Power Connections and Options
Powering the Communicator
For a standard installation, primary power is provided by the AC plug-in transformer. For
ECP communication, you must also connect the +12VDC AUX voltage output of the control
panel (9.6V-13.8V typical) see below.
In all installations, TB1-4 GND must be connected to ground (GND) on the control panel.

NOTE:
Backup Battery Connection
The included battery (K14139) is used for backup in the event of power loss to the
communicator. It does not provide power to the control panel.
• The battery can provide over 24 hours of system life in the event of a power failure.
• A programmable power loss message can alert the AlarmNet Control Center when system
power is lost (power loss messages are reported within 1-3 hours of actual loss).
• The communicator transmits a low-battery message (programmable) when the battery
reaches 5.7V ±5%, indicating subsequent messages may not be transmitted.
• The system shuts down when the battery falls below 5.1V, and radio transmissions are no
longer possible.

The alternate installation shown below has not been evaluated by UL.
When calculating the total load on the auxiliary power output of the control panel, budget 10mA
for the communicator when using ECP mode.
