Hello
DIY fix, help required.
I moved into into a rental house with an alarm it required some attention which I did the following
1. Replaced 2 PIR sensors which were smashed off the wall
2. Rewired the garage door contacts
3. Replaced the internal battery in the alarm control box
I was told the alarm code was lost so followed instructions to reset the alarm which seemed to work as the basic codes worked but the system wouldn’t set.
The keypad which is in the hall (main control box with own keypad in garage) had no power to it and the PIRs don’t light up
I found an f2 fuse blown on the control box board which I replaced. Hey presto the hall keypad came live and the alarm triggered, entered code to stop alarm which worked but then nothing.
Both lcd screens now show just a row of squares !
typing any code in does nothing, tried to follow reset I used before nothing. Whilst power remains to second keypad PIR lights don’t come on but not sure if that’s due to the fault occuring
any ideas what this could be or what to try ?
This is a DA systems Abacus 8 alarm system
thanks
