Please note these current readings are with the internal battery within the alarm fully charged.
It takes 24 hours to fully charge the internal battery therefore DO NOT carry out any current draw test until this
time has elapsed.
Please also note the removal and re application of power to the alarm also starts the above charging cycle for a
full 24 hours. This is to ensure the internal battery is ALWAYS returned to peak efficiency whenever the power is
removed from the alarm. Under no circumstances remove the power from the alarm if you wish to carry out a
current draw test.
The best way to carry out the test is to connect a meter, set to around 20mA scale, to either side of the alarm
fuse, turn it on AND THEN withdraw the alarm fuse.
Please ensure no other devices which consume current with the ignition turned off are connected to this fuse
when you are carrying out the test.
Also check the fuse is not damaged within your meter prior to testing, because if it IS blown you will start the
internal battery charge cycle.

Current testing of the S4 Yellow can be done at any time because this product does not have an internal battery.
