never hurts to change the battery...

meh....get same issues with pyronix panels... quite a few unexplained control panel psu faults...

these magnets are pretty weak on these, try to align it and move the magnet up to the edge of the door, this of course is cheaper than buying a new one, so worth trying first. Doors warp, especially wooden doors, with weather change. personally, if I was called out to a jojb like this, i'd try...

my company used to fit visonic powermax for a few years.. awful panel. tranformers forever burning out... had a tendency to lock up when you changed device batteries aswell. programming menu is as fiddly as f*** aswell..

visonic? grrr sends shivers down me spine...

if the wrong code or tag(faulty tag can give an incorrect rfid) used, after a few attempts, it'll lock the keypad out for about 10 minutes(could be longer)- code guessing tamper.

it depends on your 'set fail' timer in timer options... your exit time will pause if you open the doors, but the set fail timer continues... if your set fail timer is quite close to the set time, then that'll is likely the issue... for example, if your exit time is 30 seconds, but you leave the...

you can get a seperate router, like the ASUS(like i have) to connect your system-then you can keep you password the same if you need to change the bt hub... ISP routers tend to be pretty poor for wi-fi in my experiance, whatever they claim..

nokia have some of their older style phones rejigged and re-released, like this one...

open circuit can mean the magnet is not aligned correctly...if the door has warped or dropped on its hinges, this can cause this... rule of thumb is, the middle of the magnet should line up to the little triangle/mark on the base/side of the mrc... and as close as possible..

cheaper to get a system where you can hide the keypad in a cupboard and use a phone app...

if the bell is running off its own battery, it'll eventually die... there is a way to disable it without getting up to it, but its far to dangerous forr a non engineer, and it will render the bell permanantly inoperable..

sounds like the modem is at fault, you'll get a comm fault or arc call fail if the issue is with the line..

smoke devices recommended to be changed every 10 years, carbon monoxide sensors every 5. dust can cake onto the elements within the smoke head making it dirty... so if iits a particulalry dusty atmosphere, or a through route for a breeze, it'll likely require replacing more frequently..
