Gardtec 580 Tamper reset problem

[paulbaker1954]

Hi

Javing issue resetting after changing batteries in 2 wireless shock detectors (Risco units). Tamper reset is set to any code for sure, in fact all resets are set to any code. I have tried turning both unis off and then adding them back but the alarm will not reset.

 

To reset I am entering main code, saying yes to set but all to no avail. I have checked the tamper springs etc in the sensors etc but the thing just does not want to reset

 

If I remove all power (including backup battery) will this force a reset (I am guessing so)

 

Any other ideas anyone?

Javed of all trades best leave it alone

Risco being Risco? You could try a power cycle if you have the confidence to reprogram everything if it does wrong.

Best option would be to get someone that knows Risco to sort it out.

Seriously tho, these are a proper pain , all the risco stuff is on resetting tampers , annoying 

 

But you sure all batteries are good ? And you closed them correctly ?

 

Last one I found was a sensor the customer didn't know they had (smoke alarm)

rip it out & stamp on it?

 

its 1 way radio, wait for the device to sleep then wake the transmitter with a 12hr alarm or view the device strengh
