Changing the Batteries
Low Battery Indication
The app will display the low battery message under
the actual device.
When a device first shows the low battery signal it
has enough battery capacity to operate for a further
month before complete exhaustion.
Siren Battery Change
When the batteries start getting low the siren will
produce a series of pips and flashes during arming
and disarming.
1
Select “Controller”, Device List”, click siren’s
properties (icon on the right) and set siren tamper
to the OFF position.
2
Remove the siren lid and switch the siren power
switch to OFF.
3
Unscrew the four screws on the battery
compartment lid and remove the cover.
4
Remove the four batteries, wait for 30 seconds,
and replace them with four fresh alkaline “D” cells.
5
Switch on siren power and check that the siren
beeps and flashes.
Warning:
After the batteries have been inserted, the
tamper will become active after three hours. Please
replace the cover back onto the siren quickly.
• Siren case tamper conditions are also signalled
by a series of beeps when the system is armed
but not when the system is disarmed (low battery
warning produces a series of pips when armed
and disarmed), take care not to confuse the two
different conditions.
Always use correct type of batteries as replacements because any other battery can cause
problems with the operation of the system. Typical life of batteries is two years or more.
Ensure the correct steps are taken when changing batteries in tamper protected devices.
PIR & PIR Camera Battery Change
When the battery is low the LED will flash when any
movement is detected. The batteries are changed as
follows:
1
Ensure the system is disarmed.
2
Loosen the case screw and remove PIR sensor
from base to reveal the batteries.
3
Insert new batteries (Note: PIR camera requires
1.5V AA Alkaline batteries) observing correct
polarity. The PIR LED will flash for 30 seconds
while initialising.
4
Refit sensor on base and tighten bottom case
screw. Switch tamper protection back on.
• PIR case tamper conditions are also indicated by
a flashing LED, check the tamper before changing
the batteries.
Door/Window Sensor Battery Change
When the battery is low the LED will light up when
the door/window is opened. The battery is changed
as follows:
1
Ensure the system is disarmed.
2
Loosen the case screw and remove door/window
sensor from base to reveal battery.
3
Using a screwdriver gently lever out the old
battery.
4
Insert new CR2032 coin cell with the + side
uppermost.
5
Press battery into holder firmly with finger and
thumb until a click is heard.
6
Refit sensor on base and tighten bottom case
screw. Switch tamper protection back on.
• Door/window sensor case tamper conditions
are also indicated by a lit LED, check the tamper
before changing the battery.
