Alarm Sounds As Soon As Power Cut

Hi

Hope someone can help me, i've recently just moved one of the PIR's and sounder for my alarm system as they were originally installed in the wrong place.

Everything seemed fine until i cut the power to the whole house to carry out some more electrical work. As soon as i cut power the bell outside rings constantly until the power is restored.

The keypad isn't it at all while the power is off.

I know this is a stupid question but am i right in thinking that the battery is causing the problem?

Really hope someone can help

Thanks

Lack of maintenance is the biggest cause of problems with alarm users. The system needs new

batteries and to be checked for damage by an engineer.

You may also have blown one of the fuses.

Yeah thats exactly what i did, i must have shorted the power cables on the PIR when i moved it. The fuse on the board has blown.

I figured it couldn't be the battery as it had been working without a problem so it kinda had to be my mistake that had caused the problem.

Thanks for your help
