contact you if they want to add a phone or other device so that
you can rewire for full line seizure by adding an RJ31X.
Wiring the power transformer
Connect the power transformer to the two 9 VAC in terminals (4
and 5) on the panel. Do not plug in the transformer at this time.
When applying power to the panel, connect the battery first, and
then plug in the AC power transformer. This sequence prevents a
battery fault condition.
Note: System can only be powered up using AC power, not battery
power. The red battery icon may appear when the system first
powers up and will disappear after some time.
To remove and install the backup battery (6 VDC, 2.1 Ah):
Note: It is recommended that the backup battery be replaced
every 3-5 years.
1.
Remove AC power from the panel.
2.
Disconnect the existing battery from the battery connector.
3.
Remove the existing battery by reaching under the battery
with a finger and pulling up.
Note: Do not try to push the plastic latch back to remove the
battery.
4.
Insert the new battery into the battery compartment and
snap into place.
5.
Plug the battery connector into the panel.
Caution:
Do not connect the battery until you are ready to power
up the panel.
Resetting memory to factory defaults
If you need to reset memory to factory defaults, follow the steps
below.
To reset the panel to factory defaults:
1.
Remove the trim ring.
2.
Open the panel chassis.
3.
Unplug the transformer and disconnect the battery.
4.
Press and hold the reset button (D in Figure 1 on page 2) on
the left side of the panel.
5.
Plug in the transformer to the panel while holding the reset
button and keeping the panel cover open.
6.
Release the button.
7.
Plug in the battery and close the panel chassis.
8.
Replace the trim ring.

Applying AC power
Make sure the outlet is not controlled by a switch or that it is not
part of a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI).
Note: For Canadian installations, plug the transformer into the
wall outlet.
1.
Remove the center screw from the outlet cover plate and
hold the cover plate in place.
WARNING:
Use extreme caution when securing the
transformer to a metal outlet cover. You could receive a
serious shock if a metal outlet cover drops down onto the
prongs of the plug.
2.
Plug the transformer into the lower receptacle of the outlet so
that the hole in the transformer tab lines up with the outlet
cover screw hole.
3.
Insert the cover plate screw through the transformer tab and
the outlet cover plate. Tighten the screw.
Note: Upon initial installation, the battery may not be fully
charged for as long as 36 hours. A low battery icon will be
present and trouble beeps will sound until the battery is
sufficiently charged. After the initial charge, should the panel
lose AC Power and experience a low battery condition, the
icon will appear and trouble beeps will sound unless silenced.
You can silence trouble beeps by:
•
Arming or disarming the system.
or
•
Pressing the STATUS & SETTINGS icon and pressing
LISTEN next to Panel Status.
This will disable the sounder for 4 hours but the trouble
indication will remain until the battery is recharged.
Programming
The control panel provides the main processing unit for all system
functions. The programming of system options and features is
menu-driven.
Table 2 below describes the panel's programming keys and
features.
