Hi all,
Last night we had a power cut and wasnt sure if my alarm was doing what it was supposed to and after a bit of googleing found it could be my battery needing replacement. The unit was installed prior to us moving in but will be about 2 years old.
So the power went out in the street and the external bell sounded on my alarm for 15-20 minutes and then stopped. I was unable to silience during this time as the keypad was dead. This is the keypad I have if it helps:
Google sugests model number is 8EP416
This is the actual main box I have on the wall too:
When the power came back on both internal and external bells sounded so as the keypad now have power I entered the code and it reset and has been fine since.
When the power was out I could still see a red light on the external bell unit so they did still have power of some sort.
Im not sure if this is what it should do but seems a bit daft that the alarm sounds in and out on power up again and at 1:30am this morning wasnt that great!
