Absolutely no need to open the panel to look at it first. If your unsure of what to do, you may be better off calling in a local Installer. assuming a 2.1 is big enough. OP the battery is sized depending on panel load Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

jezthomp Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'm all for getting a new system just have no idea how much these things cost, the Accenta 7 seems fairly old but apart from this its been fine. We have an engineer coming Thursday so will see what he says, just seems odd they serviced it in Feb and then a power cut has caused this issue. Also odd that the keypanel buttons are illuminated but none of the TA, PA, Day & Power ones below it are and also how me just putting the code in lots of times worked! Thank you all for your options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all for your options The TA (Tamper) & PA (Personal attack) lights would only light in the event one of these circuits was activated. The day light would normally be on once the panel is fully reset and in normal day mode. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Doesn't mean the standby battery is large enough tho. Depends if that was checked when it was fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all alarm companies are the same and not all engineers have the proper training or understand how things work. I have come across systems with ten year old batteries in them, yet the system has been serviced every year. We took over a leisure center a couple of years ago because the incumbent company had told them that the panel was knackered and wanted a small fortune to replace it. We replaced it for less money but while we were changing the kit we found numerous batteries that were knackered which had probably been the cause of the diagnosis that the panel was knackered. This system had been serviced by several nationals and a local co whilst the batteries were passed their sell-by. A decent local company will have changed your battery every four years regardless.
