Hi All, Newby here! Hit a problem with my alarm system and after checking out some of the other posts on here thought I'd join up and ask all you helpful people given the responses that seem to get posted! I've got a Veritas R8 alarm in the house, the main box is under the stairs then there's a keypad in the kitchen to set/deactivate the alarm. All's been working fine (and I ALWAYS set the alarm - full in daytime and part at night) then I came to set it the other day and the alarm just beeped at me. I've had experience with other alarm systems, and have fitted Veritas alarms in the past, and I know to listen out for the pattern and you can usually detect the type of error and look this up/obtain advice on this basis. In this instance, the alarm unit beeped 10 times before pausing. I've had a look around on the net, and have found posts and comments by people that this tends to refer to a power issue. As established from the posts, it can often be either a battery fault or that one of the on-board fuses has blown (or both). I've checked the fuses and they're all fine, in addition I've bought a replacement battery and fitted this, which hasn't resolved the problem. We have not had a power cut (as a number of people have posted about being the cause of their faults) so I'm not sure if that is or isn't relevant. If anyone has any other advice/ideas as to what could have caused this and how to resolve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!!! J
