(may be worth powering it off for a short duration then powering it back up) If all that fails then I suspect its a faulty PCB. Quote
sixwheeledbeast Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I would start with checking the voltage and charging current from the battery leads, followed by general other voltages. 11v is too low so you either have a duff or flat battery or the panel is dragging the battery flat. Never been a fan of Risco stuff so if I found something was broken, I would be looking to replace. The keypad is unlikely to last much longer I'd imagine. Quote

datadiffusion Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I thought it was long discontinued? But who is right? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

MrHappy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 It would appear gt600 is still in production, new endstations or even pcbs are still there to purchase Ripping it all out is going be pricey... Quote Mr Veritas God

Defo still in production.... I actually quote like the 595 & 600 (don't slate me too much lol) Quote
datadiffusion Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Blimey fair enough. I knew keypads were still going. Years back I loved the 816 etc... Probably a bit like everyone says they used to like Scanny Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
