Battery Information

General

Door/Window Sensors, Motion Detectors and Keychain remotes are designed to operate for approximately one year when fitted with the appropriate batteries. Since operating conditions vary from installation to installation however, it is recommended that all batteries are replaced every 6 months.

Security Console

Battery backup

The batteries in the Security Console are used as a backup when there has been a power failure. The batteries provides approximately 12 hours of backup time provided the alarm has not been triggered.

While on battery backup, the Console will continue to operate, and will sound the siren and dial out if the alarm is tripped. It will not, of course, flash the house lights (because there’s no AC power).

If both the AC supply and the batteries fail, the Console will no longer dial out or sound the siren. You will not lose its telephone numbers, recorded message, or installed sensors and remotes, but you will need to reset the clock for the correct time of day.

Battery Replacement

Batteries can be replaced at any time, even while the unit is powered up. There is no special procedure for battery replacement. Use 4 AA alkaline batteries.

Keychain Remotes

Battery Replacement

Providing the batteries have not already failed, they can be replaced with fresh batteries without the need to reregister the remote. After removing the old batteries fresh batteries must be fitted within 30 seconds to ensure that the security code is retained.

Gently pry the 2 halves of the Keychain Remote’s case apart and install two CR2016 lithium batteries in the compartment (+ facing up). Press the 2 halves of the cabinet back together.

Once the batteries have been replaced, confirm that the remote is still registered with the Console by arming the system. If it does not arm, the code has been lost and you will need to proceed as described below.

If the batteries have failed completely, the remote’s code will have been lost. The remote will need to be reinstalled following the procedure on page 12.

Battery Information

Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors

Battery Replacement

If a zone has not reported in to the Console during the last four hours, the display will show PROBLEM and the appropriate zone number when you try to arm the system. This is most likely caused by dead batteries in the Motion Detector or Door/Window Sensor for that zone.

As with the remotes, as long as the batteries have not completely failed they may be replaced with fresh batteries without the need to reinstall the Motion Detector or Door/ Window Sensor. After removing the old batteries the new batteries must be fitted within 30 seconds to ensure that the code is retained.

Testing the Door/Window Sensor

Once the batteries have been replaced, the Door/Window Sensor should be tested as follows:

•Make sure the system is NOT armed.

•Open the door or window with the sensor attached. The Console chimes to acknowledge and the zone # is displayed on the LCD.

•If you don’t hear a chime, reregister the Door/Window Sensor, as described on page 13

Testing the Motion Sensor

To test the Motion Detector:

•Make sure the system is armed.

•Press the TEST button on the back of the Motion Detector. The alarm trips. Press disarm on the Keychain Remote.

•If the alarm doesn’t trip, reregister the Motion Detector, as described on page 16.

Clearing Remotes & Sensors from the Console

If you suspect that a neighbor’s system is causing false alarms, or if you need to reinstall remotes, Door/Window Sensors, and Motion Detectors for any other reason, you can clear all sensors and remotes from the Console’s memory by following the steps on page

25.Before reregistering your remotes, Door/Window Sensors, and Motion Detectors you should reinitialize them - remove the batteries, press a button for 5 seconds then refit the batteries. Then follow the steps to reinitialize the unit (pages 12, 13, or 16 as appropriate).
