A few months a go I started a query about Pyronix Burglar Alarms. Basically I was doing some work, disconnected the mains, but left the battery connected. It drained down ( quite quickly actually) and the beep indicating power supply loss went quiet. Forgetting that with such cheap crap, the charging circuits were probably not current limited I reconnected the mains to the circuit board and the drained battery but I couldn't get any life at the remote keypad. I assumed I had blown the board and proceeded to buy a new board which I duly connected to the dead Battery. Guess what.....yep exactly the same problem!
Advice from this site suggested a new battery was needed, which I duly bought and connected and everything was great for about 3 days, when again the keypad went dead.
AT this point it dawned on me that I had connected a potentially duff board (probably blown due to connecting to an old battery) to a new battery and that the battery had been supporting the system for two or three days. I checked as far as I could that I had a power supply, swapped the transformers, replaced fuses and tested. all O.K. except the battery which was completely drained and I could not recharge it no matter what I did.
So I bit the bullet, bought a new board and a new battery together. Put the new battery on charge to ensure it was fully topped up and then connected it all. I new mains power supply was good and so with life at the remote keypad I reprogrammed and presumed I had solved the problem.
Two days later, the keypad is dead again. The new battery is again completely U/S ...cannot recharge and I am scratching my head!
Any thoughts...the Pyronix helpline is useless...or do I have to admit defeat and get someone in?
