Backup Battery Connection and Power
Supply Wiring
ThebackupbatteryconnectstotheControlPanel’ scircuit
boardwithatwo(2)‐pinheaderassembly.
Thepowersupplyfeaturesatwo(2)‐positionterminalblock
forconnectingthepowersupplytotheControlPanelpower
terminals(connectionwirenotincluded).
1 Locateanunswitchedwalloutletfortheplug‐inpower
supply.
WARNING: Neverconnectthepowersupplytoswitch‐
controlledoutlet.
2 Routetwo(2)‐conductorwirefromthepowersupply
locationtotheControlPanelmountingplate.Forwire
sizeandmaximumlength,see
"WireSizeandLength"
onpage20.
3 Beingcarefultoobservepolarity,connectthewireto
thepowersupply’sDC+andDC‐terminals.DoNOTplug
thepowersupplyintoanoutletatthistime.
4 Beingcarefultoobservepolarity,connectthewireto
theControlPanelinputterminals14VDC(+)Te rminal1
and14VDC(‐)Terminal2.
NOTE: GroundingoftheControlPanelisNOTrequiredfor
properoperation.
5 Plugthebackupbatterypack’ sconnectorintothe
connectorontheControlPanel’scircuitboard.The
ControlPaneldoesnotrecognizethatthebatteryis
connecteduntilACpowerisconnectedtothepower
supply.
NOTE: Thestandardbackupbatterythatisincludedwithall
2GIGControlPanelsdoesnotsupportUL985
installations.Tocomplywiththesecondarysupply

Wire Size and Length
Toensureproperoperation,doNOTex ceedthefollowing
maximumlengthforthewiresizeinstalled:
TIP: Toensurethattheappropriatewir esizeandlengthis
installed,measurethevoltagebetweenthepower
connectionterminalsatthebackoftheControlPanel.
Thevoltagemeasuredmustnotfallbelow11volts
DC
ortheControlPanelmaydisplaynuisance“ACPower
