Guest ian boldon Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi, this is my first post. Hope someone can help. I have a veritas 8, and today, my girlfriend entered the house, beofre disabeling the alarm (Which is in the porch). Now none of the detectors are working i.e. not "blinking", and when i set the alarm it beeps 10 times then doesn't set. However the zones with detectors in are now lit up. The manual says that the mains is off and the power light is flashing. Neither of those is true the mains is on and the power light is on constantly. Help please, I can't sleep tonight without my alarm on. Thanks Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/1175-veritas-8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Sounds as though you have a blown Aux fuse, itll need replacing. ........................................................

Guest ian boldon Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Aux fuse??? Sorry I'm a novice, how and where? Is that just the normal 3amp fuse (bit like the ones you get in plugs)?? for the fast reply Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/1175-veritas-8/#findComment-6351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Its inside the control panel and labelled as F3, and should be a 20mm 500mA fuse rated at 250 volts. Its smaller than the fuse you would find inside a plug. ........................................................

Service Engineer Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 1) When replacing a fuse always observe the specified rating and type - failure to do so is dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. Fuses should comply with IEC 127. ........................................................

Service Engineer Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Sorry didnt realise you had the older (pre 2000) version, its F2 then and should be a 1amp 250v 20mm fuse. ........................................................

Service Engineer Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 You may be lucky and just get away with replacing the fuse but its more than likely blown for a reason, only replace with the same value fuse and if that blows you`d best call an engineer to find the fault. ........................................................
