Honda3 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi i have a ademco microtech accord xpc i believe and want to replace it wirh new keypad and control board. Would like to keep the existing sensors and wiring. The keypad on this one is not responding properly and the fuse is blowing on the panel every 6 months or so. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I'd be wanting to find why the fuse is blowing, that's more likely a wiring or peripheral issue rather than the panel 1 Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Honda3 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Thanks for the reply. But nothing has changed as in no one has touched wiring or anything. And it doesn't blow straight after changing.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 OK but fuses don't blow for no reason. Is it overloaded etc. Which fuse is blowing But yes you can reuse your cabling but if it has issues those will continue on the new panel Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Further diagnosis with a multimeter is required. The least likely thing popping the fuses would be the panel. Replacing only the panel will rule out a keypad but there are many other parts of the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Agreed a fuse is their to protect the control panel, they dont blow because the there is something wrong with the control panel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise local installer maybe your best option You may end up having to open some detectors , but they probably as old as the panel and plastics can break If your not on tight budget then get all new sensors aswell If your not on tight budget and still want to reduce cost , then probably what your protecting isn't worth it anyway , so just scrap and leave it on the wall and have no alarm Otherwise wireless DIY pyronix enforcer will do you....
