hi my alarm panel has stoped working to give you a few details

 

this where it gets a bit where i am having to have a think

 

i installed a new battery in to the alarm panel in the morning powered on and all working fine went out and set the alarm

 

come back later on in the night after the storms and the lightning the panel is off no power 2 fuses on the panel are blown and if you replace the fuses you get a burning smell and a very small amount of smoke i am thinking the board is well gone lol

 

ps asking around there are meny problems with alarms and peoples telephone lines so i am thinking that its a lightning strike or such.Round the corner on the bt tel pole the bt box is missing the cover and the wires are every where

 

in the bt box inside the are black marks in and around the socket

 

any help please

 

i am going to buy a new panel in the morning

 

thanks for your help inadvance

 

 

 

my question is

 

ps i cheaked the conections on the battery and yes before you ask they are on the right pos and neg i did cheak twice before powering on

Fit new panel and a anti surge protection kit , that hopefully will blow and save the panel.

Unless it is a cheap panel and then it might be cheaper to just replace the panel of it happens again, had one site hit 4 times!

 

Ps does your phone work or are you using a dongle?

internet through virgin

 

 

only a cheaper

OPTIMA G3 or g4

so £55 to replace as long as hasent taken out any more

 

i hope the dialer is ok but if not have had 12 years out of it so cant moan

Well if its come down the phone line the dialer is stuffed too.

Tried a test call?

cant try a test call as there is no power as the alarm panel is down so untill i replace that i cant see if the dialer is bust or not

Power the dialler from the new battery to test.

I thank you.

am going to have a go in the morning will post back when i get any more info thanks angel

Be careful you don't blow your new panel with a blown speech dialler.

As above test on a battery first.

Do you actually know what was wrong with the system before you started? What made you change the battery?
