Maintenance - Response SL5 Installation & Operating Manual

MAINTENANCE

Your Alarm System requires very little maintenance.
However, a few simple tasks will ensure its continued
reliability and operation.
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
operating and triggering an alarm.
First, place the Control Panel into Test Mode (see
page 26) and then switch the Siren into Service
Mode (see page 29).
The Siren must be switched back into Operating
Mode, otherwise the system cannot be Armed.
CONTROL PANEL
The rechargeable batteries have a typical life in
excess of 3 to 4 years and need no maintenance
56
during this period, provided they are kept charged.
The batteries will be damaged if they are stored in
a discharged state for long periods.
DETECTORS, REMOTE CONTROL
AND KEYPAD
The Detectors and Remote Control require very little
maintenance. The batteries should be replaced
once a year or when a low battery status is indicated.
DUMMY SIREN
The batteries in the siren should be replaced once
every year to ensure the siren continues to act as a
visual deterrent during both the day and night.
BATTERIES
Note: Before removing the battery cover on any
device to replace the battery ensure that the system
is switched into Test Mode to avoid triggering an alarm.
The specifications for replacement batteries are:
Remote Control:
1 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cell (or
Door / Window Detector:
2 x 3V CR2032 Lithium Cells (or
