This particular box cover was in pristine condition, after the owner cleaned out the cobwebs and washed it. Interestingly, a single housefly flew out when first opened; it must have been attracted by the heat, doesn't say much for the IP rating though. Jaymack

I think it's a question of the basic intelligence of those at the coal face, there is a need to think about the consequences - a "what if" analysis, although we are not all born equal as far as grey matter is concerned. Jaymack

Thanks for the help, it's difficult to see how the battery is fixed to the casing, when standing on a ladder 5 metres above the ground - 1 hand for me and the other for working. I'll use a screwdriver to prise it off since it appears to be simply stuck on and no help notice. What is worse, that not being left handed, the right hand is for holding on and the useless mitt is the left hand for working on. Why there is no space at the left hand side for ladder access ,is probably because it was installed by a left handed installer. I now have replacements for both 9 year old batteries. These alarm boxes needn't be mounted so high, I think that 3m is high enough. Jaymack

How to replace the battery for a Texecom, Odyssey 1E?, the existing one seems to be held in place - but how? Jaymack
