TexuserSA001 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Hi, my alarm system gives a SERVICE" alarm at random times. If I understand the table correct, it relates to a fuse. The fuses seems to be not that "visible". On inspection, I found a loose component, and would like to identify that. Regards. Quote

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 We don't see the international models much over here. Are you certain there was a component that came away from the board? There are often pads spare for all sorts of things, do you actually have a component that fell off. Meanwhile working out what is causing your "service alarm" from the log maybe useful. Normally the written phrase "service" on the screen would indicate a service timer, not to be confused with the service light which appears for a number of faults. Quote
TexuserSA001 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 I found some bits in the box. And the battery does not charge... Quote
TexuserSA001 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 Could it caused by my additional power supplied to the battery. See attached drawing. I tried to have some extra backup power supply to the alarm: Extra 12 V battery, charged by a solar panel charger. I did connect the alarm, to the load connection of the solar charger, with the diode in series. Quote
TexuserSA001 Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 Close-up view of the damaged area... The silver points must be the burnt soldered connection points. I think it got very hot... Quote
sixwheeledbeast Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Hot is an understatement. Not a good idea to do that. Going to be a pain to replace as it's surface mount. Quote

You should have split the load and used the additional PSU to power the detection and just common up the ov Quote
