Battery error

brianbrain63 · 2016-09-03 17:00:40

I have an Astec 63. This morning there was a buzzing sound from the alarm and a burning smell . On control panel there is mention "Call engineer" ,fault and battery. So is this the battery in the keypad or the battery in the output device '? Is this a DIY job to replace ? Thanks

The battery is in the main control panel.
This is the battery you need.

A little bit more care is needed compared to other systems , as the PCB needs to be removed. Its important to be careful not to squash the cables behind the PCB when putting it back together.
