Chapter 8 Standby batteries
The ABUS wireless alarm system has 6 standby batteries. These supply electricity in
the event of a power failure.
You can use the following batteries:
Non-rechargeable batteries: Size AA, 1.5 VDC alkaline
Rechargeable batteries: Size AA, 1.2 VDC cells
NOTE:
The batteries supplied by the manufacturer are rechargeable batteries with min.
800mAh.
When the batteries are low and have to be recharged or replaced, the following
message is played:
“Low Battery. Trouble”
In this case, note the following:
For non-rechargeable batteries:
1. Remove the battery casing from the rear of the system.
2. Replace all batteries. Use only batteries of the same type. Check the battery polarity
– it must be as shown on the housing.
3. Fix the battery casing to its location. The message “ Low Battery. Trouble”
should disappear within 15 minutes.
NOTE:
It is possible that the battery casing is locked with a screw.
For rechargeable batteries:
1. After replacing rechargeable batteries, recharge them for at least 24 hours.
2. When changing batteries, follow the instructions under “Changing non-rechargeable
batteries”.
IMPORTANT:
1. When replacing batteries, make sure you use the same type. If you do not
observe this rule, considerable damage may result for you and/or the system.
2. Exchanging rechargeable batteries for non-rechargeable batteries (or vice
versa) can also cause damage. If you want to do this, you first have to re-plug
the battery jumper. For further details, see the installation instructions.
3. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
