Manual says international concord?.....its wireless

You will need check if the tamper closed corrrectly on the unit, also check the battery is installed correctly. Then press * and your code. This will give the fault that is on the panel. Post this back up what it is saying. You may not need the code depending on how old the system is, if so keep pressing the * button to hear all events.

That is the problem so. Has your phone line being disconnected?

installed in 2007
The alarm has been disconnected from phonewatch since 2009.We have got this message in the past but it always worked out in the end.
I have changed the smoke alarm batteries before,This is the first time the smoke alarm won't stop beeping.

Could it be the batteries?

normally we use duracel 123,this time we got energiser 123,says on the back cover they must be recommeended?

Its just the smoke alarm won't stop beeping.

That is because the numbers for the monitoring station are still programmed into the system.

You will need to take the batteries out of the smoke alarm. Using a small piece of cable connect across the positive and negative terminals where the battery was connected. This will disperse any power that is in the unit. Put back in the batteries and see if that clears the fault. Failing this, it may be a problem with the detector itself.

Thanks Altor ,I will try that.

Is there anyway I can stop the alarm going off everytime I take down the smoke alarm?

No, as that is the tamper on the unit.
All you can do is enter your user code to disarm the system.
Let us know how you get on.

Hi Hoppy8,

I don't quite follow what the problem is that you are having?

Hi,

I am renting and have an Eircom Phonewatch alam which was recently disconnected from Eircom as no phone line in the house.

Since the eircom guy left its been stuck in status mode or something as anytime a window or door is opened the box says eg: 'inertia sensor front door'. I have no idea what box it is as only says Eircom Phonewatch, has 3 emergency buttons under keypad if that helps?

Here is a pic of it..



Any info or manual would be a great help!

Cheers,

G

That worked a charm! I am sane again! Cheers mate!

Do you know which outdoor boxes (ringer) can be fitted to this alarm as theyre currently dummies as was connected to Eircom but now after landlord disconnected the service I have a working alarm that doesnt ring!!

Any info appreciated as he says no boxes work with it! Typical landlord! :mad:

Yes, you need to enter engineering and put your phone number into the domestic dialer. That is if you have one that has a dialer built in. If not then a voice dialer can be added and triggered off the bell outputs.

To be honest parts needed to add a global sab to your alarm would not be available, same with adding a dialer.

I have all the paperwork but no engineer code .Thanks for the help.

Hi Guys,
I've a phonewatch alarm (with a Simon 3 panel) and I have the engineer code.
I needed to replace the battery in the front door sensor, so I deleted the sensor to stop the panel from beeping. Of course I then left it like this for ages and have only got the sensor for the battery now. When I go to add the sensor back, the panel is asking me for a 'group' number for the sensor ??
Any ideas what this group should be ?
Thanks

phantom60

It's ok - I got it. Group 10, for anyone who needs it.
