Don't know if they've never been taught the importance of testing or are just too lazy to be honest. Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

jezthomp Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) 13 hours ago, Specialist said: Hi Jez: Yes, from what you've said then it's quite feasible for you to change the battery yourself in the future. Did he take a meter up into the attic to check charging voltage / current ?. Sorry: Not sure what you mean by even worse case scenario, bell only sounds for 20 minutes on the Accenta 6 ?. That's more than enough time to deter a burglar and really annoy your neighbours. I'm sorry i'm not sure :s He didn't turn the mains power off though, but must have opened the CPU box, or would he have taken the fuse out which sits alongside the box? This set the alarm off, i put my code in, he took old batter out and new one in? Then did a walk test and checked all the sensors etc, mentioned how he had repacked a previous failed sensor a few years ago when the previous occupant was there. The reason i was asking about how long the alarm goes off for, was worse case scenario i set the alarm off and cannot turn it off, it doesn't just go off forever....!

Specialist Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Hi Jez: No it shouldn't continue running, it should cut off once the 20 minutes timer is up. He would have changed the battery with the panel still powered from the mains, it's something most engineers are taught to do. The battery charge voltage and current should have been checked to ensure that the charge circuit is functioning correctly and that the faulty battery hadn't damaged the circuit.
