Clearing Remotes from the Console
If you suspect that a neighboring system is causing false alarms, or if you need to
reinstall remotes for any other reason, you can clear all sensors
and remotes from the
console's memory by unplugging it and removing the battery.
Note:
You will need to reprogram telephone numbers and recorded message after doing
this.
Battery Information
Battery Information
General
X10 Pendant Remotes are designed to operate for approximately two years when fitted
with a 3V lithium cell. Since operating conditions vary from installation to installation
however, it is recommended that all batteries are replaced once a year.
Console
Battery backup
The battery in the console is used as a backup when there has been a power failure.
The battery provides approx. 20 hours of backup time provided the alarm has not been
triggered.
While on battery backup, the console will continue to operate, and will sound the siren (if
enabled) and dial out if the alarm is triggered. It will not, of course, flash the house lights
or trigger Power Horn sirens. If both the AC supply and the battery fails, the console will
no longer dial out or sound the siren, and will lose its telephone numbers and recorded
message.
Battery Replacement
Batteries can be replaced at any time, even while the unit is powered up. There is no
special procedure for battery replacement.
Pendant Remote
Battery Replacement
Providing the battery has not already failed, it may be replaced with fresh batteries
without the need to reinstall the remote provided the fresh battery is fitted within 30
seconds of removing the old one. Confirm that the remote is still logged in by pressing
STOP and listening for the confirmation tone from the console. If there is no sound, the
code has been lost and you will need to install the remote again.
To replace the battery, remove the two screws and gently separate the two halves of the
cabinet. Slide out the old battery and replace with a fresh 3V Lithium Cell (CR2025).
