Tvo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi all, I have the above alarm system. In the last couple days it was doing abnormal things. To start with, all PIR sensors stopped working, but the contact sensors were fine (both types are hard wired). Then I started getting a low battery notification in events (battery was changed last year). Then it seemed there is no power at all to the main panel or the keypad. Now when I remove and reinsert the fuse just before the panel, the system powers on, but only for like 5 minutes or so and the whole thing switches off again. Whilst it is powered on, the PIR sensors still do not seem to be in a ready state. Is there anything I can do/check before calling out an installer (alarm is not currently under a maintenance plan)? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/47123-risco-lightsys2-main-power-to-panel-keeps-cutting-out/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tvo Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 (edited) Cannot fully make it out, but assume it's the white brick behind the board? Poor picture, but the incoming power goes in to there and then to the DC pin.

Tvo Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Thanks for the replies all. Am I able to purchase a replacement/compatible PSU myself or do I have to go through an installer?
