Thanks, I do in fact have the engineer manual; it is just my lack of understanding. I thought I had posted again earlier to say that I have done it but somehow, that post got lost in the internet. I was setting it fundamentally incorrectly. Following the above instructions with three presses...

Compliments of the season one and all, Having just replaced an Accenta Gen4 Mini, I am now trying to set it up within engineer mode. As a non-alarm expert (ie, alarm numpty!), I do find the language in the engineer manual to be confusing, but.... Have everything set, zone names, exit...

Moved the sound bomb to below the panel so the wires are not immediately adjacent to the mains or transformer, and as expected, the humming has stopped. Toodle pip and compliments of the season

Have the replacement panel up and running and since if it activates, it is impossible to hear the external sounder in the house and particularly if entry is from the back. So this time, I have fitted a sound bomb, if for no other reason that the excessive inside noise is slightly disorienting...

Fitted the replacement panel today and everything is working as it should. No 'noise' from the external sounder when the mains is connected so can only conclude that something on the panel had 'freaked out.' Now I have to reprogram the RKP but it is working on the default code. As an aside, I...

Thank you; I’m on the case tomorrow.

So I connect it to the Bell terminals on the panel board?

Complements of the season one and all, Following my previous threads relating to a noise' from the external sounder when the mains is active, I have decided to replace the Accenta Gen4 Mini panel with a 'new' one from an eBay seller. it is of course, old and no longer made, but it is unused...

A new, replacement sounder did not cure the issue so I have bought another, albeit old(ish) stock but new panel and will fit in due course. Will post he result when installed.

That is my thought also, so my non-technical conclusion is that it would be best to buy a replacement panel. Have found a new, albeit from that era panel at a price that is certainly less than engaging an engineer who may tell me, you need a new panel.

You are absolutely correct but that is not a very helpful comment. However, I did install this alarm when I built the house fifteen years ago and it has been working just fine until recently when, I set the RKP and the external sounder started to make the 'noise.' Assuming it was a battery...

Did a factory reset but that has not stopped the beeping when the mains is on. Also checked the AC voltage with power off and on. Meter on AC, pos probe to12v DC, neg to mains earth and check with mains off and on. In the photo, the mains earth is arrowed; the AC reading with mains off at...

Since starting this endeavour we have not had a working alarm and I really don't know where to go next. All I know for certain is, a new external sounder has not solved the issue so presumably, it is nothing to do with the sounder. But the panel works just fine on batteries alone, the warning...

We have mains water pressure throughout the house but two of the hot water taps are blasting air and water. Don't know where the air is coming from and it does clear, but like the Terminator, it does return. The house water pressure is about (or less than) 3 bar. Checked the expansion tank to...

What ho one and all, Owing to a minor hot water issue, I turned off the mains and depressurised the system before checking the expansion tank pressure. The system is mains feed with a PRV set to around 3 bar. The expansion tank reading was 0.75 bar. Assuming that the tank should be around 3...
