Note: Do not plug in the transformer at this time
Powering up the panel
When applying power to the panel, first connect the backup battery, then plug in
the AC power transformer. This sequence prevents a battery fault condition.
Maximum battery charge current is 45 mA. It may take up to 24 hours for a new
battery to fully charge.
Backup battery
To connect the backup battery (6 VDC, 1.2 Ah), do the following:
1. Pull up on the tabs at the bottom of the battery compartment cover (Figure 3
on page 18) to lift off the cover.
2. Remove the white plastic covers on the battery terminals.
3. Connect the red battery lead to the red battery terminal (+) and the black
battery lead to the black battery terminal (-).
4. Place the battery in the battery compartment and replace the battery
compartment cover by aligning the tabs at the top of the cover first, then
snapping the bottom of the cover down.
Caution: Do not connect the battery until you are ready to power up the panel.
