Guest salford red Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have an Accenta alarm system at home. The other day I had cause to switch off the electric power to the house. Since then I have been unable to set the alarm. The two lights on the keypad at the bottom (one red and one green) are both not lit. (The red one has power written next to it). However there does appear to be power to the keypad as all of the actual keys are lit up. But I am unable to set the alarm when we leave home. There is no sound when any of the keypad buttons are pressed. The main control box (which I have sited upstairs) does have the red power light lit. The alarm system is I believe an Accenta 8 mini. Unfortunately I do not have any instructions. Could anybody out there point me in the right direction to get it working correctly? Many thanks.

FASTCAR Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Power down ( mains +battery) , then back up , mains first ... taking necessary precautions around mains voltages. Then , do the required battery tests, or get someone in who can. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gaffers Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Did this solve the problem? I am experiencing the same fault so would like to know if you were successful Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moominboy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 not to be condesceding , and coming from my vast experience, ;p. but have you checked all the fuses in the control panel? i had this happen on a different system and it was the fuse on the CP PCB that had gone. worth a look before you try what fastcar suggested?

morph Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Its a common problem with this panel that it will lock out when the battery fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gaffers Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Do i need to replace the battery then? If i turn the mains of the power light goes out on the main panel - suggests the battery is dead! Does the battery afect the keypad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Does the system have an outside bell/siren? Does it sound when you remove the power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gaffers Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 The outside alarm does not sound when the power is removed. Is this because the battery is dead. Will replacing the battery solve the problem? What does a service entail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
