What Should Happen During Power Cut?

Thanks Admin,

Panel swap tomorrow.

Once I've removed the inputs cables and the data lines, I take it I can hook the external sounder up to a 12v battery to give it the required hold offs whilst the panel is powered down?

[charlie6]

Yes, but make sure the battery is charged. Personally, I loop a cable through a hole in the rear of the panel, place the battery on the floor and connect pos and neg from the battery to the hold off cables.

Sound-er advice Charlie!

Didn't read through the posts again !! should point out that if you are removing the panel loop the cable from the battery through the same hole as the warning device connections. In that way you can simply remove the sounder cable with the hold off intact..it's easier..and less noisy. What's the replacement panel?

[dwdave]

Dimension 520.

 

Just working through the programming now!

 

Struggling to get the ethernet module to connect via RSS though.

If the new panel is not on the wall, link out the inputs (conventional or otherwise) and give it a test before mounting.

I have a feeling the 'new' panel is being wrapped up as we speak...

If I bought it as 'new' and it turned up in a tatty box used I'd be miffed...If I bought it 'new' and it turned up hotter than a cheese toastie I'd be miffed.

 

Either way it would go back.
