Guest Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 1) Switch off red text! Done. 2) Post make/model of panel. Read the topic title. Sounds to me like a misunderstanding of alarms is to blame here. I would recommend you put down the tools and work out what you're doing *before* fitting an alarm system.

Guest luker Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 sorry its a security master tp 800 ,the problem is as soon as i add back up batteries all the zone lights come on with the power light . when i connect it to the backing panel the lights stay on and the panel lets me change codes and use panic alarm,but no arming alarm or anything else i checked all connections and there fine,the strange thing is every so often after checking connections zone lights will go out with just power light showing as the manual states but theres no sound and nothing else works i can post pics of manual or control panel if that helps i know its a cheap alarm but can anyone help.

dpaengineer Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Not sure about the panel, but I would say it's possible that you have blown some fuses. You say there is no sound...... That's the speaker fuse possiby gone. possibly aux fuse too. That is, if like you state, all your wiring is correct. Check aux voltages and alarm loop continuities.
