About Final Power-up
In previous sections, you made temporary power connections for the purpose of programming
and testing. This section provides information about final power-up procedures and battery
size calculations.
Earth Ground Connections
The designated earth ground terminal (21) must be terminated in a good earth ground for
the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be effective. See Section 2:
INSTALLING THE CONTROL.

Mains Powering

1. Plug the mains plugpack into a 24-hour, uninterrupted 230VAC outlet.
2. Following power-up, "AC," "dI" (disabled), or "BUSY–STANDBY" (on alpha keypads);
or "NOT READY" (on fixed-word keypads) will be displayed. Also the green "READY"
LED on the keypad(s) should light.
After approximately 1 minute, the initial displays will revert to "DISARMED...READY
TO ARM" on alpha keypads, or "READY" on fixed-word keypads (if there are no faulted
zones). This 1-minute delay allows PIRs, etc. to stabilise.
To bypass this delay, press: [#] + 0.
NOTE: If the "READY" displays described above do not appear, make sure that there

Connecting the Backup Battery

In the event of a mains power loss, the control panel is supported by a backup, rechargeable
gel cell battery. The minimum battery size recommended is a 12V, 6.5AH battery. See
"Calculating the Battery Size Needed" below. The battery is installed in the control cabinet.
The control automatically checks the standby battery connection every 3 minutes. In
addition, entry into the Test mode will cause a battery test to be initiated. If there is no
battery or a low battery, the keypad displays a "LOW BATTERY" message, and, if so
programmed, the system will report the condition to the central station.
Calculating the Battery Size Needed
Determine the total device current drain after filling in the "Auxiliary Device Current Drain
Worksheet" on the next page. To this figure add the 100mA that is used by the control panel
itself. Then, to determine the battery size needed, use the following formula:
Total Current Drain* x Number of hours standby wanted = Battery Ampere/Hours.
* Convert mA figure to decimal Amps (see example).
are no faulted zones (doors or windows open, PIRs activated, etc). If necessary,
refer to "Trouble Conditions" in Section 15: SYSTEM OPERATION, and also to
Section 16: TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.
