Hi all,

I have a Veritas 8 compact alarm system. It has been instsalled around 8 years and has never been serviced.

Recently I noticed the box was getting hot and about a week later it stopped working.

I opened it up and noticed that the live wire had snapped at its terminal, also the fuse had blown.

I repaired the wire and replaced the fuse and it worked for about 6 hours and then died. (Still running hot)

Obviously the battery is far past it's best but could it be causing the getting hot problem?

PS, I have not opened it up a second time to see if the fuse has blown etc again. I'll have a closer look tonight.

any help appreciated..

Hi ,

Yes your panel has to work harder to charge your flat battery , so replace asap.Also make sure there is a free flow of air from bottom to top , (you havent decorated around it have you?).

Regards.
