I guess you have not had your alarm serviced in a while, I recommend you do. Look for NSI/SSAIB approved installers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPAlarms Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 is this a common fault, does anyone know how to fix this? Yes, it usually happens after a lengthy power failure and the backup battery drains down. Open the panel lid, remove one or both of the leads from the backup battery and then power the panel down. Leave it 1 minute and then switch the mains power back on and be ready to enter your code to stop the sounder. Close the panel lid, press the reset button and you should be good to use the system again. Then you need to get a new battery and replace the faulty one Free Alarm Monitoring over the Internet from IP Alarms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
