SHB1 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi We have replaced the fuse for the strobe and movement sensors twice in the last 6 months but it's blown again. Any ideas why, what might be causing it and what might need doing to fix it and if it's likely to be expensive? Also, does anyone know any reputible engineers in the Swindon area? Thanks!

Just tried rpelying to this and it told me the topic had been moved or was missing! I was saying that most likely cause is you're pulling too much current through the output - how many PIRs do you have connected to the panel? Next most likely is a fault on one of the devices connected. In all probability an additional PSU would help matters along. An engineer can fit one easily for you. I'm not Swindon based, but one of the other lads here may be. Bill.

SUBS Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 What often gets overlooked is..........is the fuse a nice tight fit in the holder, and making good contact. a loose fuse will blow at random without any other symptoms.

Alarm Protection Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Short in one of the cables....Any decorating work done lately etc? When has the battery been replaced in the panel? I would suggest you get an engineer in to have a look/service the system. !

Guest old-hand Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 From memory the fuses are separate ie, power and bell/strobe. When does the fuse blow? Has the system gone off? As above, any works taken place? You obviously need an engineer to attend as an alarm not functioning correctly is a risk for insurance purposes and possibly environmental noise nuisance.

SHB1 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for all the responses. PIR being the infared sensor things? (I'm a girl so go easy on me...). We only have two, and a contact point on one door. Anyone give me an estimate cost wise for a service etc or can anyone in the Swindon areas recomend anyone?

Guest old-hand Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Cost wise expect at least Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/28193-please-help/#findComment-234136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
