<div class="bbWrapper">Hi all. I installed a Honeywell alarm around 5 years ago and included a simple set fob reader (rf id). This has recently ceased to function which is a real shame and it seems to be discontinued <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> I have a limited knowledge of alarm systems but I would love ti know if there a similar compatible reader out there?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Yes .... it's just a ...swop over ....what's not working on the simple set ? Is the power or day light on ?</div>

No I haven't actually, I guess I would need to disconnect power from the panel because a power off would just kick on the backup battery right? Or just open the reader and disconnect in there might be easier i guess.<br />

Worth a try I suppose bud, it was working one day then the next time I tried to disarm it wouldn't.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Sorry if I've missed it, but do you have a seperate prox reader, or is it built into the panel - I think it's a seperate reader you have. I couldn't find it for the panel, but the blue text was a link for the seperate prox reader instructions, so you'd normlly need to put the panel into engineering mode, and than take the back off of the prox reader to set the jumper.</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">In case anyone comes here with similar issues (there are a lot of these readers out there after all) my experience is that every so often the device 'locks up'. That is to say, it looks 'alive' as far as the LEDs go but it is both unresponsive to fobs or to status changes (i.e.day mode on/off).<br />
As the alarm panel remains powered up all the time, I suppose one could expect this in time.<br />
It is a bit inconvenient when you come home to disarm the panel and there is no response! All that is required is to remove the power to the reader for a few seconds. I fitted a small push-to-break switch underneath that does this. I 'reset' it this way every few weeks and have never had a problem since.<br />
Maybe this is why an otherwise successful device was discontinued by Honeywell??<br />

Great idea with the reset button. It has crashed a couple of times since but not for a while. It's a shame they are not made anymore. Mine has gone beige instead of the original white <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown :(" data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> lol</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Do you want to buy one ?</div>
