This chart explains the procedure for performing a Battery Test.
If a power failure occurs, your control panel has a built-in battery that will continue to power the control panel for many hours.
The control panel automatically recharges the battery when power is restored.
In addition to an automatic battery test performed every 2 minutes, the battery may also be tested manually.
This test also uses the battery to manually activate all the system sounders for 2 seconds ([PIN] [#] [8] [5] only).
If the battery voltage is low, a battery fault will occur (see Error Displays).
Testing your System (continued)
* = If this test is performed from a Master keypad, it must be in Single Partition Mode.
