Battery Considerations
Battery life for all devices will be determined by system complexity, the number of devices that hop,
and the use of the Always Awake mode.
In a typical system, battery life should be up to 4 years for devices, hopping devices should achieve
between 2-3 years.
Always Awake. Mode should NOT be used for devices which are subject to multiple activations.
Batteries should only be replaced with an equivalent of those supplied with the devices. Please see
the device instructions for details of the correct battery required.
Premier SmartKey™
The Premier SmartKey™ battery should last in excess of five years in normal use. Premier
SmartKey™ batteries are NOT replaceable; in the case of a Premier SmartKey™ battery failing the
device should be replaced. Please contact your distributor to arrange a replacement.
Low Battery Warning
All devices, including Premier SmartKey’s™ will transmit a Low Battery Warning when there are
three months remaining.
Battery Maintenance
The system should be checked for low battery warnings at each service interval or a minimum of 12
months whichever is sooner.
8XP-W & 32XP-W Power Loss
If the power to the receiver is lost for more than one hour, all devices on the system will enter an
“Offline” mode to preserve battery life.
When power is replied to the receiver it can take up to two hours for all devices to be recognised by
the system.
To resolve this issue quickly each device on the system should be tampered to force communication
with the receiver.
The same principles apply to the learning & placing of devices, and as such tampering should start
with the device closest to the receiver and working outwards, allowing for the mesh network to be re-
established.
