Perform a Battery Test

The backup battery is located on the rear of the ZeroWire behind a cover. It provides
temporary power to the ZeroWire when mains power is not available. This may occur
during a power outage or an intruder cutting power to a property.
The ZeroWire will automatically test the battery each day. If the battery fails then your
system can no longer protect your property in a power outage. This is why replacing it
when needed is very important.
The battery is a consumable part of the system and should be replaced every 3 years or
when the battery test fails (whichever is sooner). Contact your service provider for
replacement parts.
A low battery or mains fail status message may take up to 5 minutes to clear after a mains
power fail event.

Perform a Communicator Test

The communicator is a part of the ZeroWire responsible for sending alarm messages. The
communicator test is only available if your security system has been set up to report to a
central monitoring station. Proper operation of this is very important for alarm reporting.
When testing your communicator, no sirens will sound and a test message will be sent to
the central monitoring station.
