Guest andy150 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Hi. Really need some advice before ripping system out and installing new. I moved into my house a year ago. It has a dsc power832 (the panel i think is pc5015 it only has three sets of buttons on the right). Anyhoo worked fine until a week ago. The numbers 3,2,4,3 keep flashing on the screen and i can't do anything to get them to stop. I have changed the batteries in all the sensors and also replaced the back-up battery. Startin to get a bit minty with it and considering getting it all ripped out and replaced unless anyone here knows anything about these things. andy

Guest andy150 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 wont even let me do that anymore. just buzzes when i hit 2 then goes back to flasing 3 then 2 then 4 then 3. its all very strange.

Sounds like the panel could be on remote reset, is it/was it on contract with a alarm company? There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
Guest andy150 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I believe it was before i bought the property. But its been working fine for a year now.
morph Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 British Gas alarm by any chance, Its well worth keeping, DSC are very good alarms, what part of the country are you in, we might be able to suggest an engineer that could sort out the problem.
Guest andy150 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Im in the mighty metropolis of st helens in the north west. would prefer to get it fixed to be honest. was hopin it was a common prob that could be easily solved, but never mind. appreciate the replys tho oh, and yes it is british gas.
j.paul Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 would prefer to get it fixed to be honest. was hopin it was a common prob thatcould be easily solved, but never mind. Yes its easy solved, you just enter the reset code (Thats if its on remote reset?) But long term, if it's just going to be a bell only system then I would get someone to program that bit out (so system is on user reset). Also give it a once over to make sure its work ok etc There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
Guest andy150 Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 its all over my head mate. Is this something a local engineer can do? or can i phone british gas and ask them to reset it for me? again... for the replys. andy
