Making the Battery Connections
1. Use the battery standby formula (above) to select the appropriate battery
for the installation.
Do not connect the battery until all devices have been wired to the control.
2. Attach the Red and Black wires on the battery connector cable as follows:
a) Red to the positive (+) battery tab on the control board.
b) Black to the negative (Ð) battery tab on the control board.
See the SUMMARY OF CONNECTIONS diagram for location of the (+)
and (Ð) battery tabs on the control board.
3. Attach the Red and Black wires at the other end of the battery connector
cable as follows:
a) Red to the positive (+) terminal on the battery.
b) Black to the negative (Ð) terminal on the battery.
Battery Tests: The battery is periodically tested automatically
(approximately every four hours), and if it cannot sustain a
load, a low battery message is displayed and, if so
programmed, will be reported to the central station.
In addition, the connection to the battery is checked every
3 minutes (CSFM requirement). If there is no battery
detected, or a low battery condition detected, a low battery
message is displayed and a report is sent to the central
station.
