Need to change the battery on your Guardian FA 168 Panel? First, make sure your system is disarmed, and then place your system on test mode. Watch the video below for a few additional steps and then you’re all set!
To replace your panel’s battery, please follow these steps:
- Log in to your Guardian Protection account.
- Select System Info and then select Test My System.
- Disarm your system.
- Unscrew the door on your panel to access the battery.
- Find the battery pack and disconnect the black wire by pulling it off of the negative battery terminal.
- Disconnect the red wire by pulling the connector off of the positive battery terminal.
- Remove the old battery.
- Replace the battery at the bottom of the panel box (make sure to remove all plastic terminal detectors before placing it in the panel).
- If the battery doesn’t have red and black terminals, check for positive and negative signs near the terminals so that you can place the battery in such a way that the positive and negative wires don’t cross each other.
- Replace the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the negative terminal.
- Close and lock/fasten the panel door back onto the panel box.
- Test your system to make sure that it is working properly now.
- Take your panel out of test mode.
