Help! Sterling alarm connected to same fuse as lights!

[Historyman]

I have moved to a new home where there is a sterling 10 alarm system installed. I am in the process of changing some of the light fittings within the house, and when I flick the switch for the fuse to the downstairs lights, the alarm system goes off.

I have looked through all of the settings and user manual, and can't seem to find a way that I could turn the power to the lights off without the alarm sounding at the same time.

Any help please.

Buy a new battery for the alarm.

The most common complaint about non maintained systems is this fault and the most answered.


If and when you change the battery, flick that fuse off and then change the battery (12vdc 7Ah). Yes the system will ring outside (what you are experiencing now). But will stop you getting electrocuted if your unsure about these things.

I know you said your changing light fittings but its always prudent to warn about this.
