To change the battery in the unit:- replacement part: 1 x EDA-Q690
The battery should last approximately 2-3 years in the unit. Always use batteries supplied by Electro Detectors
otherwise this will invalidate the certification. Many similar battery technologies are available but only the ones that
meet certain properties can be used with these units. The battery pack is fitted with 2xAA Lithium Thynol Chloride
cells. Min voltage 3.0V, Max 3.7V. When the battery is approaching its end of life the unit will transmit a low battery
condition, which will be indicated on the control panel. The system will still function for at least a further 60 days in
this condition before the unit fails to work. Once the batteries are too flat to operate, the unit will either indicate a
“verify fail” fault, because the panel has lost communication with the device, or a battery fault will be displayed.
Should either of these be witnessed, the batteries should be changed immediately. If the unit detects a fault with the
battery a ‘battery fault’ will be indicated on the panel. Therefore:-
1. Remove the back box.
2. Remove the power link.
3. Remove the old battery pack.
4. Fit the new battery pack making sure the battery’s pins are lined up and pressed down.
5. Press and hold the unit removal and log-on button simultaneously.
6. With these buttons pressed down, fit the power link.
7. Let the unit go into its log-on mode (ie three rapid beeps) and keep the buttons pressed down.
8. After a further five seconds a series of beeps will sound, at this point release the buttons. This will re-
set the battery counter.
9. Refit the device onto its back box.
Faults displayed on the control panel from devices:-
Low Battery: The batteries are approaching their end of life. The unit will continue to operate for a
further 60 days before the batteries need to be changed.
Verify Fail: The panel has lost communication with the device, this could be caused by the batteries
being flat, the unit failing to operate, something obstructing the radio signal path or the device not being
installed correctly with an adequate signal strength.
Battery Fault: The unit has detected a problem with the battery.
Unit Removal: If the unit is removed from its back box, the panel will display a unit removal/tamper fault.
Open Circuit: If the monitored inputs are measuring a resistance of >10Kthen the panel will display an
input open circuit fault. The format for the fault is Zn xxx I/P OC INPUT UNIT yyy
Where xxx is the zone number and yyy is the unit address
Short Circuit: If the monitored inputs are measuring a resistance of <100then the panel will display an
input short circuit. The format for the fault is Zn xxx I/P SC INPUT UNIT yyy
Where xxx is the zone number and yyy is the unit address
