Replacing the WP8360 backup battery
The control panel battery is rechargeable. If a CPU LOW BATTERY trouble message is received
when the control panel is connected to AC power, and this trouble state continues for more than

further assistance. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself. Only an original manufacturer
battery must be used.

Replacing batteries in wireless devices

The wireless devices supplied with your system are powered by batteries that last several years in
normal use. However, when a battery becomes weak, the device sends a low battery message to
the control panel, and a low battery trouble message is displayed along with the zone information.
The respective manuals of these sensors or devices should be consulted for proper battery
replacement guidelines to be performed by the installer.
Note: When the low battery message is received, the battery should be replaced within 7
days.
Acknowledging keyfob low battery
Some regulations and institutions require the user to acknowledge when the keyfob enters a low
battery condition. In such cases the installer will program the system to operate as follows: If you
try to disarm the system with a key-fob whose battery voltage is low, a protest beep will be heard
for 15 seconds. During this period press the keyfob disarm button again to disarm the system.
If you perform this action during the 15-second period, a Low Bat acknowledge message will be
stored in the event log. If the disarm button is not pressed again during the 15 seconds period you
will not be able to re-arm the system unless you perform either one of the following actions:
Press away twice to arm the system.
Press away and then press disarm button.
Performing either of these two actions stores the acknowledge message in the event log.
