James R Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi all Got a Gardtec panel that has 2 panic alarm wireless fobs as zones 92 and 93 When customer started setting procedure - alarm wouldn't set and got a alert message on one of the panic fobs - wouldn't reset with engineers code and kept into 'alert! Enter code' or something to that effect. It leads me to think the panel thinks the fob is being pressed due to a fault and won't set as a result - all the alarm reset codes are either 'any code' or 'engineers code' so I don't think there's a different code that I don't know for PA reset. Wondered if any one has had similar issues? Or have any info Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aissecur Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Have you put new batteries in the fob? may be worth deleting the fobs & then relearning them If you delete them, learn one, test it if all ok learn the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like there equipment , but some her do use some stuff , there wireless is dodgy But you will get better evaluation from others , there's plenty of threads on the stuff trade side Once you had your covict19 jab they will let you in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a few issues with risco wireless gear recently. Something we're having to look after.. Installers by previous contactors - they must have loved as they've put everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
