andylowe04 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi, I had a power cut last week and since then my alarm hasn't been working. I have a property surveyor coming to my house tomorrow (and they are going to test the alarm I assume). However, when the electric went off last week and the alarm went off. After a bit of googling I found that the battery may be dead so bought (and connected) a new one from Maplins. Now though, I always get an attack light lit and keypad disabled when I turn the power on. I have attempted resetting the NVM but had no joy. Does anyone have a hint or tip that may help me? (other than getting an engineer in as timescales are pretty tight!) Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Andy Andy power it all down mains and battery then power it back up with the mains first , refit the battery , close the lid and press reset if it has one.If that doesnt cure it make arrangments for an engineer and show them to the surveyor - dont worry ive sold houses with a lot more wrong than that before Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylowe04 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Just a quick update, Aaron asked me to check the Panic button and try reset again. It turns out, the missus had pressed the panic button but not known what it was... However as the alarm was buggered anyway panic button hadn't done anything anyway! Tis now sorted anyhow. Thanks Aaron, top marks! 10 out of 10! Many Thanks, Andy No any tips on plastering ceilings... lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
