What is the expected battery life of the Sensor?
- In POLL MODE the expected battery life of the Sensor is roughly 5 weeks of continuous operation when using name brand alkaline batteries. This will decrease if excessive alarms, polls, and use of the WHITE LIGHT Mode are exhibited.
- Lithium AA batteries will provide nearly double the battery life as compared to name brand alkalines.
- In NON POLL MODE the expected battery life of the Sensor is roughly 6 months of continuous operation. This will decrease if excessive alarms are exhibited.
- As a general rule of thumb one can turn off the Sensor by the internal power switch when not in use to conserve batteries.
