I wouldn't worry about it as long as it is repaired. It's hard to say what is causing the issue without inspection. I can rule out spiders, usually panic buttons are either magnetic (reed switches) or mechanical (microswitches) but it could equally be cabling damage, moisture or a list of other issues. Worth noting even if the system is not part of the tenancy, if it's powered up it should be checked periodically. You will have similar disturbances if batteries go faulty.

Doing work for nothing or pocket money helps nobody. It's bad for the industry as a whole. You are being used and are liable for your work. Everyone wants something as cheap as possible. You just don't realise the bigger picture. Even in your google review responsiveness is higher than value and it sounds like you charge next to nothing... I/We don't have to point this out, do what you want... In fact generally we don't have to post anything here, but the reason we participate is because we what to discuss issues around the trade and generally move the industry forward.

Depends if it's latching tho

You really should leave it to the landlord, you can create more hassle, even if it is frustrating. You should make notes, times and dates of everything, when you reported it etc to cover yourself.

help?

It's not sustainable and in the meantime doing over local legit businesses.

The hardware changed in 2000. "Non-voliate memory" retaining programming is in the name... a panel is useless if it looses its memory upon power loss or faulty battery, no matter what is broken. Generally if they loose memory once, they'll do it again no matter which hardware revision Veritas Yes, the clicking is correct, I didn't question that if you read...

The panel shouldn't loose it's memory like this, the charging rate should also be checked with a meter upon replacement. The loudspeakers can fail if it's the built-in ones or maybe the speaker wire snapped or come loose if your only hearing keypad clicks and you think it was louder.

Similar naming but not related companies. Everyone will have a different opinion when it comes to manufacturers. For example, I think both Gardtec and Pyronix are equally horrible.... It's probably irrelevant if your looking for a manual for your own system, it's already fitted.

You'll find those imagines will be part of a catalogue of stock images licensed for websites etc. Euro-Sec is a Installation company and Pyronix is a Manufacturer, regarding the website image you mention.

Sounds like a "Bell Delay" wait some time and see if it activates.

Nice to see Eaton have kept the classic Scantronic quirks...

Well the panel isn't capable of EOL so it should be O/C

How do you know, I didn't expand, safe to say I have seen hundreds more systems in my time... I don't think it's relevant to play who can pee up the wall higher... The OP wants their alarm repairing I have pointed out it's poorly installed. They can investigate why or get someone to fit it properly.

Seen plenty of poorly installed stuff from all types of origins... there will always be plenty more.

No global tampers and it looks like a basic panel so only a bell tamper on the whole system In the middle of a ring or radial when it should be on a 3a spur. It's poorly installed so who knows what else will or won't work...

"Worked" is relative. It can seem like it works, but I mean fully functional system. They do have a Remote LED feature but it's unlikely to be used if wired like you say. Does the alarm activate irrelevant of the LED on the device.? FWIW no movement sensor with be 100% pet proof, a different system design with perimeter protection would be the preferred option.

Maybe the system never worked before Did it still light up when you did the armed test.

Yep could also be faulty battery dragging the system voltage down, especially if not serviced. If so power supply will need checking for charging rate before battery replacement.

Sounds like too much current for most panels, would need to do standby and load current checks to make sure the battery and power supply is suitable. That Veritas sounds very overloaded.

Mains failure and it's running on battery. Maybe a fuse blown inside or circuit breaker tripped. Eventually the battery will die and trigger the external sounder.

Completely different panel and power supply setup. Premier will be a fair bit more in depth to program. A plastic cab will always yellow slightly with age but not go brown in the top left like some Veritas do. Normally that's a sign that the power supply has been heavily loaded, should do current checks. The Metal cab has a larger power supply and battery capacity, if that's a concern.

Switch mode power supplies and the regulator is off the board so will not be the same.

Yuasa are a good brand NP7-12 most likely

Yes, you could say they should have someone available much sooner but we don't know the full story. If this is non-contract and they have contract work booked that would obviously get priority. It's also self-inflicted you were told it was going to cause an issue and did it again, so I can understand it being considered less priority if busy.
