Description
This condition (if programmed by the installer) occurs if your security
system has been accidentally unplugged or if there has been an AC
power outage. The
screen display, and trouble beeps start after 5 minutes. If AC power is
not restored within a programmed period of time (5 to 254 minutes),
the system will call the central monitoring station. The backup
battery, if fully charged, will last for 18 to 24 hours (depending on the
load applied to the panel) with no AC power.
In a UL Installation, a new, fully charged battery will last 24 hours with
the panel in normal standby condition and still sound an alarm.
