Hi.

 

Have bought a new Yuasa 12v battery for inside my Abacus panel.

 

Is it just a case of unplugging the old and plugging in the new in Engineer mode?

 

Not sure about it affecting programming etc.

 

Thanks.

 

 

If you have the engineer code, yes things are much simplified, although we always warn about the mains

voltages present in the panel, etc...

 

I would also check the battery again in a day or two to make sure it is actually charging.

So just a case of unplugging the old without risk of data loss etc.

Nope, all alarms have an NVM of some kind or another (although one day, anything between 10-25 years I guess, this will eventually fail itself as in the 9800 etc...)

 

Besides a trained installer would usually leave the mains running anyway - although we can't recommend 'working live'.

Thanks for that datadiffusion.

 

I have no problem with mains left connected, quite use to working around electrics.

No worries, "at your own risk" etc... etc...

There was a problem with the 6p where it used to forget the user code, but that was only when it was set 

No, none of them are probably quite old enough yet I guess, our 9800 went at only just 12 years old but I know that was a specific 'wire eprom' issue.
