kwano888 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Newly installed Large size Accenta G4 with LCD RKP with 7Ah backup battery. Everything is working fine off the backup battery, PIR's, shock sensors, door contact etc. apart from the mains power. The mains red LED on the panel and RKP are not lit. There is power going into the panel on the fused side and all the fuses look good. I thought the panel was faulty so took it back and got a replacement but the same identical thing is happening. I thought it maybe a faulty power supply unit in the panel. Is there a problem with the mains supply ? It is showing 'Live' on a live tester ! It's driving me crazy and can't seem to work out the problem. Is there something I have missed ? Configuration or pins etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al-yeti Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just because you have a tester showing live on live , doesn't mean neutral is present If it's an electrical problem have you checked the neutral is making contact? I assume its off a fused spur Just one thing to check i suppose I assume your taking precautions working on mains seeing as your connecting it or get an electrician to check it Is it showing live on the neutral aswell? Then has to be as above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwano888 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 whats the day current? Don't understand. Just because you have a tester showing live on live , doesn't mean neutral is present If it's an electrical problem have you checked the neutral is making contact? I assume its off a fused spur Just one thing to check i suppose I assume your taking precautions working on mains seeing as your connecting it or get an electrician to check it Is it showing live on the neutral aswell? Then has to be as above Yes off a fused spur. Flat has been totally rewired and the spur was installed by the electrician specifically for the alarm panel. If it's showing 'live' on neutral then that's a the problem ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
