Changing the batteries
Always use alkaline batteries as replacements, any other type of battery (such as heavy
duty) can cause problems with the operation of the system. Typical life of siren batteries
is two years, whilst detectors will operate for three years before batteries need changing.
Always ensure you disable the system tamper when changing batteries.
Disabling and enabling system tamper
The keypad or the keyfob remote control
accessory can be used to disable and enable the
system tamper feature. This allows batteries to be
changed in any tamper protected device without

Siren
The siren will produce a series of pips when
armed and disarmed, and an interrupted alarm
sound (if activated) if the siren batteries are near
exhaustion. Change the batteries as soon as
possible. The sound will be reset when the
batteries are changed.
• You can determine if your siren is sounding a
tamper warning or a low battery warning by
arming and disarming the system. If the siren
produces 5 pips when the system is armed and
disarmed, the batteries are low. If the siren
produces 5 pips, only when the system is
armed, the tamper switch has been disturbed.

between taking out the old batteries and
replacing with new.

changed the system tamper will become active
again. To avoid the siren sounding in alarm, ensure
