Step 5: Connecting the Backup Battery and Mounting
the Main Panel
Connecting the Backup Battery
The main panel backup battery is not supplied with the system. Inside the main
panel box/enclosure, install a rechargeable battery, up to 21 Ah, 12 V.
WARNINGS:
To avoid damaging system components, do not connect the backup battery
until all installation tasks are completed, and the system is ready for initial
power-up.
The backup battery must be replaced about every 3—5 years.
There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries per applicable law and regulation.
Battery charging takes at least 24 hours before it can be fully used for backup
To connect the main panel’s backup battery:
1. First ensure that DIP switches and jumpers have been set appropriately so that
you can program the system parameters (see Setting Main Panel DIP Switches and
Jumpers, page 11).
a. At SW1 on the main panel PCB, set DIP switch 2 to ON. This allows
language selection at first-time system power-up.
b. To bypass unused box and bell tampers (to prevent tamper alarms), at SW1
set box tamper and bell tamper DIP switches (4 and 5 respectively) to ON.
c. You can configure battery discharge protection with the Non Protect
jumper (see the ProSYS Plus Installation and Programming Manual).
2. Now connect the leads of the battery cable to the respective (+) and (–) terminals
on the backup battery with correct polarity. Then insert the battery in place in
the main panel housing (see box/enclosure instructions) and attach the cable to
the battery connector on the panel PCB (Main Panel Wiring Diagram, page 10).
Mounting the Main Panel
To mount the main panel:
1. Close up the box/enclosure and then mount it to the wall. See instructions
packaged with the box/enclosure, the ProSYS Plus Installation and Programming
Manual, as well as Step 1: Creating a Plan for Mounting the System, page 8.
2. You are now ready for powering-up the system and system initialization tasks.
