Stopthenoise Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Hi, yesterday a fault developed with the electric circuit that my Pyronix alarm is connected to. My electrician can’t come until Tuesday and I thought this would be fine as it only affects some sockets in a couple of rooms that I can live without until then, and the alarm has a backup battery. Unfortunately, I didn’t consider how long the backup battery would last! D’oh! Today (Saturday) the battery must have run out and the ringer sounded. It went off after about 20 minutes. I was wondering if there’s a possibility it’ll go off again? I have a good local alarm company who I use to regularly service my alarm but don’t have a running contract with them so as it’s the weekend it will be really expensive to call them out today. I’m worried about it going off in the middle of the night and disturbing the neighbours. I assume there will be a battery in the bell box - is it easy to remove and should I attempt to remove this to be on the safe side? Thanks in advance for any advice. Quote
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Unlikely to trigger again, but possible. Messing with it is more likely to trigger it. Quote
james.wilson Posted August 24 Posted August 24 agreed as long as you dont leave it weeks id not expect it to trigger again Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
Stopthenoise Posted August 24 Author Posted August 24 Thanks very much for the replies. That’s what I suspected that me messing with the bell box might cause it to trigger. I’ll leave it over the weekend and just hope that it doesn’t go off in the night. I’ll phone the alarm company on Monday morning so won’t be leaving it too long. Thanks for all the help. Quote
