THANKS BARRY hi barry, C6 = Circuit 6, so whatever is connected to C6 like perhaps a door, it is not closed, or a detector has developed a fault. have you changed any doors? if so you needed to refit the magnet to the new dooror perhaps panic button was pressed and needs re-seting. your installer should have listed the zones in the back of your user manual regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Guest anguscanplay Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 C6? or Cb? I`d suspect the lids off the control unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antinode Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Cb means control panel tamper or keypad PIN tamper (the latter meaning someone entering the wrong code too many times) Check to make sure the lid on the main control panel is secure and hasn't been knocked. Then try entering your code and press YES and enter your code again to reset. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antinode Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ct is keypad tamper .............. Ct is keypad lid tamper IIRC, Cb could also mean key press tamper according to the blurb. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take the cover off control box just to put another battery in which i think explains the cb, i will try setting it again tomorrow as it's late for the siren to be blaring out now, my neighbours won't be impressed (LOL) once again thanks for your help i will repost tomorrow to let everyone know how i go on.

BARRY shrugs shoulders in disbelief for future information - the panel only shows the circuit number 1,2,3,etc not C 1,2,3 etc if it`s a zone in fault but hey - what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
