I'd say your either following the defaulting instructions incorrectly or very slim chance the panel is duff. We don't provide defaulting instructions here.

I have an Accenta g4 mini here. It is allegedly brand new but the default ##REMOVED## code will not work. I’ve defaulted it however can’t get the engineers code to crash no matter what. As far as I’m aware the codes can’t be locked on these, but any help is greatly appreciated Tia jay

Agreed. Control panel being inaccessible and unserviced is most likely the issue. That's if the system hasn't blown something in the meantime.

If 10 years no service or battery change, it's not might anymore , it's a must , provided no other damage has taken place But worth the try

Hi all I have an ADE GEN 4 system It's been installed for about 10 years. Recently the alarm has been going off when unset. I'll enter my code and the screen reads 12345678 TP 00000000 00 Prompted to enter X and the system reads unset . About 20 minutes later the alarm goes off again. I'm sst here at 0500 waiting to see if it'll do it a third time Any ideas? Unfortunately I have made the master panel pretty unaccesble Under floor! All assistance very welcome I was wondering. The beĺl outside , might its battery need replacing ??

yes 20 years or more was a TS790 now a Euro 46 Steel box is off the rear off the building,

You servicing it right?

- Took this tat down on Thursday

As above Think O----O----O etc One after the other. Most manufacturers do it for keypads and expanders. Some do it for detection too

Job done!! Minimum noise. Thanks to all who commented. Mrala

Lol

BUS detection devices would only be compatible with certain compatible control units and there matching manufacturer. Most modern equipment utilises some data BUS type wiring for the keypads and zone expanders, which I believe is the case for the iON. Essentially each device has an address so they can be identified back at the control and they all communicate and get powered from the same line. Often this is wired as a pair for power and pair for data.

Thank you! yes and battery replaced.

Good job And probably needed the battery anyway

Hi all, So I was looking at the Scantronic I-ON panels and I read something about 'Daisy Chaining' or BUS Wiring - Where you can install the devices - from one to the other. Can someone explain if this actually works? and how it is done? ...and how does it work? ....does this work for PIRs? or only Key Pads? Thanks

It's fixed! - It was a blown fuse in the end! When I first tested the fuses - I did not remove them from the panel!! (YES! I am a doughnut!) I think ..I caused the fuse to blow - as I cut the bell wire - whilst the system was still powered on. Thank you again all!

I had a similar conversation to this with somone that moved into a shop with our alarm. It was activating and they couldnt stop it. I offered to send someone they refused to pay for the call. They had a Verisure alarm and was saying we dont have this problem with their system, they didnt like it when I implied then nor will the burglar

Of it's a hkc bell it is led. No risk of high voltage from the strobe. The piezo will be though. I'm seeing a trend of people wanting to remove proper stuff and asking how it can be disabled. Never see the same questions on simplisafe and ring etc. That's because they can be easily disabled. If you want a burglar alarm that can be easily disabled just get a doorbell and hope it's pressed.

Might ring a while that as possibly not that old , you got procedure tho

This is the unit in question. Mrala

Pictures would help if you can post them

Xenon strobes have ~3Kv driver circuit. 230Vac (mains voltages) while dangerous is considered LV (low voltage) in the grand scheme of things.

Yes, it is an LED one. Also I assume by high voltage you mean mains 220V A/C? The only cable going to the SABB is small bell wire size. Research did say that some very old SABB units did have a mains supply. Mrala

The strobe would usually be very high voltage unless it's an LED one...
