Figure 5.Connecting the Battery Backup
Battery Replacement
The battery should be replaced every 3 years or when testing indicates replacement is required. Replace with the same
size and type installed. See Battery Replacement Instructions on Pg. 45 for details.
Battery Only Restart
The 7007 subscriber without AC power (for test or diagnostic purposes) will power up and self-test with only the
battery connected.
Battery Supervision
When AC power is present, the battery is tested at approximately 30-second intervals.
When the battery voltage is 11.2 V DC or less for two consecutive test intervals (approximately 60 seconds total), a
low-battery trouble message is transmitted.
When AC power is present and a low battery reaches a charge voltage above 12 V DC, a restoral message is
transmitted.
Replacing a low-charge battery with a fully charged battery may result in the subscriber not immediately detecting the
fully charged battery. Due to the test cycle time, up to 60 seconds can pass before the fully charged battery is
recognized.
Low Battery Voltage Cutoff
To prevent damage from deep discharge, the 7007 subscriber disconnects the battery when voltage is less than 10 V
DC.
Discharge/Recharge
The 7007 subscriber float charges the battery using a 40 VA transformer. The battery voltage level conditions are:
•Low Battery (Trouble message): 11.2 V DC or below
•Subscriber Battery Disconnect: Below 10 V DC
•Battery Reconnect (Restoral message): Above 12 V DC

AES 7007 Security Subscriber 18
Part No. 40-7007 Rev. 2B, 4/9/2022
6. External Antenna
6.1 Antenna Selection
A remotely mounted external antenna may be required for optimal performance on the mesh network, depending on
installation location requirements or conditions. Contact AES Corporation for additional antennas that may be used
with the 7007 Security Subscriber unit.
6.2 Coaxial Cable and Connector Selection
•Use 50-ohm impedance coaxial cable only. RG-8, 9913, LMR-400, and LMR-600 are acceptable coaxial
cables.
•RG-58 may be used for installations where cable is not more than 25 ft. in length.
•Always use the shortest coaxial cable possible. Long coaxial cable results in greater transmitted signal loss.
•Always use the most direct route possible in any coaxial cable installation. Unnecessary and tight bends add to
transmitted signal loss.
•Use the proper coaxial connectors and crimp tool for the cable selected. Incorrect or poorly installed
connectors can cause transmitted signal power loss.
6.3 Antenna Location
Keep the following in mind when selecting an antenna location:
•The supplied tamper resistant and flexible 2.5 dB antenna mounts on top of the enclosure.
•Remotely located antennas should be mounted as high as possible, either on top of or inside the building
structure. Rooftops and attic spaces are preferable.
•Antenna height needs to be high enough to overcome nearby obstructions to the RF signal path.
•A remote antenna should be mounted in a location near the transceiver to minimize coaxial cable signal loss.
Do not use cable longer than needed to reach the antenna.
•Avoid installing the antenna in close proximity to metal surfaces. Nearby metal may degrade radio
communications through signal reflections or antenna detuning.
•Remember that pipes, conduit, wiring, ductwork, and other metal commonly installed within building walls
can affect antenna performance.
─Take into account foil-backed insulation and wallpaper.
─Metal objects can also be located in adjacent rooms or above ceilings.
─Metallic framing and supports are commonly used in buildings. Do not mount the antenna directly over, or
close to metal studding, beams, or other supports which can interfere with the RF signal.
6.4 Antenna Installation
WARNING! Do NOT install the subscriber unit or antenna during a lightning storm.
The following installation guidelines must be followed when installing the antenna:
•The remotely mounted antenna must be properly grounded to help reduce surge damage from lightning.
•Grounding must be done in accordance with local building codes and in accordance with other requirements
from Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
•Mount the remote antenna vertically.
•Do not coil or bunch coaxial cable.
•Install the remote antenna in accordance with National Electric Code and local electric code.
