    Hi Guys

    Been reading through a few battery threads and I still need some help !

    Alarm must be about 6 years old (No wireless sensors batteries have been changed yet :o

    Been left on my own with this system since it was fitted etc, all been fine so far !

    So, Just before I closed up shop in March due to Covid I was getting control panel battery needs changing, it's well over 3 years old as I said so not timer related (I think) I had been reading in some threads about this 3 year timer gets enabled in the menu when the system is getting installed....

    Anyway opened panel last week back up battery gone (Metered it, it had been bugging me before and i'm back open last week after 14 weeks)

    Replaced pack (With mains on) now i'm getting this.... Video below, I thought i'd upload this
    so you can LMK what I need to do to get this back to normal when arming and disarming....

    Thanks

    The batteries in the sensors,are going low know,You will need to change them,
    If the alarm is 6 years old, it would be no harm to give it a service,

    Firstly it is not the actions of the Installer of a Quantum Panel to set up a battery failure condition 3 years later.
    This is the recommendation of the manufacturer, they know their product better than anyone else.


    To change the Panel Battery you also need to get into the system programming in order to reset this 3 year timer again.


    I tried looking at your youtube video but it would not link.


    As per the previous poster mentioned, you might as well replace all the batteries in all of the devices at this stage.
