Risco 2 button panic alarm wireless fob issue

[James R]

Hi all 

Got a Gardtec panel that has 2 panic alarm wireless fobs as zones 92 and 93 

When customer started setting procedure - alarm wouldn't set and got a alert message on one of the panic fobs - wouldn't reset with engineers code and kept into 'alert! Enter code' or something to that effect. It leads me to think the panel thinks the fob is being pressed due to a fault and won't set as a result - all the alarm reset codes are either 'any code' or 'engineers code' so I don't think there's a different code that I don't know for PA reset. Wondered if any one has had similar issues? Or have any info

 

Regards

Might not help much , it's normal all these weird faults on disco gear

 

But most hate them here ,H might know or asicc dude whatever his sign on is lol

Silly question is button stuck? Batteries changed or just tested , powered down and up to see if it clears , or try new fob

Have you put new batteries in the fob? 
 

may be worth deleting the fobs & then relearning them 

If you delete them, learn one, test it if all ok learn the other

Got a lot of sites where the previous 'ahem' contracter has put risco pa alarm fobs everywhere - would you recommend swapping them out?

I don't like there equipment , but some her do use some stuff , there wireless is dodgy 

 

But you will get better evaluation from others , there's plenty of threads on the stuff trade side 

 

Once you had your covict19 jab they will let you in

We use texecom as standard. Had a few issues with risco wireless gear recently. Something we're having to look after.. Installers by previous contactors - they must have loved as they've put everywhere
