Installation and Wiring
1. Set up an account in the AlulaConnect portal.
2. Mount the BAT-Fire using the guidelines listed below
to meet UL 864, UL 1610, ULC-S559, and/or ULC-S304.
Use the mounting holes on the back plate.
3. Install the cellular antenna.
4. Power down the FACP/burg panel.
5. Wire the BAT-Fire to the FACP/burg panel. (See
wiring diagrams on the following pages.) All wiring
must be performed in accordance with NFPA 70/72 or
CSA C22.1 (Safety Standard for Electrical Installations,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, Section 32).
Note:
1/2” conduit should be used. Only one conduit
knockout is to be used for wiring. Multi-conductor wire
connections should follow best practices using pigtail or
crimp connectors.
6. For dual or sole path Ethernet, plug in the Ethernet cable.
7. Power up the system. After 1-2 minutes, verify the
Ethernet and Cellular LEDs. For Ethernet installs, the
ETHERNET LED should be on. For cellular installs, the
CELLULAR LED should be on, or displaying a short
blink sequence (dual path mode). Verify a minimum of
two signal bar LEDs are displayed. (See Operation and
Indicator Overview section for signal strength.)
8. Physical installation is complete.
9.
Press the Config button on the BAT-Fire for 2 seconds
to enable programming. Program the BAT-Fire via
AlulaConnect (see Programming section).
10.
Close the cover. Confirm POWER, TROUBLE, and COMM
LEDS are green.
11. After installing BAT-Fire, or modifying any FACP/
burg panel programming, verify proper operation and
reporting of all event codes using your FACP/burg panel
installation manual. Burglary installs must have cover
tamper enabled and must be tested yearly.

To meet UL 864, UL 1610, ULC-S559, and/or ULC-S304,
ensure the following:
• BAT-Fire must be installed in accordance with
applicable standards: UL 827, UL 681, NFPA 70/72,
ULC-S524, ULC-S561, and/or ULC-S301/302.
• BAT-Fire must be mounted in the same room as the
FACP/burg panel.
• All wiring between BAT-Fire and FACP/burg panel
is max 20 ft for UL 864 and max 18 m for ULC-S559.
These wire length guidelines must be used for both
burg and fire installations.
• Run all wiring between BAT-Fire and FACP/burg panel
through non-rigid metallic conduit (Canada) and non-
rigid conduit (US).
• All equipment used for the IP connection (such as the
router, hub, modem, etc.) shall be UL/c-UL listed, and
be provided with 24 hour standby power.
