Hello,
I recently had an issue with my Accenta G4 alarm. The external bell box was ringing a the remote keypad was dead. I replaced the battery and everything was fine for a few hours, then the same thing happened again. Despite AC being present on the main board, It appears the alarm was running constantly of the battery and flattening them.
After quite a large quote to replace the main board, I decided to buy an identical alarm (£45 on EBay with an LCD keypad). I wired everything up and walk around testing every sensor. Everything workes but the external bell box. The wiring from the alarm box side looks fine. I was wondering whether the lack of power to the bell box for nearly a week has flattened the bell box battery. However now there's power to the bell box, shouldn't work regardless of the bell box battery state?
Cheers,
Lee
