Trouble Messages

NO AC POWER INDICATION

1. The power light will flash.
2. The system is currently working on the back up battery because the
electrical source to the system has been interrupted.
3. If you have a power outage, the system will work on back up battery for
four to six hours. When power is restored, the system will automatically
switch back to the electrical source. The battery will recharge within 24
hours.
4. If you have power to your home, check the transformer to verify it is still
plugged into the electrical source.
(See page 3 item 6 for description of transformer.)
5. If the transformer is plugged in, check your electrical breaker box to
confirm that all the breakers are in the ON position. If you have fuses,
check the fuse panel to see if any have blown.
6. If the breakers are all in the ON position, unplug the transformer. (May
require removing the retainer screw from the outlet cover.) Plug in a
small appliance to determine if the electrical outlet is working properly.
7. If the outlet is not working, call your electrician to repair it. You may
power the system from a working outlet by plugging the transformer
into an extension cord that is plugged into the working outlet. When
the faulty outlet is repaired, plug the transformer back into the outlet.
8. If the outlet is working, call Brink's Customer Service a1-800-445-0872
for assistance. Customer Service is available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
