Maintenance - Response SL2 Installation & Operating Manual

MAINTENANCE

Your Alarm System requires very little maintenance.
However, a few simple tasks will ensure its continued
reliability and operation.
IMPORTANT: If, for any reason you have to
completely power-down the system (e.g. to move
the system to new premises), first put the system
into Service Mode before removing the Siren
cover and disconnecting the main rechargeable
and initial power-up batteries. Ensure that the
solar panel is covered with a lightproof material to
prevent it being energised, otherwise the solar
panel may still power the siren.
SOLAR SIREN
1. It is recommended that the solar panel on the
top of the siren housing should be cleaned at
least twice a year, preferably in the Spring and
Autumn, using a soft damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive, solvent based or aerosol cleaners.
Do not attempt to clean inside the unit or allow
water to enter the unit.
This will ensure that the solar panel does not
become affected by the build up of excessive
dirt and receives all the available light.
2. The Siren should not be left for long periods with
the batteries connected, unless the unit is able
to receive sufficient light to maintain the battery
charge. Failure to maintain charge to the unit
will result in the rechargeable battery running
unacceptably low. Should this occur, the unit
must be recharged from a 7.5Vdc/100mA supply
(e.g. from a mains adaptor power supply). When
re-powering the Siren, fit a new 9V PP3 leak-
proof Alkaline power-up battery to ensure that
the Siren receives sufficient power until the solar
panel can recharge the main battery.
3. The main rechargeable battery has a typical life
of 3 - 4 years and needs no maintenance during
this period, provided the battery is kept charged.
The battery will be damaged if it is stored in a
discharged state for long periods.
IMPORTANT: Before removing the Siren from
the wall ensure that the Siren is first switched
into Service Mode to prevent the Tamper switch
24
operating and triggering an alarm, (see page 19).
The Siren must be switched back into Operating
Mode, otherwise the system cannot be Armed.
DETECTORS, REMOTE CONTROL
AND KEYPAD
The Detectors, Remote Control and Keypad require
very little maintenance. The batteries should be
replaced once a year or when a low battery status
is indicated.
BATTERIES
Note: Before removing the battery cover on any
device to replace the battery ensure that the Siren is
switched into Service Mode to avoid triggering an
alarm. The Siren must be switched back into
Operating Mode after fitting new batteries otherwise
the system will not operate.
The specifications for replacement batteries are
as follows:
Remote Control:
1 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cell (or equivalent)
Magnetic Door / Window Detector:
2 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cells (or equivalent)
PIR Movement Detector:
1 x 9V PP3 Alkaline Battery
Keypad:
1 x 9V PP3 Alkaline Battery
Note: Rechargeable batteries should NOT be fitted.
