swoot Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hi all Just trying to get our basic system so it won't alarm in a power cut, very annoying when trying to do electrical work on the house. I've already replaced the internal backup battery and left it 24hrs to charge but when I test it by removing mains power, the alarm sounds. I have 2 LEDs in the display, mains and day - both go out. The alarm is a C&K Securitech and unsure about the bell box make, although its hex shaped with 2 blue lenses at the bottom. Any ideas please guys? !

matthew.brough Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Fuse failure that covers the battery? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Battery fuse or duff battery. Have you tested for DC Voltage on battery leads and battery terminals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Was the 'original' duff old battery really foobared with lots of green stuff on the terminals, etc... Just wondering if a) Charger circuit knackered and/or b) Terminal wires very high resistance or rotted away under terminal plastics and/or c) Fuse gone as suggested OP, you mention electrical work so we won't anger Arf with discussions of electrical safety; is there a voltage on the charger circuit and if so what is it? So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swoot Posted September 1, 2013 Author Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. It was indeed the 1amp fuse for the battery. Replaced and tested OK. We had several short power cuts during bad weather last year, maybe these caused the issue? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
