just out of interest have you measured the AC supply on to the pcb? Should be between 18 - 20VAC

Its 18.5v

AC voltage in seems about right & you say you have disconnected the battery

Have you power cycled it? (may be worth powering it off for a short duration then powering it back up)

If all that fails then I suspect its a faulty PCB.

I would start with checking the voltage and charging current from the battery leads, followed by general other voltages.

11v is too low so you either have a duff or flat battery or the panel is dragging the battery flat.

 

Never been a fan of Risco stuff so if I found something was broken, I would be looking to replace. The keypad is unlikely to last much longer I'd imagine.

I would be very interested in it

The Gardtec 600 is a direct replacement I believe its still produced 

I thought it was long discontinued? But who is right? :)

 

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

You may be right I thought it may be because we are still buying keypads for them 

It would appear gt600 is still in production, new endstations or even pcbs are still there to purchase

 

Ripping it all out is going be pricey...

Defo still in production....

I actually quote like the 595 & 600 (don't slate me too much lol)

Blimey fair enough. I knew keypads were still going.

 

Years back I loved the 816 etc...

 

Probably a bit like everyone says they used to like Scanny ;)
