EURO46 woes....


POC

Recommended Posts

Hoping someone here can help me!

 

Roughly 12 months ago I had our existing alarm replaced with the EURO 46, all has been fine until last week.

 

The white metal box (control panel?) started making a low buzzing noise, but all continued to function ok.

 

Couple of days ago the keypad started warning that the battery in the control panel wasn't charging, then battery critical, now its saying low volts, at this point the buzzing has stopped!

 

I'm struggling to find someone to come take a look.

 

Any ideas?

warranty ?

 

Possibly on the hardware, the install was a cash job, the relationship has since soured.

50 quid says either existing battery re-used, new from Maplins, or just a 2nd hand battery which has failed nearly taking PSU with it.

 

You think a straight replacement battery will solve the problems?  Surly I can do this myself?

OK; do you have the engineer code?

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

I assume 7ah, buy a quality make like Genesis or Yuasa, avoid Chinese no-name or 'Lucas' ones from eBay.

Lol thought Lucas were good ?

 

And genesis not Chinese?

Ok, update.

 

I put in the engineer code (no on screen confirmation that i was actually in eng mode?)

 

Removed cover, no alarm.  I was met with this mess (see pic).

 

Upon pulling off the negative battery wire the alarm sounded saying 'control panel tamper, restore required'

 

Now what?  Anyone know of someone local to Hemel Hempstead that can fix this?

 

thanks, Paul

They all look neat with the lid on...

Yes man 

 

I stopped buying the spring loaded 8core so lid doesn't pop off if you loose clips or screws , tape holds it on
