Just goes to show no matter how deep we can go into the technicals, sometimes it really is just down to pure luck...

Thanks buddy, you've been really helpful. Should have replacement later this week so will let you know how it goes. Cheers

Thanks I'll see how the replacement panel and battery goes first before considering that. The voltage across the battery terminals with no load is 13.10v so seems new, but appreciate that's not a proper load or capacity test. I would've thought the newer panels would have some way of warning if...

Ah interesting, that would explain the 30 seconds. Battery was purchased brand new at the same time as the panel but no idea how long it may have been on a shelf. They’ve agreed to replace panel but will ask for another battery too. Any recommendations on a good battery tester?

Thanks guys - F2 and F6 both remain cool to the touch when mains is on and battery is connected. I've now decommissioned the Elite 48 and got it on my work bench for testing before I get it exchanged for a new unit. Below is a Youtube video showing the fault (first drop is 5 seconds into the...

Ah thanks I didn't see that label. Mine says HAD2000-10 and date is 01-Mar-2022 if that helps anyone else out there. Will report back when I get my new replacement Elite 48 to see how that one behaves. It's a shame really as everything else apart from the 12v output is working perfectly!

Thanks for that - nothing else on the existing system has been added other than swapping the control panel. Intention is to add a Smartcom but yet to fit that as I want the panel working reliably first. Just finished running a series of diagnostic tests on my old Premier 48 (non-Elite). Wired...

Put old Yuasa 7ah battery back in and the voltage drop is now between 0.5v and 1v. An improvement but still not perfect. Does this sound like a faulty panel? Need to decide whether to rip out the new panel to get it replaced as only purchased last week - just want to make sure it's defo the...

Brand new Yuasa 7ah battery was fitted at the same time as the panel swap. Will try another battery and report back.

Hi all I have just upgraded my trusty Premier 48 to a Premier Elite 48. However, I have immediately noticed the new panel suffers from a voltage drop on all 12v outputs inc the aux 12v supply to the PIRs, the 12v supply to the keypad and the 12v supply to the SAB. Reading at each of these...
