Digital Monitoring Products Inc PC0191 User Manual

Observe polarity when installing the battery. Use only 3.0V lithium batteries, DMP Model CR123, or the equivalent 

battery from a local retail outlet. For UL installations, only use #123 batteries manufactured by Energizer or CR123A 

batteries manufactured by Panasonic or Tekcell.
Note: When setting up a wireless system, it is recommended to program zones and connect the receiver before 

installing batteries in the transmitters.

1. If installed, remove the transmitter housing cover by pushing the button on the end and gently pulling upwards.
2. If replacing the battery, remove the old battery and dispose of it properly.
3. Place the 3.0V lithium battery in the holder shown in Figure 5 and press into place.
4. Snap the cover back into place.

 Caution: Risk of fire, explosion, and burns. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or 

 

incinerate. Properly dispose of used batteries.

Typical battery life expectancy for DMP Model 1101 wireless transmitters is 5 years. DMP wireless equipment uses 

two-way communication to extend battery life.
The following situations can reduce battery life expectancy:

•  If a receiver is unplugged or not installed. 

Note: Transmitters continue to send supervision messages until a receiver returns an acknowledgement. 

After an hour the transmitter only attempts a supervision message every 60 minutes.

•  Frequent transmissions, such as a door contact where messages are sent every time the door opens or closes.
•  When installed in extreme hot or cold environments.

The following situation can extend battery life expectancy:

•  Extend transmitter supervision time in panel programming.
•  Infrequent transmission trips, such as a window that rarely sends messages.
