AC Power and Backup Battery
General
The system is powered by a 9 Volt DC, 2.7 Amp Plug-in Power Supply, 300-04705/300-04705V1, or 300-
04065/300-04065V1 (300-04063/300-04063V1 or 300-04064/300-04064V1 in Canada). Refer to the wiring
table below for wire gauge and length. In the event of an AC power loss, the system is supported by a long
life backup battery that is supervised for connection and for low voltage conditions. If the battery is missing,
or a low battery condition is detected, a “low battery” message is displayed and a report is sent to the central
station. In addition, the system will beep once every 45 seconds to audibly indicate a low battery condition
(press any key to stop the beeping).
Use only the provided 300-04705/300-04705V1, or 300-04065/300-04065V1 (300-04063/300-04063V1 or 300-
