TURNING THE 1400 ON
Plug the unit’s transformer into a 120VAC 60Hz outlet. Toggle the
power switch on to start the unit. The System-On LED should glow
steadily and the unit will say “Hello.” The unit will not turn on if
AC power is not present, regardless of the state of the battery.
Note that when the unit is turned off, all programming is retained in
non-volatile memory.
Backup Battery
The Sensaphone 1400 includes a 6V 1.3AH sealed lead-acid gel-
cell rechargeable battery for system back-up in the event of a power
failure.Thebatterywillprovideapproximately24hoursofbackup
time. Actual backup time will depend upon the temperature, battery
age, dialing activity, and state of the relay output. The battery is
located behind the main panel.
The 1400 will automatically charge the battery whenever the
power switch is turned on and the power transformer is plugged
in. The battery should provide 3–5 years of service, depending
on temperature and charge/discharge cycles, before needing
replacement.SeeAppendixBforbatteryreplacementinstructions.
The 1400 also includes a 3V lithium battery to retain the date and
time when main power is off. The lithium battery should provide
8-10 years of service life.

personnel only.
