NC3D Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 10 minutes ago, PeterJames said: Caps would have to be pretty big in order to hold enough charge to make any sort of audible beep. Even the biggest caps would discharge pretty quickly after a powerdown. You may be charging a battery operated smoke from the same spur, or maybe a 12vdc smoke with its own battery backup somewhere. With the panel open and my ear about 12 inches away I can categorically say it is the alarm. Tried it now on just battery, just power, both and it continues.

NC3D Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Ok, I'm officially beaten. Removed power and there was enough residual juice in the caps to chirp twice, 45 seconds apart. Tried disconnecting the bell, no difference. So unless somebody has any ideas of what it might be, I've just disconnected the speaker until I can replace the whole unit. My mother can at least sleep in peace now. P.S. It wasn't the smoke alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 9800 keeps sounding with no power. But its 25 ish yr old so its more likely to be the old alarm vs the past it 10 yr old smoke/co2 etc detector Quote securitywarehouse https://store.securitywarehouse.co.uk Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Don't forget the Mitcheldean witch trials- Any strange bleep from a powered down alarm, needs the services of an exorcist.. I used to be medium, but as I got fatter my shirts are now all large.

Zimmerphrame- Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 from what a remember, scanny 9800 doesn't have an onboard buzzer..... i get this all the time... best thing is to shut all doors in house, walk around to see where noise loudest...due to frequency of beeps, it can throw its location around a bit... could be something in cupboard with scanny panel...but if you downpower the panel and leave it a while, and you still get chirrping, it definately is not the panel..

sixwheeledbeast Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Down power the panel you'll get the bell ringing outside, that'll help find an intermittent beep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
