September 28, 20224 yr comment_516453 Hi everyone can I get some help please? One of my pir sensors was faulty would randomly go off in the night, so I stupidly decided to change it myself with a new D20 one, I wired it up accordingly and now I noticed that non of the sensors in the house have the red led motion light blinking anymore, when I input the alarm code in the separate panel now all the zone lights light up red and it makes the beeping noise but the alarm won't set anymore. I've tried looking online but can not find anything, please help!

September 29, 20224 yr Author comment_516459 Please can you tell me where this is located?

September 29, 20224 yr comment_516464 how do you know they were fine, did you check them with a multimeter? The battery one is your charging circuit when was the battery last replaced, if that fuse has blown its normally because the battery is drawing too much current, in other words knackered Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/45335-sl8-compact-alarm-not-working/#findComment-516464 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

September 29, 20224 yr Author comment_516466 The fuses are glass fuses and the only one that has a break that I can see in the wire is the 13v/speaker. In regards to the battery the red connection to it looks like it corroded away years ago (just saw this when I opened it) but has been working fine without this Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/45335-sl8-compact-alarm-not-working/#findComment-516466 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

Lets hope its not too late for that, if the battery has been pulling the charging circuit down enough to blow a fuse it may be your panel is unable to charge a new battery Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/45335-sl8-compact-alarm-not-working/#findComment-516474 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
