Texecom wireless alarm sensors use CR123A batteries whilst Texecom’s micro-sized sensors use CR2450 batteries. Changing the batteries in your wireless alarm system is easy, and should be done every 12 to 24 months – depending on how frequently your sensors trigger. In order to change the battery there are 4 steps to follow.
First, remove the cover of the sensor carefully. In most cases the cover is held by a small screw. When you open your alarm sensor it will trigger the tamper alarm and start your alarm ringing (You can’t do anything about this, unless you have the special engineer code). Remove old battery and replace with new one. After swapping batteries, make sure you place the cover back firmly – so as not to cause a tamper alarm problem.
Every wireless alarm system will have a different alarm battery inside, please note, you should buy alarm batteries from a reputable specialist alarm supplier. You should be careful about which manufacturer of battery you use – and make sure they’re the correct sort to avoid system faults.
