Battery Information

General

X10 Door/Window Sensors, Motion Detectors and Security and Keychain remotes are designed to operate for approximately two years when fitted with alkaline batteries. Since operating conditions vary from installation to installation however, it is recom- mended that all batteries are replaced once a year.

Security Console

Battery backup

The battery in the Security Console is used as a backup when there has been a power failure. The battery provides approx. 20 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 triggered. It will not, of course, flash the house lights or trigger Power Horn sirens.

If both the AC supply and the battery fails, the console will no longer dial out or sound the siren, and will lose its telephone numbers and recorded message.

Battery Replacement

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

Handheld and Keychain Remotes

Battery Replacement

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

Once the batteries have been replaced, confirm that the remote is still logged in 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 security code will have been lost. To ensure proper system integrity it is recommended that the console is cleared and all sensors and remotes reinstalled following the procedures in the Installation chapter.

Battery Information

Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors

Battery Replacement

If any if the Console's zone indicators flash slowly, the Motion Detector or Door/Window Sensor for that zone has not reported in during the last four hours. This is most likely caused by a dead battery.

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 sensor. After removing the old batteries fresh batteries must be fitted within 30 seconds to ensure that the security code is retained.

Testing the Door/Window Sensor

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

•Set the slide switch on the Security Console to RUN2.

•Open the door or window with the sensor attached. The console chimes to acknowledge and the zone LED lights.

Testing the Motion Sensor

To test the Motion Detector:

•Set the slide switch on the Security Console to RUN2.

•Press the TEST button on the back of the Motion Detector. The console chimes to acknowledge.

Clearing Remotes & Sensors from the Console

If you suspect that a neighboring 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 unplugging it and removing the battery.

Note: You will need to reprogram telephone numbers and recorded message after doing this.
