Hi I've trawled this forum trying to find an answer to this problem and i've found similar problems but not exactly this fault.
We've lived at current property for about a year. It was built in 2004 with standard veritas v8 alarm system. Never had any problems until last week when the alarm wouldn't set. Exit tone beeps 30 seconds then I assume an "error" tone afterwards which needs the code inputting to stop it.
I've read that the number of beeps should correspond to a fault. However when for example I do "part set" zone 3 and 6 flash and 1 is illuminated (door contact) which is not fitted. Then the only other beep you get is if one of the pir's is activated and you get that number of beeps. ie. 2 quick beeps for hall pir. 5 for lounge etc.
Anyway I've changed the battery in the main unit like for like 7ah yuasa. Removed power supply fuse on pcb and external bell operated which i think is correct. Checked 5 fuses on the board for continuity, all OK. Omitted zones 3 and 6 from the zone setting still no good.
What should I check next ?? Any help appreciated. Thanks
Chris
