Hi

I moved in to my house recently with an Accenta 8 alarm system installed, as I

am new to this I was wondering if someone could help me

I had to do some decorating in my living room, which required me to take down one of the zones (3), I unwired the device, taking a note of the order of wires. When I re-wired the zone I noticed that the infrared sensors from any of the zones no longer came on - I have a total of 3 infrared zones.

I then tried to arm the system, on the RKP all the zones were lit with a continous bleeping noise. I have double checked the wiring and it seems ok.

Thanks in advance.

fuse

A silly question.

How I would I know what fuse has blown - I have a diagram of the PCB and there are three:

1A 13v & Speaker

1A Bell & Strobe

1.6A Battery

Can I do this whilst there is power to the board.

Thanks for such a fast reply..

Regards

I dont have anyone who looks after the system - is this advisable then.

As with the blown fuse - could this of been caused by a short - the cables were not covered whilst I was decorating.

def' meter the fuses & replace

Thanks for this - I will try this.

Do you know how much it usually costs for an engineer to visit onsite to test/fix the alarm system, also do you have any idea of any reputable companies that do this.

Regards

usually £45.00 upwards depending where you are and if anything else needs to be done. where abouts are you?

Most installers wont touch a one off job but will take on an exsting install for annual inspection as long as it is a decent quality install.

I am based in Kent, Bexleyheath (DA7)

Kent?! sssssshhhhhhhh [sharp intake of breath] it'll cost you!

I'm sure someone on here will be not too far away, if not try Yell.com
