Alarm problem (self caused!)

[Mr_Squidge]

I have a guardtec alarm that was already in the house when we moved in. I think that it is either a 360 or a 580.

Anyway, I was trying to swap over one of the movement detectors for an \\\'animal smart\\\' one that I had bought - so that the cats would stop setting off the alarm.

Well, you guessed it. I managed to set off the tamper alarm and couldn\\\'t reset the system (no power to the control pad). So I had to get the ladder out and disconnect the battery within the alarm siren box - man that thing is loud when you are that close to it!

The problem that I have now is that there is no power to the control pad so despite re-wiring to the original movement sensor I cannot get the alarm to work.

Any advice would be most welcome.

you have blown a fuse in the panel change it for another one tha is the same as the blown one, probably 1 amp.

also the pet detectors dont work, but then if you have changed the origonal one for a pet detector, assuming its at the same height it will probably pick up nothing, but in geneal they are a waste of time.

try a search for more info

I have to say my pussy cat has not set them off yet, and the system's been installed 6+ years.

Edit:

Oh **** me! That ****ing Swear Filter has ****ing bleeped out the word ****ing pussy! I don't ****ing believe it!

****-Bastards!

Thanks. Have found fuse (glass line fuse, like you get in car radios) and it is blown as you suggest. All I need to do now is find somewhere that sells them... I assume the colour banding on it tells me what amp is is?

Hopefully that'll solve the problem.

P.S. So the animal immune sensors are no good then? I suppose I'll find out when I get the alarm back working.

The size is normally etched in the base of the fuse, i.e. F1A (Quickblow 1A) or T1A (Antisurge 1A) etc.
