Backup Battery Connection and Power
Supply Wiring
The backup battery connects to the Control Panel's circuit board
with a two (2)-pin header assembly.
The power supply features a two (2)-position terminal block
for connecting the power supply to the Control Panel power
terminals (connection wire not included).
Locate an unswitched wall outlet for the plug-in power
1.
supply .
WARNING: Never connect the power supply to switch-
controlled outlet .
Route two (2)-conductor wire from the power supply
2.
location to the Control Panel mounting plate. For wire size
A
and maximum length, see "Wired Size and Length", below.
Being careful to observe polarity, connect the wire to the
3.
power supply's DC+ and DC- terminals. Do NOT plug the
power supply into an outlet at this time.
Being careful to observe polarity, connect the wire to the
4.
Control Panel input terminals 14VDC (+) Terminal 1 and
14VDC (-) Terminal 2.
NOTE: Grounding of the Control Panel is NOT required for proper
operation.
Plug the backup battery pack's connector into the connector
5.
on the Control Panel's circuit board . The Control Panel does
B
not recognize that the battery is connected until AC power
is connected to the power supply .
NOTE: The standard backup battery that is included with all
2GIG Control Panels does not support UL 985 installations.
To comply with the secondary supply requirement in UL
985: Household Fire Warning System Units, install the 2GIG
Console Battery Pack (This is a high-capacity 2600mAh Ni-MH
replacement battery pack).
Wire Size and Length
To ensure proper operation, do NOT exceed the following
maximum length for the wire size installed:
Wire Size
22 AWG
20 AWG
22 AWG 2-pairs
(19 AWG equivalent)
18 AWG
TIP: To ensure that the appropriate wire size and length is
installed, measure the voltage between the power connection
terminals at the back of the Control Panel . The voltage measured
must not fall below 11 volts DC or the Control Panel may display
nuisance "AC Power Loss" messages and send AC Loss Reports
to the Central Station.
