Guest nerys Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 hi am about to move house and i have one of those xm6 panels - having read the problems previously i have the feeling mines similar. the 'light' circuit fuse blew and when i replaced it the panel lit up light a crimbo tree and froze me out of the panel. when i remove the power the battery last about thirty minutes. will removing the panel set the wall box if i need to replace the batt. cos i dont have any effing ladders. PLEASE advise....Nerys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Yes removing mains and battery power to the panel should sound the external sounder. You dont need a ladder to change the battery, simply switch the mains off, the external sounder will sound, open the panel remove the battery, close the panel. Switch the mains back on. Buy a battery. Replacement is the same as above. Howver you need to make sure that the charging circuit is not damaged and that the panel has not lost its programming. If you are in anyway unsure i would suggest that you get an installer to do this for you, depending on your location I would expect to pay anywhere between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nerys Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 sorry to be a pain - with regard to the frozen panel...will this restore after replacement and will the external box stop when i restore power after batt. removal and if not how do i reset if now buttons work. i've read obout 'volatile memory' or something, how do i clear that on an mx6. i sound just like a blond sorry. nerys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 First thing IGNORE everything you have read elsewhere. Get a new battery and fit it, providing the faulty battery has not damaged the system or the memory has been lost, changing the battery will solve the reported issue. Your existing number should still work the system if it does not that try the default number 0123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
