Arming and Disarming
If you have CCUBOSS and the computer equip-
ment to run it, you have the ability to set a user’s
Level of Protection from your CCUBOSS com-
puter. This is prohibited for any UL listed sys-
tems. Refer to the CCUBOSS manual to use this
ability for non-UL systems.

CCU Low Battery Reports
If a system should report a low CCU battery, the
battery may not be bad. Both the loss of AC and
a long alarm can temporarily drag the battery
down long enough for a single test to give a “low”
reading. In some instances, a long loss of AC
could result in battery damage.
A normal battery should restore to “good” voltage
in the time it takes the user to call you. if checked
(have user go to Security menu (3) and select
“TEST’‘-this will tell the system to recheck the
battery voltage), the Trouble should go away
within 4 seconds of performing the Test. If the
Test does not eliminate the low voltage Trouble,
then the battery is bad or some part of the system
has caused it to go low.
Battery Replacement
If a battery is bad, you can replace it without
taking any special protective steps (unless there
are tamper switches on the enclosure, in which
case you would set the system to Test mode
Fn#014 in order to prevent a Tamper call to the
monitoring service).
Open the enclosure, disconnect the bad battery,
reconnect the new battery. If the system happens
to be running the hourly battery test at that time
you may get another bad battery Trouble, which
you can remove at the keypad, after calling the
User’s Test option. Remember that, unless the
battery is already charged to 100% capacity, the
standby time will be shorter than normal. Charge
time for a 7 Ahr battery is less than 24 hours.
After battery replacement run the Verification test,
check the time, and review access codes, in
order to verify that the system’s memory is intact.
About Supervision
of the Hardwire Loops
End-Of-Line resistors are required in the Security
System 8300 hardwire loops. This is true because
the system provides a “fault” in addition to Open
and Closed conditions. (See
Fn#513 in Chapter 3
and “Wiring Data” in Chapter 2).
“Fault” is the shorting of a closed loop or cutting
of an open loop. A fault will produce a Trouble.
In addition, faulting the following Categories while
set to DAY, NIGHT, or AWAY will produce a
violation (normally interpreted as an Alarm by the
CCU). (Category
# in parentheses):
Entry/Exit (1)
Interior Tamper (5)
Perimeter (2)
Day Zone (6)
Interior (3)
Audible Panic (8)
24-Hr/P’rim Tamper(4) Keyswitch (16)
Fire (Category 10) will produce a Trouble if
programmed
(Fn#515) as Open loop, or a Viola-
tion if programmed as Closed loop.
