hi folks. been trying to tidy up a few things with my galaxy 60 panel. am not certain if the backup battery is working or not. its a new battery and the fuse is ok but when i turn off the supply power to the panel, the keypads etc don't stay on, upon restorationt everything configures ok and all the settings are correct etc. is there a prob with the PSU or something else.? any suggestion of how to test etc. can't remember the version number of hand but know that the main board and PSU board are separate. will find out version if it helps.

thank's guys

battery is a 7Ah, and is less than 2 months old. i thought the keypads were supposed to stay on whe the power was lost?

you mean they "go off..?" do the scanners etc still light ? what voltage do you get across the battery when its mains on and mains off?

is the battery connected, sounds daft but i've seen it before.

once had a customer we quoted for, but they decided to install them self, rings us back in the end saying he has progged it all ect bell works in test, but just can't get any zones to trigger. we say

yep, everything goes off. what was that about zone links??? like i said, once ower is restored eveything comes back on no probs and all configures properly. just get no keypads etc when power lost.battery is connected

dodgy leads ? have they got a fuse inline like the gardtec ones ?

two fly leads from the PSU board, and im 99% sre it has a fuse and it ok. will check for certain tomoro but any other suggestions if its not that. have put the old battery back on it and because the batt is low the power light on the keypad flashes slowly like its supposed to to warn of low battery.

Don't forget, all new batts. should be charged for 24hrs before installation !

that's one thing i didn't do!!! is there much point in that now?
