Hi all , thanks for your help on my past post.

 

The issue is I need help with is on the control panel on event log it is saying what i believe are faults but i would like to know if any one could tell me what they mean please

I have looked on the system log for events / issues it says the following=

Looking at system event view it says patio door o.    

 

Also reads 27th jan    off chg.volts lo 

 

19th jan radio lo bat ok

 

Patio door   o. 19th jan  at 00 28

 

Patio door  o.    19th Jan at 00 27

 

9 jan constant lo bat at 21.00

 

 

does any one know what these events / faults mean   more so   what     off chg. volts lo    and       constant lo battery ?

 

any help welcome again please .

Low battery?

[karl taylor]

Dont know? 

 

Would this trigger an event all the time or just once?  

 

If the units battery was knackered would this not show up all the time on the panel on event log

[karl taylor]

On event log it says this now:

 

Constant lo bat

13 feb 15:00:00

 

Radio lo bat  ok

15 feb 19:18:16

 

Off chg volts lo

27 jan 19:06:20

 

Radio lo bat  ok

19 jan 19:41:36

 

Power restored

10 jan 21:09:36

 

Constant lo bat

09 Jan 21:00:00

Any thoughts please apart from scrap this over complicated out of date joke of a alarm system.  Not impressed. 

 

Do i need a new panel battery? 

[al-yeti]

Have you measured the battery voltage with good meter , not Chinese stuff that will give you wrong readings 

 

For the sake of £4 change battery see what happens

hi where is the best place to buy a good quality battery for this alarm control panel  ? 

 

just need to remove front cover and reset tamper then unclip it and fit new one ? don't think any thing special about doing this > I don't need to reset it on the system so alarm knows it has a new battery for correct trickle charging ?

from an alarm co.

 

one who familer with your product would probably change the al the battery monitoring option to the highest & lowest settings

 

all the radio sensor batteries require replacing too

[karl taylor]

Have change the 5 wireless batteries on the wireless sensors last month.

What other batteries are there apart from them and one in panel

 

Why do i need to change them again?.

 

How do i change the battery monitoring options to highest and lowest settings on this panel?  its not a user friendly system. 

[MrHappy]

says radio low battery 15th feb..... you using remote fobs (not prox tokens) ?

 

battery monitoring options are under diagnostics ?  low is 11.8 & high is 14.2 IIRC ?
