SteveC1458 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 We inherited a pyronix enforcer alarm which is now showing an alert on the main box , det wireless low battery Does this mean the battery on the wireless control box needs changing, or the battery on the main box, or something else?

Amps Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Every two years is fine although I guess it can depend on the environment and signal strength. I've known the detector batteries last +4 years but the external siren batteries never make it past 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie45 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Similar issue I have inherited a pyronix system with a low battery in the siren that keeps setting off the panel. I don't have a ladder that can reach the siren to change the battery and it's an old system that does not give notifications it just makes noise! Alarm company won't share the engineers code. I'd considered pulling the fuse and battery out of the main console but the siren will likely go off. What's the best way to shut it all down or at least stop the alarm sounding because of the low battery without changing the battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a crazy idea, pay an alarm man with ladder to fully disconnect it or repair it ? Or power it down internally & buy / hire a ladder & remove the battery(s) from the external sounder(s) ( the sounders often start making noises with faulty batteries despite the controls being powered down) Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 DIY homeowners get all het up when they feel entitled to an engineers code... * The programming of a system is owned by the programmer. The code protects the programmer from liability that programming was tampered. * It's part of the regs that an end user shouldn't have access to the programming parts of there own system. You are more than welcome to serve your time as an engineer to learn how to fully program a system. The fact you think an alarm systems important feature is push notifications is concerning.
