Should be between 18 - 20VAC Its 18.5v Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43551-gardtec-repair-or-replace/page/2/#findComment-495652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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.

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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.

MrHappy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 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...

datadiffusion Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Blimey fair enough. I knew keypads were still going. Years back I loved the 816 etc...
