The back-up battery will provide about 3–5 years of service life depending on
usage and temperature. After 5 years (or when backup time is insufficient)
the battery should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be ordered from
Sensaphone. To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:
1. Disconnect the red battery wire and cover the bare wire with insulating elec-
trical tape.
2. Disconnect the black battery wire and cover the bare wire with insulating
electrical tape.
3. Unplug the power transformer.
4. Loosen the compression wiring connectors and allow 6-10” of cable slack to
come into the enclosure. This will make it easier to turn the panel over.
5. Remove the four screws securing the Cell682 housing to the back panel and
carefully remove the Cell682.
6. Remove the connectors from the battery by carefully pulling and wiggling
the connectors from the battery tabs.
7. Remove the screws holding the battery bracket and remove the bracket.
8. Dispose of/recycle the old battery following local recycling regulations for
lead batteries.
9. Insert the new replacement battery into the slot and replace the bracket.
Secure the bracket with the two screws.
10. Attach the battery connector at the end of the BLACK wire to the -(nega-
tive) terminal of the new battery.
11. Attach the battery connector at the end of the RED wire to the +(positive)
terminal of the new battery.
12. Place the Cell682 over the four metal stand-offs and re-attach the four
screws.
13. Readjust the cables through the compression connectors and secure the fit-
tings.
14. Plug the power transformer into the outlet.
15. Connect the Black battery wire to the “BAT -” terminal.
