hi my brothers alarm system a gardtec 300 has gone down

he had a power cut and now his security code wont work,

do these have a battery backup,has the battery gone ?

its wired on the circuit for the heating 30amp (surely that cant be right) are these box's fused internally or should it be on its own 5 amp circuit?

anyway i could do with some info on resetting it and getting a new security code in

im an electronics engineer so i arent concerned if i need to do anything inside or on the pcb, i just have zero experience with alarm systems (although whilst studying i designed a basic alarm system)

"questions questions" any help would be appreciated as he hasnt got a heating system at the moment (surely that cant be right again)

regards gary

thanks for the reply i havent been over yet to have a look, going over this afternoon first i will sort the wiring, its definately older then 5 years so i will change the battery and try that code

thanks again

got a new battery tryed powering it up ,panel /keypad works fine but i cant get my head round setting it up,

seems easier to dissarm then setup lol which is strange!!

if you could give me any info on setting it up or point me in the right direction id be gratefull

regards gary

anyone help!?

The 300 has many programmable features , these settings should still be held in NVM . From a user point of view , what would you want to set up.Have you tried GardTec for a user guide?.
