6.1 Battery Terminals 3 and 4
Connect the black battery lead to the negative battery terminal. The negative terminal connects to the enclosure
ground internally through the XR500 Series circuit
board. Connect the red battery lead to the
battery positive terminal. Observe polarity when
connecting the battery.
You can add a second battery in parallel using the
DMP Model 318 Dual Battery Harness. DMP requires
each battery be separated by a PTC in the
battery harness wiring to protect each battery
from a reversal or short within the circuit. See
Figure 6.
Use sealed lead-acid batteries only:
Use the Model 365 (12 Vdc 9 Ah),
Model 366 (12 Vdc 18 Ah), Model 368 (12
Vdc 5.0 Ah), or Model 369 (12 Vdc 7 Ah)
sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery.
Batteries supplied by DMP have been tested to ensure proper charging with DMP products.

the battery cutoff relay. The leads need a momentary short only. Once the relay has pulled in, the battery voltage
holds it in that condition. If the XR500 Series panel is powered up with an AC transformer, the battery cutoff relay is
pulled in automatically. For more information refer to Figure 1.
6.4 Battery Replacement Period
DMP recommends replacing the battery every 3 to 5 years under normal use.
6.5 Discharge/Recharge

are the various battery voltage level conditions:
Battery Trouble: Below 11.9 Vdc
Battery Cutoff: Below 10.2 Vdc

seconds. During the test, the panel places a load on the battery; if the battery voltage falls below 11.9 Vdc a low
battery is detected. If AC power is not present, a low battery is detected any time the battery voltage falls below
11.9 Vdc.
If a low battery is detected with AC power present, the test repeats every two minutes until the battery charges
above 12.6 Vdc indicating the battery has restored voltage. If a weak battery is replaced with a fully charged
battery, the restored battery will not be detected until the next two minute test is completed.
6.7 Battery Cutoff
The panel disconnects the battery any time the battery voltage drops below 10.2 Vdc. This prevents battery deep
discharge damage.
