12. Battery Backup
This alarm is powered with AC power, but also contains two
replaceable AA backup batteries. Under normal conditions,
fresh batteries will last at least one year.
In order to access the battery compartment, the wiring harness
needs to be removed. To release the wiring harness, press down
on the tab as shown in Figure 12-A.
NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low humidity or temperatures
may reduce battery life.
WARNING: THE ALARM IS SEALED AND THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
Low Battery
This alarm is equipped with a low battery monitor circuit. If the battery capacity is nearing the point
where it can no longer provide adequate power for all alarm functions, the low battery condition
will occur. See Troubleshooting Guide. The batteries must be replaced within 7 days of the first
occurrence of the “Low Battery Warning” to provide continuous alarm detection.
Replace batteries with one of the following approved brands:
Energizer E91, Gold Peak 15A or Golden Power GLR6A.
These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.
WARNING: Use only the batteries specified. Use of different
batteries may have a detrimental effect on the alarm. Do not mix old and
new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard, or rechargeable batteries.
NOTE:
Do not use lithium batteries in this unit. A good safety measure
is to replace the batteries at least once a year, or at the same time
you change your clocks for daylight saving time. Loss of AC power and a missing or improperly
installed battery will render the unit inoperable.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY CONNECT AC POWER AND INSTALL BATTERIES IN THE
CORRECT ORIENTATION WILL PREVENT PROPER OPERATION OF THIS ALARM AND WILL
PREVENT ITS RESPONSE TO FIRE HAZARDS.
