dazzagp Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Hi I have a securetech alarm system (at least that's what is on the control panel) The system is old it was in when we moved in 17 years ago. Last week we have a couple of very short power cuts and now it won't switch on so any advice gratefully received thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42655-advice-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzagp Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 I have read on other forums that it could just be the battery any thoughts? Also where would I be able to get the master reset code. I am technical so changing a battery will be of no issues what so ever, but all I have is our code.

james.wilson Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 you dont need the engineer code to change the battery. you ought to check the charger circuit etc if it hasnt been serviced correctly securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Systems need servicing regularly. It's quite possible the battery and charging circuit have gone faulty in which case a new battery would only be a temporary fix. If you know what you are doing you can check this but more likely an engineer would recommend replacing the controls and possibly the external sounder.
