How to replace your Simon XT v1 and v2 Panel Battery (Video)

Transformer

• This is a large plug located in an electrical outlet. It is often secured with a screw to keep it from falling out. 

• This plug is the main source of power for your alarm system.

• As long as there is power in your home, your system should always have power.

• If the transformer stops supplying power, then the system will be kept running by the system’s backup battery.

Backup Battery

• The backup battery will keep the system running for a period of time in the event of a power outage.

• This time depends on the age of the battery and the number of devices it has to support during the outage. 

• The location of the battery depends on the system type.

• These backup batteries are rechargeable.  Once power is restored, the battery will recharge on its own.
