Hi,
I had an Omnicron alarm panel for about 20 years that died on me in March.
I searched for a replacement and came up with a Veritas 8 which looked like it would be a straight swap with my original cabled etc.
Bought it and fitted it at the beginning of April complete with a new strobe box.
All seemed well until it started bleeping on it's own and I found this 125mA fuse had blown.
Fitted a new one and all was well again.
It's just gone again, which is the third time since April.
I just spoke to tech support at Texecom and was told something is drawing too much current.
All that is on the panel are contacts on both doors and all windows, no PIR's or anything else.
I have a mains filter/spike box on the mains inlet so shouldn't be spikes.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this before or has any ideas what it might be?
By the way I'm not an electrician, I'm an audio visual engineer and I fitted my original alarm 20 years or more ago which worked faultlessly until it died.
Nothing else has been changed apart from the box and strobe box.
Any help most appreciated.
Thanks
Barry
