    What to do if the battery voltage is low or missing in my Cooper Notification Conference System?
    • D
      Deborah RiosAug 26, 2025
      If the battery voltage is below 20.4 VDC or the battery is missing in your Cooper Notification Conference System, first check the battery compartment for the presence of batteries and install them if they are missing. Ensure the batteries are properly wired. Check for 24VDC at the (+, -) BAT connection at TB10 on the motherboard. If the voltage is below 18.5VDC, the battery charging section of the motherboard may be inoperable, consider replacing the motherboard. If all steps are satisfied, replace the batteries.
