LED on the panel will flash at 1s intervals. However,
under low battery conditions the Power LED will flash at
3s intervals.
Remote Control
When the Remote Control is operated under low
battery conditions the transmit LED will continue to
flash after the button has been released.
Under normal battery conditions the LED will extinguish
when the button is released.
PIR Detectors
Under low battery conditions the LED behind the
detector lens will flash when movement is detected to
indicate that the battery needs to be replaced.
Under normal battery conditions the LED does not
illuminate unless the PIR detector is in Walk Test mode.
Magnetic Contact Detectors
Under low battery conditions, when the Detector is
activated the transmit LED will be illuminated for
approximately 1s as the door/window is opened.
Under normal battery conditions the LED will not
illuminate as the Detector is operated, (unless the
Detector is in Test Mode with the battery cover
removed).

MAINTENANCE
Your Alarm System requires very little maintenance.
However, a few simple tasks will ensure its continued
reliability and operation.
CONTROL PANEL
The rechargeable batteries have a typical life of 3-4
years and need no maintenance during this period,
provided they are kept charged. The batteries will be
damaged if they are stored in a discharged state for
long periods.
DETECTORS AND REMOTE CONTROL
The Detectors require very little maintenance. The
batteries should be replaced once a year or when a low
battery status is indicated.
IMPORTANT: Should you, for any reason, have to
completely power-down the system (e.g. to move the
system to a new premises) first put the system into Test
mode before removing the Control Panel cover and
disconnecting the power supply and backup batteries.
BATTERIES
Before removing the battery cover on any device to
replace the battery, ensure that the system is put into
Test mode to avoid initiating an Alarm.
The specifications for replacement batteries are as
follows:
Remote Controls 1 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cells
(or equivalent)
Magnetic Contact
Detectors
2 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cells
(or equivalent)
PIR Detectors 1 x 9V PP3 Alkaline
Note: Where applicable only fit PP3 Alkaline type
batteries. Rechargeable batteries should NOT be
fitted.
At the end of their useful life the batteries should be
disposed of via a suitable Recycling Centre. Do not
dispose of with your normal household waste. DO
NOT BURN.
The Rechargeable batteries contain Sulphuric Acid –
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE CASING.
