i-on compact - low battery

[pixiethecat]

Hi,

I have an Eaton I-On compact alarm. 
I’ve had internal beeping from the unit telling me the ‘RSN01 Low Battery (Radio SRN 01).

 

a few questions here 

a) what does this mean (aside from a low battery somewhere!) 

b) how on earth do I get the internal sounder to not beep when something like this happens? Having the unit beep every second at 3am isn’t ideal…. 
 

thx

I don't fit Ion however...

This seems like "Siren battery" so most likely an external siren.

Most wireless systems do not alert when they are armed, some panels you can silence these beeps for a short period of time (disarming procedure).

Ideally you wouldn't let the system battery get to this point. When was the system last serviced?

go back in time, subscribe to maintenance contract & ensure the alarm co do the routine replacement of primary  batteries

 

I'd say every 3-5 years for a siren, c sized lithium things with a wiring loom,
