  1. Hi Welcome We are unable to give out any defaulting information on this forum for obvious reasons
  2. They are originals! Makes my universal fob seem cheap at £1 each though
  3. Hi Jenson I can see your in HEREFORD but normal trade non/trade members cant it would be sensible to say what areas you cover to avoid disappointment
  4. To discharge it you need to put a load on it, leave the battery connected and diss the mains this will discharge the battery slowly, a good battery should keep the system working between 8 and 12 hours depending on the current drawn. The less time it lasts the poorer the battery
  5. It was a basic explanation I was going for, something that even you would understand ;-)
  6. Ohms law v/i=r in the case of a battery how much current is in the battery dictates how much voltage it can produce, and how much resistance (current drawn) will have an effect on that voltage too. A fully charged battery would normally be 13.5vdc 12v could mean that the battery is discharged and requires charging. It could also mean that the battery is no good ( There is a reason they are supplied partially charged). The battery is supplied to the distributor with a charge but not fully charged. While its sitting on the shelf it will over time discharge, but it takes a while and its not good for the battery. We as a company have a high turn over of batteries, so we never have a discharged battery on any of our van stock, or in our stores they dont sit around long enough to. The manufacturers recommended life span of a battery is 4 years, but because a battery is a consumable it entirely depends on how much it has been used as to how quick it becomes past its best. I am not talking about how many power cuts either, mains is never a constant and you get spikes and dips, so how clean the mains electricity is that is supplied to your alarm effects the life and condition of battery.
  7. I think we can all guess what the problem is and the place of purchase will only confirm what we are all thinking.
  8. We have a client software that should work with the older machines. We now have the UK OEM license for the old Leviathan machine and we have rebranded it as our own. EliseDVR_VClient_5_0_11_161_adv_[XpVsW7].exe
  9. Long gone are the days of identifying components and replacing them. Cost of new panel versus cost of labour time, price of a new panel wins hands down every time. I would still check the keypad cables first though, there is nothing worse than replacing a system only to find that the new panel has the same fault as the old one
  10. It probably is buggered, try the rkp on a short wire direct into the panel and see, It is hard to say based on what you have said, but it has to be over ten years old they stopped making them 10 years ago, theyre no longer supported, I would have replaced it already.
  11. No if the data is down, if you power up the rkp without data it just lights up
  12. Sounds like its beyond repair, lots of things it could be try wiring one of the keypads staight into the panel diss any existing keypad wires. If this works then you have a problem with one of the cables to the rkps. If it doesnt fix it then change the panel
  13. Why are you worried about the price its not you that wants it?
  14. Ive put you on Mod preview which means any further posts you make will be reviewed by Mods before they are published. This will be removed once we have established that you can work with the forums rules
