Honeywell Galaxy 2-12

hello, I recently bought a house with the above alarm fitted. It recently stopped working (ADT alarm). It just has stars on the panel *********** (like that) and occasionally says managers re-set required. I contacted ADT who said it's not one of their fitted and monitored alarms and someone got an ADT alarm and fitted it. I will have to pay £150 to have it reactivated and then a monthly contract. That's not the issue though, more the problem is that it's going off during the night & I don't know how to switch it off & ADT won't do it as it's not their alarm! Help

If you don't want to use it juicy open panel disconnect battery and remove fuse (do this in day time as outside sounder will go off) then get ladders and disconnect battery in outside sounder .

 

[lizziebee]

Thank you. Is there any way of disconnecting it without faffing about outside as I'm too old to go up a ladder. Can't I do it internally? How do I know which is the fuse?

 

[Neil a]

Near the main panel should be a small white fuse box with fuse on it if you locate that and disconnect inside battery outside sounder will sound for maybe a couple of hours unless it a newish one and will programed for about 20mins then battery should go flat .

 

[lizziebee]

Is this the thing you're referring to?

 

[Neil a]

Yes the small white box flick out the fuse and open the big panel and disconnect the battery (outside sounder will go off )till battery outside goes flat or cuts off please do this in morning don't upset your neighbours

 

[lizziebee]

Thanks, once I open it, is it obvious which the battery is?

 

[Neil a]

Yes the tamper will go off but as soon as you take out the battery internal sounder will stop .if you have codes and something goes wrong put everything back and enter code on panel ( should be fine though )

You can get this up and running again (with help from the forum here), but likely you'll need to spend £15 on a new battery.
