Paragon Plus Alarm sounds when mains is off

I really hope someone might be able to offer some advice on this one before my neighbours put my head on a spike!

I need to do some electrical work in my house and unfortunately the sockets I need to work on aren't on their own breaker. So I have to power off the whole house and in doing this, the alarm sounds.

I'm certain it never used to do this, but I can't find a way to stop it without turning the power back on. I have access codes for both the master user and the engineering mode but can't seem to either turn off this feature or stop the siren sounding when the power goes.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Matt

Matt,

Your back up battery in the panel is stuffed.

Take the battery out and dash off to maplin electronics and get a replacement..

Oh - and hope that the NVM on your system is OK - there are a few of them out there that need defaulting and re-programming after a complete power down...

And whilst you are at it get the Yellow Pages and get it serviced :D

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll take a look at replacing the battery then.

cheers,

Matt

(Who didn't realise alarms needed servicing! Another item on the to-do list)
