5. Connect battery cables to the new battery and install. Position battery under the speaker edge.
6. Replace battery cover and tighten cover screw and speaker screws.
7. Replace the panel cover.
8. On the panel's back, set the Power switch to ON.
Note
After powering the panel, the Status light flashes and the panel may announce "System low battery."
The battery may take several hours to fully charge.

Sensor Low Battery

If the panel receives a low battery message from a sensor, the following events occur:
The panel immediately sends a Sensor Low Battery Report to the central monitoring station
and pager and again at the supervisory time.
The Status light turns on.
Trouble beeps sound.
Note
If the Status button is pressed during a sensor low battery condition, the panel announces "Sensor X.
Low battery" and system trouble beeps stop sounding for four hours. When the sensor low battery con-
dition is restored, the Status light turns off and trouble beeps stop sounding.

Sensor Supervisory Failure

If the panel fails to communicate with a sensor during an RF timeout, the following events occur:
The panel sends a Sensor Supervisory Failure Report to the central monitoring station.
The Status light turns on.
Trouble beeps sound.
Note
If the Status button is pressed during a sensor supervisory failure, the panel announces "Sensor X fail-
ure" and system trouble beeps stop sounding for four hours. When the sensor supervisory condition is
restored, the Status light turns off and trouble beeps stop sounding.

Repeater

A repeater module is used to relay signals from a sensor to the panel when shielded areas or long
distances prevent effective communications. The repeater operates on AC power and can incor-
porate an optional backup battery. If the repeater is without AC power for more than 15 minutes,
an AC Power Failure Report is sent from the repeater to the panel.
If a sensor experiences a problem, a Sensor Trouble Report is relayed by the repeater to the panel;
the signal is then sent to the central monitoring station and/or pager.
Note
If Status is pressed during a repeater sensor failure, the panel announces "Repeater Sensor X warn-
ing." When the condition is restored, the Status light turns off and trouble beeps stop sounding.
