The type and model of wireless sensor is the primary contributing factor. “Murphy’s Law” states that as soon as you change one battery, another device will go bad next week.īattery life in wireless sensors can vary greatly. It may be practical to replace the batteries in all of the devices at the same time. If broken, they may need to be replaced to work properly. Plastic cases on your transmitters may be brittle from heat or age and may break when you remove them. It is better that you contact them first. If you start opening devices, the system will report to the central station that they are being tampered with and the central station will contact you. You will want to have the proper types and number of batteries on hand before you open devices.īe sure to call the central station to put the system in “Test” before working on it. Insert the battery with the positive (+) terminal toward the positive terminal block. Reversing the polarity may cause the device not to work or to short out and damage the device.Īgain, please remember that some devices use more than one battery and not all devices use the same types of batteries.
Again, it may be beneficial for a service technician to come out the first time to tutor you in the proper procedures. The basic operation will be to remove the cover and then remove the old battery and replace with the new. You can change these batteries or you can have Vigilante Security send a service technician to replace them. If you receive a call from the central station or are seeing a low battery indication on the alarm keypad, you will need to change the batteries of the device in question. The trouble signals are then sent to the central station. The keypad display will indicate the trouble status of the devices. The various devices also transmit their battery strength, as well as trouble, tamper and, in the case of some CO and smoke detectors, end of life, back to the control panel. The central station will contact you if a low battery signal is received by the control panel. As discussed in last month’s email, the system will report the battery life to the central station, in addition to an indication on the keypad screen. In a wireless system the control panel is powered by the home’s power with an internal back up battery in the event of a power loss. While battery technology today allows for longer operation, batteries will not last forever and will need to be replaced. Other devices may use multiple batteries. Devices, depending on type, contain different sizes, numbers and types of batteries. Each device is powered by internal batteries. Wireless alarm control panels communicate with the alarm devices via a radio signal. The wires provide power to the various devices and transmit alarm signals back to the alarm panel. With a wired system the keypads, door and window contacts, motion sensors, glass break and smoke detectors are all connected to the alarm panel using wires. Vigilante Security offers two types of alarm systems, wired or wireless.
