Guest rick 3 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Dear all Newbie with a problem, I appreciate this is an old panel/system. Its actually in my parents place and the problem is that yesterday when the alarm detected movement it would not switch off! Its usually on at night to detect the lower floor, but yesterday when they tried to turn it off, it would not turn off. This resulted in the mains fuse being pulled and back up battery on control panel being disconnected. Eventually the bell box back up batteries drained down. One odd thing was my dad mentioned that all the PIR's were on red when the alarm was on, not sure if this is normal. Apart from checking the wires and tampers for connection can anyone recommend any options.... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Has the system ever been servced? Battery Changed. Do you have the manuals for the system, both engineer and user? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secboy Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yo Rick, If i had been called to this with what you have said i would immediately suspect the battery/12v power if you have a meter check batt volts and aux volts after that its really a job for an engineer mate!

morph Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Try the default user code in your manual and see if that operates the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rick 3 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks Secboy Will give it go - just so I know is this a common feature of systems if the internal battery in the control panel is not holding charge. Can it cause a system to trigger and you not be able to turn it off? Probably a novice question but if the mains is still supplying power why should it cause a problem Appreciate anyones help.... Thanks Rick3 Try the default user code in your manual and see if that operates the system. Thanks Alarmgard Can you give a bit more info into your thinking here as I'm interested to learn what has happened, if the default code works are you saying the system has reset somehow? Thanks again Rick3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 If it works some or all of the programming may be lost, possibly due to a power failure or surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
