Pappa583 Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 I have just hard wired the garage to an unused zone in my alarm panel to eliminate the need to buy batteries for the remote door contact unit. Seemed to be going through batteries rather quick. Anyway, as I have now got the garage hard wired in I no longer needed the add on radio unit and attempted to disconnect it from the panel. This resulted in me being unable to set the system so I presume it needs to be uninstalled as zone 91 which I thought I had done. Set the alarm last night went to be and it lasted an hour before waking the house up with a display in the keypad of Garage !!!check!!! L!. this also happened yesterday day time when the alarm wasn't even set, just rang with the display garage. The garage is or was the radio zone so shouldn't have alarmed? As the battery was flat in the garage sender unit the alarm didn't respond anyway so I'm thinking have I damaged something when I disconnected it? Am I going to have to rest and reprogrammed the whole system disconnecting the radio unit when I power everything down and only using the hard wired zones? I don't have the install manual just the user one but managed to find a pdf ononline if I need to. Wish I'd just bought some batteries now..... Quote
james.wilson Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Shouldn't use more batts than every 2 years but you will need to remove all programming for the wireless side if you have removed it. I'm assuming this isn't under any sort if support contract Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
Pappa583 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Posted November 16, 2019 No contract but the lad who installed it many years ago is gonna come and service it for me and while there he will get it sorted/uninstall the remote device I hope.. Quote
james.wilson Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 OK, you will need to remove the rf device. Obviously you can't just disconnect bits of am alarm and it not mind!

It is 1 way rf, its noticed the wired part is missing not the wireless bit but yes you are right Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
aissecur Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 in the engineers menu (under Programme zones) you need to turn off wireless ZEX (I think it is) Quote
