Griffmaster Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 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.

datadiffusion Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 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.

datadiffusion Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 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'.

Griffmaster Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Thanks for that datadiffusion. I have no problem with mains left connected, quite use to working around electrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 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.
