Changing the batteries
Door/Window Contact Battery Change
When the battery is low the LED will light up when
the door/window is opened. The battery is changed
as follows:
1.
Switch off tamper protection as described on page
9, Table 1.
2.
Loosen the case screw and remove the Door/
Window Contact from the base to reveal battery.
3.
Using a screwdriver gently lever out the old
battery.
4.
Insert new CR2032 coin cell battery with the
+ side uppermost. See picture on page 12.
5.
Press battery into holder firmly with finger and
thumb until a click is heard.
6.
Refit sensor on base and tighten bottom case
screw. Switch tamper protection back on as
described on page 9, Table 1.
• Door/Window Contact case tamper conditions
are also indicated by a lit LED, check the tamper
before changing the battery.
PIR Motion Detector Battery Change
When the battery is low the LED will flash when any
motion is detected. The batteries are changed as
follows:
1.
Switch off tamper protection as described on page
9, Table 1.
2.
Loosen the case screw and remove PIR from base
to reveal the batteries.
3.
Insert 3 x AAA alkaline batteries observing correct
polarity.
4.
Refit PIR on base and tighten bottom case screw.
• Ensure tamper spring is fully depressed when
re-fitting the PIR to the back case. If this has not
been done correctly this will be indicated by a
flashing LED on the PIR.
Siren Battery Change
When the batteries start getting low the Siren will
produce a series of audible pips and flashes during
arming and disarming.
1.
Switch off tamper protection as described on page
9, Table 1.
2.
Remove the Siren lid and switch the Siren power
switch to OFF.
3.
Unscrew the four screws on the battery
compartment lid and remove the cover.
4.
Remove the four batteries, wait for 30 seconds,
and replace them with four fresh alkaline “D”
batteries.
5.
Switch on Siren power and check that the Siren
beeps and flashes.
Warning: After the batteries have been
inserted, the tamper will become active after
three hours. Please replace the cover back
onto the Siren quickly.
Tamper protection will automatically be
re-enabled when the 3 hour period has
passed.
• Siren case tamper conditions are also signalled
by a series of beeps when the system is armed
but not when the system is disarmed (low battery
warning produces a series of audible pips when
armed and disarmed), take care not to confuse the
two different conditions.
Always use correct type of batteries as replacements because any other battery can cause problems
with the operation of the system. Ensure the correct steps are taken when changing batteries in tamper
protected devices.
