Section 3. POWERING THE SYSTEM
Primary Power Power to the Control panel is supplied by model No. 1361* Plug-in Transformer
which is rated at 16.5VAC, 40VA. Caution must be taken when wiring this
transformer to the panel to guard against blowing the fuse inside the transformer
(non-replaceable).
* NOTE: Use 1361CN Transformer in Canadian installations.
Back-Up Power In the event of an AC power loss, the Control panel is supported by a back-up,
rechargeable gel cell battery. Ademco 467 (12V, 4AH), YUASA NP4-12 (12V,
4AH) and NP7-12 (12V, 7AH) batteries are recommended. Do not use Gates
batteries.
The standby battery is automatically tested every 24 hours, beginning 24 hours
after exiting programming mode. In addition, entry into the test mode will cause a
battery test to be initiated.

Earth Ground
Connections
In order for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be
effective, the designated earth ground terminal must be terminated in a good
earth ground. The following are examples of good earth grounds available at most
installations:
Metal Cold Water Pipe: Use a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is
recommended) firmly secured to the pipe to which the ground lead is electrically
connected and secured.
AC Power Outlet Ground: Available from 3-prong, 120VAC, power outlets
only. To test the integrity of the ground terminal, use a three-wire circuit tester
with neon lamp indicators, such as the UL-Listed Ideal Model 61-035, or
equivalent, available at most electrical supply stores.
