Long time reader, first time poster!
We've had no issues with our Veritas R8 system that we inherited when we moved in two years ago. We have used the alarm all of three times for holidays so it's barely been used anyway.
Set the alarm on Thursday afternoon as we were away for the night. Alarm set with no issues and was happily beeping away as we locked the door. However when we got back the following evening the alarm didn't beep as we walked in. We soon discovered that the two remote keypads we have and all the sensor are showing no lights or any activity.
However, the main box in the garage has a steady green light showing. The main fuse box was fine, and when I flicked it off this morning the green light started blinking, implying to me that the battery backup had kicked in.
I get the impression that there is a power supply issue to the PIRs and RKPs but I can't figure out how. I've checked the fuse on the main box for 'Remote Keypads' and it looks fine. I even swapped it with the 'Aux/Speaker' fuse to see if that could help, but no joy.I took a picture if that helps, as I only have a very basic knowledge but I'm not afraid of giving it a go myself:
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance,
Ben
