after the depleted battery state has been detected.
If the hardware jumper for depleted battery cutout
has been clipped, the system shuts down 60
seconds after the depleted battery condition is
detected.
• An alarm continues to sound if the depleted battery
state is reached after the system is already in the
alarm state.
