hi

i have the same problem as rich1978 had in 2009.

i have bought a repossessed house from the bank ( failed developer) for my wife and I's first home.

because its a repossession most manuals etc are missing.

the property has an alarm - Texecom Veritas R8 Intruder Alarm - which has an old code preset .

is there a way i can reset the code ?

at the moment when i try anything the alarm is triggered and i have to turn the alarm off at my fuse box

[S.H.S 10]

contact an alarm installer in belfast???? because if you can turn it off at the fuseboard the battery back up isnt working anyway

I came back from holiday and entered the house, all was well, the alarm started to beep as normal. when I put the disarm code in it had no effect - still beeping. The alarm then went off and I had to stop it by disconnecting the battery.

 

My neighbour told me there had been a power cut (about 4 hours) while I was away.

 

I had a similar problem a few months ago and got en engineer to come out. He tested the battery and said it was ok. He reset the system and all was well. It was 10 minutes work for £85.

 

There must be something wrong for it to fall over each time there is a power cut?

 

Any ideas on what might be the problem and how to reset my system from its current state - fuse out and battery disconnected?

makes you worry when someone is asking for reset codes for your own alarm system type

 

Cos they've just moved in and don't know the code.

hi saxondale.

if you or any other engineers could sort this for me I would appreciate .it

veritas v8 polycab panel.

once the eixt or entry tone has finished and is left to alarm the speaker emits an even louder buzzing but not a proper alarm wailing sound. Any ideas?,,,cheers r29

If the alarm activates on a power cut the battery is failing. They don't last forever.

[ringworm29 10]

thanks for getting back..

this is a new system and all was working fine .

when I first installed it the buzzer would work fines and if I left it to alarm the speaker would omit an alarm sound ,,but now after a couple of weeks it is more a very loud vibrating buzzer sound.

the battery is new and is holding 13,4 volts

I have changed the 16 ohm speaker and it is the same

this buzzing may be normal but would like to know for future fittings.

thanks for getting back to me,,,r29

Hi there,

Having exactly the same problem here. Moved in, no codes and the engineer code has been changed. I know this because the unhelpful man at texecom had me try various combinations of 1234 and 4321 with no success.

 

Then last night a power cut and about 1 hour into it, the alarm goes off. I assume this is a battery problem and I ended up opening the box and pulling a small fuse out to silence it.

 

Any advice is welcome, even if only to tell me it's screwed.

 

Cheers
