Power outage

If the electricity is gone in the area - enter your code at the keypad to stop the beeping. And let the panel battery do the work.

Don’t ignore low battery warnings. Esp ‘panel battery fault’ or ‘panel battery pack needs replacing’
Make sure you have an up to date panel battery that has been changed on the last 5 years.

We have panel batteries in stock in the office on the Main Street of Dunshaughlin complete with detailed instructions

Change your clocks AND change your batteries

Reminder of the golden rule. Change your clocks means change your batteries in your smoke/carbon alarms. When have you checked them last?

If your power is gone and the alarm is beeping to notify you, just enter your user code to acknowledge. This will then announce the message MAINS FAULT to confirm no power. The system is now using the back up panel battery.

Alarm panel battery

Don’t ignore the warning. The panel battery keeps the alarm system running during a power cut so it’s essential it’s in good condition.

This is something you can manage yourself maintenance wise

- Locate your alarm panel. (This is the Brain of the alarm - Not to be confused with the keypad) Usually in a utility room, hall press or attic.

- Open the panel cover You will need a screwdriver and some systems will beep when the panel lid is opened

- Identify the battery. It’s typically a large sealed battery with 2 leads (red & black)

- Disconnect carefully Remove the leads Red first then black

- Insert the new battery. Again red first then black

- Close the panel lid. Make sure it’s flush and secure

- return to the keypad and enter your code

These batteries usually last 5-7 years but of course that depends on the amount of power outages you have had.

If yours hasn’t been changed in a while it’s worth checking.

We stock these panel batteries on our office on the Main Street of Dunshaughlin so you can drop in and pick one up when needed.

If you would rather not open the panel yourself get in contact and I will organise a callout. Happy to help
