Section 3. POWERING THE SYSTEM

Primary Power Power to the Control panel is supplied by model No. 1361* Plug-in Transformer which is rated at 16.5VAC, 40VA. Caution must be taken when wiring this transformer to the panel to guard against blowing the fuse inside the transformer (non-replaceable).

* NOTE: Use 1361CN Transformer in Canadian installations.

Back-Up Power In the event of an AC power loss, the Control panel is supported by a back-up, rechargeable gel cell battery. Ademco 467 (12V, 4AH), YUASA NP4-12 (12V, 4AH) and NP7-12 (12V, 7AH) batteries are recommended. Do not use Gates batteries.

The standby battery is automatically tested every 24 hours, beginning 24 hours after exiting programming mode. In addition, entry into the test mode will cause a battery test to be initiated.

Earth Ground In order for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be Connections effective, the designated earth ground terminal must be terminated in a good earth ground. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at most

installations:

Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is recommended) firmly secured to the pipe to which the ground lead is electrically connected and secured.

AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC, power outlets only. To test the integrity of the ground terminal, use a three-wire circuit tester with neon lamp indicators, such as the UL-Listed Ideal Model 61-035, or equivalent, available at most electrical supply stores.
