barneysmum Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Hi, Have just moved into house and the alarm has started beeping at random. There is a small booklet for a Gardtec 360/580 which isn't much help. I have turned Chime "off" and turned off the fuse in the garage but it still randomly beeps. It's driving me nuts! I have turned the fuse back on now as it made no difference. Is it possible to turn chime off for individual zones as there seem to be 3 zones but I can't see how to set chime for them one by one. How can I either fix it or turn the whole thing off so the kids and I can get some sleep tonight? Any advice would be appreciated - thank you! P.S. Have checked log - nothing there and have set and unset alarm.
Guest Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Is it deffo the alarm? - Its not possibly a smoke detector somewhere with a low battery is it?? Just check that possibility out. Dave.
Eggy Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 I also think this is a smoke detector battery problem. The only other thing I think it could be is a line fault. If it's a single high-pitched beep every five minutes or so, it's probably a smoke. Alarm tones would probably be two notes or more.
barneysmum Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 I was just logging back on to say ignore me ....it was the smoke alarm! - no idea why I didn't even think about that! If I'd done a bit more digging on this site I'd have found the answer before I posted - nice one with the quick replies though - excellent!
