Plug-In Back-Up Battery
Back-Up Battery: This system includes a battery and plug-in harness for a
backup battery circuit. The included 9 volt alkaline battery is all that is required
to provide alternate power to operate the security system in the event that the
vehicle's battery is disconnected. A built-in protection circuit will not allow the
9 volt battery to feed back into the vehicle's electrical system, or to flash the
parking lights for confirmations or when the system is triggered, thereby
conserving the 9 volt battery's power. Also, the starter interrupt circuit will stay
activated to prevent the vehicle from being started and driven away.
Always make the security system's Black and Red wire connections first.
To install, insert the battery into the built-in battery compartment inside the
control unit. Snap the connector and harness onto the 9 volt battery and then
plug the connector into the system's White port marked "Battery Backup".
Replacement 9 volt alkaline batteries can be purchased anywhere batteries are
sold. We recommend the battery be replaced with another alkaline battery
every 18 months or after the 9 volt battery has operated the security system on
its own for any length of time.
Anticipated life for the back-up battery under following conditions:
1. 2 days as the system’s only power source while Armed.
2. 25 triggered cycles: A trigger cycle has a 60 second duration during which
the siren is sounding. The cycle ends when the system automatically resets
to the armed state.
3. 50 separate remote control Arm/Disarm commands.
4. 18 months if the 9 volt battery circuit has not been activated.
