d-tec services Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hi all I have a G2-20 panel which is randomly setting off, when I look on the log it has the detector which triggered the false alarm then it will always have Batt Mis proceeding the alarm. I have checked the battery but it still does it, is this a faulty panel and if so what is the new equivalent of a G2-20 as I have read that they are now obsolete?

james.wilson Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 G2 is still available But I'd check everything before condemning it Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I don't fit Galaxy but would be surprised if they dropped the 2-20. Control panels are very rarely faulty from experience, you need to rule out external factors as throwing a panel at it is relatively expensive and will piss the customer off if it's something else. There could be something shorting to ground and dragging the system down, or maybe even the battery is faulty but appears ok if you test it. Not an exhaustive list of what it could be tho.

d-tec services Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 I had a 12 ah battery installed, changed it now to a 7 ah, does it cause the PSU to work harder to charge up a bigger battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on a complete discharge or new battery senario the rest of the time it's on trickle charge which hardly takes anything.
