2. If all indicators flash twice the system has been quiet.
3. If any indicator flashes 5 times, the corresponding sensor has been active.
4. A random flashing of indicators followed by 5 flashes for sensor(s) means that the system has had to
reset (i.e. disarm itself) due to the siren being active for 20 minutes.
4.22.12 Testing
A time limit of 2 minutes is imposed when in the test modes described. After this time the system will
return to standby. This is to preserve battery power.
4.22.13 Checking Battery Life & Charging
Battery Life (between recharges) is eight months maximum. NEVER allow the batteries to completely
discharge. Regular battery life checks are strongly recommended.
1. Press “F”, press “4”.
2. A number of pulses will be heard; 1 pulse = 1 month, 3 pulses = 3 months etc up to a maximum of 8
pulses. If however a random flashing of indicators occurs, this indicates that the battery is in need of
immediate charging.
3. If the battery is low, connect the battery charger via the socket on the main control box. This is
usually located under one of the bed lockers. On the IDM3 version of the system, there is also a
charging socket on the keypad.
4. Battery charging should be complete within 24 hours (for a fully discharged battery).
5. If your charger has an indicator light then this will extinguish when charging is complete. Refer to the
charger label for instructions on its use.
▲
Avoid charging battery while the system is armed.
▲
Reading the battery systus whilst charging the battery will give a false indication of battery
life, please wait 15 minutes after charging battery before taking a reading.
4.22.14 Replacing the Battery
The IDM alarm uses a re-chargeable lead acid battery, which should last for many years if charged
regularly. Should the battery need replacement then use the following procedure.
1. Remove the four screws from the end section of the control box (where wires exit).
2. Tap the box and the battery module should slide free (if not then gently prise with a flat blade
screwdriver).
3. Remove the battery from the mounting plate (it is fixed with an adhesive pad).
4. Remove the ve and black -ve cables and attach to the new battery, take care to re-connect
with the correct polarity.
5. Fix the new battery to the mounting plate with a new adhesive pad.
6. Slide the module back into position and re-fix the four screws.

Note that the system will now have reset to the manufacturer settings. Please re-
programme your entry code and extry/exit delays as described in the relevant section of
the handbook.
