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?

Means you probably need to change all the batteries as one by one they will all go , so don't cheap skate it change all

We just took over the service on a Enforcer, the bats hadnt been replaced for four years, the manufacturer recommends 2 -3 years, we recommend every year, nothing worse than low battery just before you want to go on holiday

Battery pack inside panel probably needs doing to , you have to open panel let it hang from a few wires and hope for the best , it's not best of designs

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?

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)

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.
