Maintaining Your System (cont’d)
Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad
The keypad’s warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF sequence
(code plus OFF key)
,
but the Keypad's low battery message display will remain
on as a reminder that you have a low battery condition in one or more of your
sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor will
send a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as the sensor is activated
(opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn
off. If the sensor is not activated, the display will automatically clear within
approximately 1 hour.
Routine Care
•
Treat the components of your security
system as you would any other
electrical equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows.
•
Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors,
particularly on motion sensors and smoke detectors.
•
The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth.
Do
not spray water or any other fluid on the units.
NOTE: It is important that your system is tested periodically to insure
proper protection. This includes testing the fire alarm portion of your
system. See
TESTING THE SYSTEM
and
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
sections for
the testing procedures.
