CP32 Battery Back UP

[Lee]

Hi folks I have an Aritech CP32 alarm system in my house. Does this alarm system have a battery backup and if so, what type of battery can I use in this and how can I go about changing the battery. I know that the alarm system is old but is adequate for what I need. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Hello Lee,

The Aritech CP32 has a back up battery located within the main control panel. The battery you require is a 12 volt rechargable, 2.8 amp.

To replace the battery disconnect the mains supply & open the control panel. The battery will be clearly visible with red & black cables attached to the respective terminals. Disconnect the old battery (the outside siren may ring this is normal) & connect the new battery observing the red & black connections. Reconnect the mains supply & disarm the alarm system using the factory code 01122.

Close up the control panel. You will now need to reprogramme you user code. Procede as follows:

enter 01122 when buzzer sounds enter *# new code *

This entry will be confirmed with a "o" on the display.
