Wiring Battery Power
• The main battery harness connects the main system 
board to the battery set in the same cabinet.
• The system requires 24V battery backup. Use two 12V 
batteries, connected in series. The main battery harness 
connects to the .250” fast-on battery terminals, as fol-
lows:
1. Connect black wire to the negative battery terminal 
of Battery 1
2. Connect white wire from the positive battery termi-
nal of Battery 1 to the negative battery terminal of 
Battery 2.
3. Connect the red wire to the positive battery termi-
nal of Battery 2.
• Connect the main battery harness to the four-position 
header, located approximately in the center of the bot-
tom edge on the main system board. Insert the connec-
tor left-justified, with the red wire to the left.
• The EPS connects to the battery header next to the bat-
tery harness described in the previous bullet. Install the 
EPS red/black harness right-justified to the battery 
header, with the black wire to the right.
• Battery circuit is supervised, but not power-limited.
• For depleted battery cutout operation, remove jumper 
per installation instructions. Separate jumper removal 
required for main system board and EPS. System pro-
gramming option “Depleted Battery Cutout” must also 
be selected. ULC-S527 depleted battery operation 
requires jumper removal.
• For 18 Ah or larger batteries, the 4009-9801 external 
battery cabinet must be used. Mount the battery box 
within 20 feet of the control panel, in accordance with 
the mounting instruction label in the box. All intercon-
necting wiring must be enclosed in conduit.
