Premier Elite 8XP-W & 32XP-W Installation Manual

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.

SmartKey™

The SmartKey™ battery should last in excess of five years in normal use. SmartKey™ batteries are
NOT replaceable; in the case of a SmartKey™ battery failing the device should be replaced. Please
contact your distributor to arrange a replacement.

Low Battery Warning

All devices, including SmartKey™ 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.
Premier Elite 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.
