Guest bells73 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 hi all i am currently undertaking some renovation work to our house but find tha t when i isolate upstairs circuit or turn off elec supply the alarm activates. it is a veritas alarm (oldish, i think poss 8c from looking at other threads but there are no markings save the veritas name). i have set alarm to unset prior to switching off power but alarm still triggers. is there a way to avoid activating alarm while i update some electrics? if not does anyone have a recommendation for a service engineer in newcastle upon tyne area all help/replies gratefully received and i apologise if this is a dumb question but you were warned in the title thanks dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 There is/should be a back-up battery in the panel, either it is missing, faulty, or a fuse has gone, if it was faulty it could have damaged the panel - time for an engineer Im affraid to check it out properly.

I have to agree sounds like either a fuse or a faulty stand by battery(assuming you have one fitted that is?????????????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
