Hi all

I have been experiencing a few problems when trying to set my alarm,

once I have entered my code and pressed full set I get a message saying EXT LOCKOUT VIEW LOG CONTINUE YES / NO

it will only except the yes option and this reverts me back to the start again.

it was doing this last week and after a couple of re trys it eventually set the alarm and behaved as normal.

now it is not reponding at all

when I do a log check its showing that EXT LOCKOUT WAS ON THEN OFF with aprox 20 seconds inbetween each on and off phase and has been doin this continually since the alarm had been set.

I cant find any reference to EXT LOCKOUT in my manual

has anybody had this issue or any ideas

best regards

hi,you would be better off replacing the panel,try upgrading to a texecom or gardtec panel,.

I would also look at upgrading, you can pick up a panel and keypad now for around

Thanks for the replies.

im not an engineer so wouldnt like to try and replace the panel and keypad myself.

any idea how much this would cost? and can i use the exsiting pirs and wiring?

i have 5 zones at present and have the existing wiring inplace for two keypads .

best regards

Yes, you can use existing cables/PIRs aslong as the cables test OK.

Why not contact some local companies for a quote? I beleive forum member ADI is based in Leicester, may be worth giving him a bell
