The panel must be powered up on AC first

It will not power up on battery due to the 'Battery Saver' feature.

 

 

How does battery saver work?

This feature causes the panel to shut down when the battery falls below 9.5VDC to prevent damage to the battery at a point when the system will no longer function correctly.

 

 

I want to power up with battery only

You can bypass this feature, and power up on battery ONLY by installing a jumper from the battery negative to terminal 4 (keypad negative)

Remove this jumper after the system is operational.
